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 campground is really nice and well maintained. The trees are trimmed and the bathrooms are clean. Some sites are not very level and need some aggressive blocks to get level. E08 was a great shady spot nestled in the trees with a very level pad. So close to home and a great place for a quiet relaxing weekend getaway.

The location was excellent, exactly what we were looking for! Sites (in 'C' Row), were well spaced apart and sites were paved. Only downcheck was that there weren't sewer hookups at the site, but there was a dump station near the enterence to the park

Friendly staff, dozens of deer grazing about every day, shady and quiet
Popularity: Very quiet

Busiest in August, when about 6% of guest capacity is reserved. Based on 11 years of reservations.
