Sorry no pictures for this campsite. We only spend several hours here on our trip to the Texas State Fair. We were caravaning with two other RVers and wanted to arrive on the Fair Grounds as early as possible. The fair ground RV gates opened at 7:00 a.m., so instead of driving all night we decided to leave Austin early, spend the night outside of Dallas at this State Park and wake up early and take the twenty minute drive to the fair.

We had a few hiccups, but the plan worked well. The only downside was not being able to explore this gigantic state park. We didn't even unhook our RVs, just hooked up power. We arrived right when the gates were closing and left before sunrise. We all had paid reservations and called ahead to report that we were on our way and were going to be close to arriving at closing time. Rather then mess with any paperwork, they just waved us in.

This park has over 300 camping sites and they all have water and electric. There are four sections with about 50-70 spots in each. We stayed in the Lakeview camping area. We were not able to see much of the park or even Joe Pool Lake. However, the RV spot was a decent sized paved and level pad. It had a covered picnic table area down an embankment behind the pad. Each spot was large and had lots of privacy. We couldn't see if our fellow RVers and they had the spots next to us on each side.


I can't give this park a rating since we didn't get to see much of it.
