Overview

Preston Bend Campground is located on Lake Texoma, in the Cross Timbers region of Texas. The lake is said to be the "Playground of the Southwest," where outdoor activities like fishing, boating, hiking and hunting abound.

Recreation

Lake Texoma is a large reservoir with an excellent fishery and many access points. Boating, swimming, water skiing, hunting, birding and relaxing on the sandy beaches are the typical pursuits of most visitors.

The lake is known as the "Striper Capital of the World," one of the few reservoirs in the nation where striped bass reproduce naturally. Other popular species include largemouth and smallmouth bass, white bass, hybrid striped bass, white crappie, black crappie, channel catfish and blue catfish.

Also available is the scenic Cross Timbers hiking trail, a very popular trail that winds for 14 miles above the lake on rocky ledges and through blackjack woodland. Forty miles of equestrian trails surround the lake as well.

Facilities

This small but popular campground offers 22 campsites with electrical and water hookups, and 12 basic sites without hookups. Other amenities include flush and vault toilets, showers and drinking water. A dump station, boat ramp and dock are located on-site. Many resorts and marinas are nearby on the Preston Peninsula.

Natural Features

The campground is situated on the Texas side of Lake Texoma. Post and blackjack oaks forest the rolling hills of the region. Deer, turkeys, bobcats, hawks, waterfowl and songbirds are abundant around the lake.

I like the concrete pads for my trailer. The park is well maintained although the asphalt on the main road in is starting to deteriorate in places. The water system appears to have some rust, but my Campco water filter cleared it up and there was no strange taste. The boat ramp is at a good angle for launching my pontoon boat.

Spot was nice and easy access to the lake but there were so many ants that just completely took over our camper. We even took precautions by putting ant killer around our contact points and they still came in. Lot of people told me there were a lot of ants at this campground and they were problematic ... And were they ever!!

Excellent spot for me with a boat and slide in camper. Only thing better would have been a close place to beach my boat, however I would not have been able to recharge my batteries.

The site was nice and clean. I love the area that I camped at. Had an issue with the water spigot that was not resolved.
