Lake Whitney State Park Campground

I would not recommend the spots directly on the waterside. Very windy. There are a lot of mosquitos but overall nice people very crowded and very windy.

I thought the wildflowers were the greatest feature, and then we caught sight of an angelic band of pelicans just overhead on a migratory flight - a very moving sight I will never forget.

We made a quick weekend trip to the local state park. Great clean park with a nice boat ramp. This is our home lake so we wanted to visit the state park. Would go back for a weekend trip for sure

Really nice sites to park and camp. Lake is beautiful but rocky shoreline. Only nit-picky thing is that the tent pads between me and my neighbor were pretty close, but hey - it’s a state park. The bathrooms were also further than you’d want to walk. Overall, good experience though!

Good amount of room, lake views for the most part. Lake access but everything is rock.

Family and pet friendly. Wind off of the lake was amazing, bathrooms were clean and nice to use. Campground was clean.

Our family started a new tradition of having a small camping thanksgiving the weekend before thanksgiving and we love lake Whitney. We camped in spot 91 and 92. We have our tent and the kids have a RV. The campground is nicely maintained and the bathrooms are clean. We hiked and biked.

Loved this park! The RV sites were nicely spaced, though on my RV the windows side of the rig faced the road rather than the lovely view in order to easily reach the hookups. Busy over the weekend, but just a few hardy folks during the week.

Not a lot of trails; mostly just views. Large designated swimming area that I didn't partake in due to weather being in the 40s to 60s. 

Lots of wildlife, walks on the lake were lovely. Sunsets to die for.

Camp sites are pretty tight one on top of another. If you don’t mind people milling around... We were constantly worried we were too loud or up too late. It was rainy and extremely windy campsite 093 was a terrible choice in these conditions. Wind came off the lake like a train. I bet in summer time this site is cool and cozy; winter time it was hell. We moved to a screened shelter camp and it was better. Still very crowded, even for January (NYE). Bathrooms were clean but infested with spiders. Millions of millions of spiders. Baby spiders flying like hang gliders while we pooped. Giant hungry big black spider repelling directly down on me as I showered. Spiders. In the bathrooms. Everywhere

We decided our immediate family would have our thanksgiving camping, there were 10 of us,one RV and two tents. We scored a spot at lake Whitney state park the weekend before thanksgiving and it was awesome! We hiked and biked and enjoyed the weather. The restrooms were clean and the staff was helpful. There was wifi by the restrooms. We hope to make this an annual tradition. It’s only an hour or so from the Dallas area.

Only 2 trails, one of which is lacking. But it makes up with beautiful lake views.

Large park with spacious sites, level, shaded and full hookup’s. We saw lots of deer and wild turkey! Great place to fish, kayak& hike!

Great park. Has lots of different types of camping. Clean bathrooms. Some hiking . Great swimming beaches. Lots of little coves for pulling your boat into next to your camp spots.

Visited here at least 30 times...ALWAYS love it!

Flat land and water, open camp sites with no privacy, unless you wanna fish - this isn’t the place you wanna go

the layout is weird. no waterfront by the full hookups. All the good sites are standard hookups or no electricity at all. Shade all around but over your camper. So it has a hard time cooling. Just not what I have heard about it.

We really enjoyed the stay here over Memorial Day weekend. The pull through sites were fantastic. There was plenty of room for everyone, even on a busy holiday! Fishing from the shore left a bit to be desired but it looked like thete were better areas if you have a boat. There was plenty to do to keep 4 teenage boys entertained for 3 days.

The campsites are fairly open, easy to see your neighbors and vice versa. Two short hiking trails each about a mile in length, both pretty flat. They are rebuilding the shelter area due to past flooding. In the shelter area, showers are not completely private. Again, the sites there too are pretty open. The lake is large and can get pretty choppy on windy days. Lits of fishing boats. Swim area with picnic tables near shelter area. Play area near rv sites. The newer large restroom area near the rv sites are private.

Love going here with my kiddo! There‘s lots of easy access to the water and the trails are nice. We’ve gone during different times of the year and never had any issues. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

Great park for fisherman with lots of lake access points and several boat ramps. Tons of camping options, although many are in grassy areas that don’t provide much privacy.

I stayed at Lake Whitney for a night on my way south from Dallas, so I didn't have much time to spend there.

It was my first time at the park and the rangers were really helpful in helping me to find a site, expecially after I told them I had a hammock with me.

I ended up staying at a screen shelter site with a bunch of trees and a great view of the lake.

The site had a picnic table inside the shelter and outside the shelter. It had a water spigot and a fire ring. The shelter was in good maintance and had light and plugs.

There was a swimming area near by and there were locations around the park for fishing and fish cleaning. There were also a few small trails, but I wasn't able to explore them.

Parts of the park were closed for maintenance and you could see construction in progress.

Over all, it was a great experience and a good place to escape from the world for a bit.

This park is a great go-to if you live in Texas – centrally located and quick to access from most major cities. It can get crowded on high weekends in the spring/fall, but there are ample campsites if you plan ahead a bit. Sites 39-46 in the Horseshoe Loop are ideal for quiet spots away from people, but if you want space along the water, Lakeview and Sunset Ridge are the best picks. There are a few short trails in the park but exploring the waterfront can't be beat!

Incredible park. Large pull through sites and also lots of primitive camping areas. We have stayed here 3 times and each time gets better. Lots of wildlife and good fishing. We highly recommend this park. All pull throughs have large trees for plenty of shade.
