Reviews

Waco Lake campgrounds are praised for their beautiful scenic lake views, spacious and well-maintained sites, and friendly, helpful staff. Visitors enjoy the peaceful, quiet atmosphere with abundant wildlife and convenient access to Waco attractions. Facilities are generally clean, although restrooms and showers frequently require maintenance and updates. Common issues include inconsistent grass and grounds upkeep, noise from nearby highways and airports, early gate closing times, and some challenges with dump stations and access roads.

This park is close to everything in the Waco area. It was nice and quiet at my campsite with a great view of the lake. I saw lots of deer wandering through the campground both morning and evening. A very nice smaller campground.
