## Overview

 Potters Creek Park is situated on the northern shore of Canyon Lake in the rolling hill country of South Central Texas. Cool breezes off the lake create a pleasant environment for relaxing in this scenic area. The lake and Guadalupe River also provide great opportunities for boating, fishing and swimming.
## Recreation

 Visitors enjoy coming to Canyon Lake for boating, swimming and fishing. The Guadalupe River is a great location for canoeing, kayaking and tubing. Both the lake and river are stocked with a variety of fish for each habitat including various bass, catfish, or river trout. Hiking, biking, horseback riding, birding, and wildlife viewing are popular activities in the surrounding hills. Five trails are available at different locations around the lake. There is a mountain biking trail, a horse trail, and several foot trails. You can not rent any items from the park, but must bring your own gear for all recreational activities.
## Natural Features

 The park is settled among Juniper and native Oaks on gently sloping terrain on the shore of Canyon Lake. Thick oak and juniper surround the upper campsites; sites closer to the waterfront are in full sun. Grassy fields of native hill country plants and wildflowers dot the landscape. Rocky outcroppings are scattered throughout the park. 
## Nearby Attractions

 Canyon Lake is near many sites of interest including Natural Bridge Caverns and the historic town of Gruene in New Braunfels.

Potters Creek Park sites map

This is seriously one of my favorite places to be. My cousins and I decided to take some hammocks out to Canyon Lake and do some grilling, swimming, and chilling. We had a ton of fun and the weather was perfect to sleep under the trees. Highly recommend. Make sure you get there early because it gets busy quickly.

Hammock Camping

I absolutely love camping here. Hostess are sweet and friendly. Everything is great. Bathrooms were so clean. I wish it had been mowed when I was there last. Can't wait to go back next week. 

Nice large sites with covered picnic tables, a fire ring, and a grill. The sites along the lake front do not have trees for shade but the ones in the back row have nice trees. No hiking in the park but the area has nice roads for biking     

Spacious sites along Canyon Lake

This park has some Great Lake front sites, but even from the upper loop where we stayed we enjoyed a beautiful view. The upper loop also has trees which really helped with the August heat. The staff is very strict about the 3pm check in time, but I understand they have rules. The park is clean and I did use the nice roomy showers they have.

COE park on Canyon Lake

This COE campground is amazing. We stayed in site 66 right on the water. There are great spots everywhere you turn. The bathrooms were very clean and the staff was very helpful. Boat ramp was easily accessible and there was plenty of space along the shoreline to hang out.

Unbelievable views

We had nice views of the lake from our campsite. Booking a spot was very easy using Recreation.gov. Many campsites were closed while we were there during COVID restrictions, so check ahead. There are trails available for hikes around the lake.

Nice Sunsets and  Views

Pros: Beautiful spots, beach access, boat ramp 
Cons: trash at campsite, 30/amp breaker was tripped and wouldn’t reset, bathrooms not well maintained, strict 3pm arrival and a 9pm curfew for arriving back into camp
We stayed June 26th site 114. Not sure this would be our first choice if back in the area. Just felt like there were so many restrictions and tbh everything should be too notch condition if you aren’t allowing your campers to arrive before 3pm. Beautiful views. MANY of the campsite have to shade at all but there were some on the inner loops that have plenty of shade. This site was right across from the bathrooms so that was nice. 

Beautiful yet restricted

Nice park with fairly large sites, mostly open understory so not much privacy but Oaks give good shade
