Steele Creek Park Campground

Whitney Point Recreation Area encompasses Steele Creek Park Campground, an Army Corps of Engineers facility that operates year-round along the shores of Whitney Lake. This drive-in campground accommodates RVs with full hookups and tent campers, though some sites also allow boat-in and walk-in access depending on water levels.

Most sites feature tree separation for privacy, with drinking water spigots positioned between camping areas. Two vault toilets and a porta-potty serve the campground, while pavilions cover picnic tables at select sites. The facility includes two boat ramps and a small beach area, with several sites positioned on rocky outcroppings that provide direct water access. A camp host makes regular rounds throughout the day.

Wildlife sightings occur frequently, particularly deer that wander through campsites during morning and evening hours. Alejandro G. notes the area stays "quiet, even on the weekends when most of the sites are full." GPS navigation can prove challenging since the campground sits tucked behind residential neighborhoods, requiring attention to road signs for proper access.

The facility operates as a no-fee campground with basic amenities that work well for RVers seeking hookups and tent campers comfortable with vault toilet facilities. Convenience stores sit just a few miles away for resupply needs.

free & full of nature - wonderful for nomads!

We enjoyed this free campsite as we were making our way down to San Antonio, Texas. It had a water spicket, which was perfect for nomad living. We were able to wash our hair, cookware, rinse off, and enjoy free potable water. The small things, right? 

The site we choose was private and in close walking distance to pit toilets. It has a small trail in the back, which led to the small lake. The dogs enjoyed being off-leash and the trees surrounding us was peaceful. The fire pit was wonderful and I can see why big groups would enjoy staying here!

There was some fast-food trash around the campsite, but we did not mind picking it up. Reminder: leave it better than you found it. Overall: wonderful experience and perfectly comfortable free campsite for nomads. 

Our Google Maps GPS was giving us issues on the entrance location of this site, since it is tucked away behind neighborhoods, so we relied on the maps and roads to lead us there.

Hidden gem on lake Whitney

Great place for smaller RVs and tent camping. Clean, free, vault toilet. There is a small beach area and campsites are on rocky outcroppings to the water. No electrical, there is drinking water between the sites.

Free camping!

  • Great free campground (Always a plus!)
  • Water facets near most sites.

Most sites a quite private with trees between them. There are 2 bathrooms, and a porta-potty. 2 boat ramps, and pavilions over the picnic tables. Saw some deer, and the camp host goes through a couple of times a day. There are a couple of convince stores just a few miles from the campground. Quiet,even on the weekends when most of the sites are full. I would go there again!
