Campers arriving at this Army Corps of Engineers campground find themselves at a forested retreat along Bear Creek near Benbrook Lake's shoreline. The seasonal facility operates from April through September, accommodating RVs up to 85 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. Multiple access options allow visitors to arrive by vehicle, boat, or on foot.
Sites spread throughout the wooded terrain provide varying levels of shade and sun exposure. Jacob V. notes the campground has "lots of birds around" and found electricity particularly valuable during triple-digit temperatures. The spacing between sites offers privacy, with campers reporting they can have significant portions of the campground to themselves during certain periods.
Fishing opportunities draw visitors to the lake and creek waters, while boat ramps provide water access for various watercraft. Wildlife sightings occur regularly throughout the property. The facility includes standard amenities like drinking water, restrooms, and allows both campfires and pets. WiFi connectivity helps campers stay connected when needed.
Rates range from $26 to $125 per night with reservations available through the Corps system. The campground works well for RV travelers seeking full hookups in a natural setting, families wanting water access, and anglers targeting the lake's fish populations.
