Swimming and fishing enthusiasts will find Lake Tejas offers direct lake access with a sandy swimming area and fixed wooden features including a high dive and swim platform. This municipal campground in Colmesneil provides electric, water, and sewer hookups alongside standard amenities like picnic tables and a camp store. The lake restricts motorized boats but welcomes canoes and paddleboards.

Sites include both partial hookup options near the lakefront and full hookup spots that accommodate some long-term residents. Despite its proximity to the July 4th holiday, recent visitors report relatively quiet conditions. Restrooms, showers, and food concessions are available on-site. Campers seeking different accommodations can explore Lakeland Ranch to the south.

Peaceful camping on small wooded lake

Elected 30 amp partial hookup site with water near lake front and pavilion. There are a few full timers in the full hookup sites, but even though it was only a few days after July 4th it was relatively quiet and peaceful. The swimming area is sandy, easy walk-in and clean. Seems to be a favorite of locals and kid friendly. High dive, swim out platform are fixed wooden features and there were two large heavy blowup climb-on floats. No motor boats, but saw a few canoe and paddle board folks and several fishing (and catching bass and perch). Did not use the bath house but heard there are restrooms, showers, and even food concessions available. Will camp here again!
