Reviews

Wright Patman Lake campgrounds continue to be appreciated for their natural beauty, calming atmosphere, and scenic lake views with abundant wildlife. Campsites are generally spacious and clean, though some have unlevel pads and tall grass. Friendly and helpful staff and volunteers enhance the experience. Visitors enjoy recreational activities like fishing and boating, and value the park's peacefulness and security measures. While many note clean restrooms, limited 50 amp and sewer hookups remain a concern.

The bathrooms & showers closest to our campsite were inside the enclosed shelter which was rented out to a group. So we searched the entire campground and finally found toilets but didn’t realize until the next day that there were showers on the backside of that building. No signage ANYWHERE! No maps were handed out when we checked in. And 2 of the shower rooms did not have working lights. And no lights on the backside of the building with only one light working on the frontside of the building. There was no signage about a burn ban either nor were we told that when we checked in. So there were campers that lit campfires even though the county was under a burn ban.

Keep your options open

Watch for a matching campsite across monitored campgrounds in Wright Patman Lake.

Popularity: Very quiet

Busiest in November, when about 2% of guest capacity is reserved. Based on 5 years of reservations.
