Nice park, quiet during the weekdays, pretty busy during the weekend. Boat ramp is nice with plenty of places to park unless a fishing tournament is being held there. Good places to eat in the Belton and Temple area. Waco not too far away to go to the Silos or the Zoo, Dr Pepper Museum or visit the Baylor Bear!

Beautiful park. Our site #9 needed no leveling side to side. For dining out try Dead Fish Grill and Clem Mikeska’s BBQ.

Clean facilities. Clean and well stocked bathrooms. Beautiful lake views. Easy check-in process with passcode provided. Friendly staff. Tori and Gerald were kind and friendly when they stopped by to deliver my parking pass. Let me know they were the park host that weekend and to let them know if I had any questions.

This is a great park close to all the local towns and sites. Great hiking and lake access. Love the fact there on no day use as it keeps the park quite and great place to see wildlife and fish.
