Granger Recreation Area's Wilson H Fox campground, managed by the Army Corps of Engineers, sits along Granger Lake in central Texas and gives campers direct access to the water for swimming, fishing, and boating. Sites are well-spaced, with some neighbors 75 feet or more apart, and many have views toward the lake. Crappie fishing draws repeat visitors, and the lake sees noticeably less boat traffic than nearby Corps lakes like Belton and Stillhouse Hollow.
One standout feature here is the individual covered pavilion at each site, which provides shade during Texas summers and a place to hang gear. Several sites also include screened-in bunkhouses, a setup rarely found at campgrounds in this price range. The swimming area is a walk from most sites, which is worth factoring in if water access is a priority. Bathroom cleanliness has drawn mixed feedback across reviews, with at least one reviewer noting intermittent flushing issues.
Wilson H Fox accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with 30/50 amp electric and water hookups. No sewer is available at sites, but a dump station is on-site. The campground is open year-round, with nightly rates from $26 to $60. As Michael C. notes, the lake is "kinda remote from gas, food and such," so stocking up before arrival is practical. Other campgrounds near Granger include Taylor and Wolf Creek. Reservations are available and recommended for weekend stays.
Description
Overview
Wilson H. Fox Park attracts a variety of campers looking for a fun-filled escape. In springtime, the campground is a colorful place covered in a blanket of wildflowers. In the hot summer months, there's no place like a lakeside campsite with a swimming beach, fishing dock and two ramps to set sail or paddle out on the lake.
Recreation
Whether it's sailing, swimming or water skiing, visitors have many options for fun out on the water. Fish for catfish, white bass or crappie. Just beyond the park, archery hunting for feral hogs is allowed year-round.
Facilities
All sites have water and electric hookups, a covered picnic table and stand up grill. Two playgrounds, two boat ramps and beach access are also onsite.
Natural Features
The campground is on the shores of Granger Lake, with the gently rolling hills of the Texas Blackland Prairie as a backdrop. Granger Lake is fed by the San Gabriel River and Willis Creek, and was formed in 1980 upon completion of the 16,000 foot long dam.
Nearby Attractions
The Pecan Grove Wildlife Area is just east of Wilson H. Fox and sits below the dam. It provides plenty of opportunities for wildlife spotting, as well as a view above the dam. San Gabriel and Sore Finger Wildlife Areas are also worth a visit.
