Navarro Mills Lake
Overview
Pecan Point Park is located on the northern shore of Navarro Mills Lake in central Texas. Visitors can enjoy a view of the lake from the facility and participate in popular outdoor actives like camping, boating, fishing and picnicking. The lake area provides the perfect setting to get away from it all, especially for city-dwellers from the nearby Dallas-Fort Worth metro area.
Recreation
Birding is a favorite year-round pastime for lake guests. Many species of songbirds, hawks, great blue herons, ducks, geese, other shorebirds and even an occasional bald eagle visit the area. Fishing is also popular at Navarro Mills, and the lake holds the current state record for white crappie. Fishermen come from near and far to sample some of the best crappie fishing anywhere. There are also healthy populations of channel and yellow catfish, and hefty hybrid stripers are often caught below the dam when water is being released. Liberty Hill has a fishing pier, and there is a full-service marina at the lake.
Facilities
There are 35 campsites, and five offer electric and water hookups. A variety of amenities are provided, such as a high water boat launch ramp, flush toilets, picnic tables, grills, drinking water and trash collection.
Natural Features
Most of the campsites have some shade, and Pecan Point is also a favorite viewing area for wildflowers. The brilliant array of native flowers draws visitors from all over to the lake area during the spring. Bluebonnets, paintbrushes and a myriad of other native plants transform the often-bleak winter landscape into an incredible palette of colors. A wide variety of habitat provides a home and abundant food supply to diverse wildlife. Visitors might stumble across squirrels, rabbits, coyotes, foxes, bobcats, white-tailed deer, raccoon or armadillo.

Bad would give it 0 stars
This campgrounds doesn't enforce rules. Like burn ban people next to us had a fire. Its 100 plus degrees and we haven't had rain in this area. Also had a german shepard dog running around free. They told is he wasn't aggressive but he came over to our campsite 3 times. Followed our kids down to the water. Owner didn't care and thought it was funny. They had 4 trucks parked on the grass area. At least 6 adults and 8-10 kids running around. Kids would come over to our campsite to pee. Just because your outside doesn't mean you can do or act anyway. We were fishing and kids would drive the jet ski over our lines in the water. No adults said anything. Plenty of space for everyone but the kept coming as close as they could to us. Park Ranger didn't fine them for the fire in which they started up as soon as he left. Park did nothing to make this a safe and happy place to relax. We left early to avoid any further issues with them drinking heavily it was just going to get worse as they got drunker.
This park looks good with only 5 electric and water hook ups but don't be fooled. They don't enforce any basic rules. Bathrooms even though we have a camper were so gross I would want to go in for 1 second.
