The best camping near Choke Canyon State Park guide

Overview

About

You might think fishing and boating rule at this Texas state park. You'd be right. Cast your line from the shore or a boat to catch largemouth bass and catfish.

Pick from hundreds of secluded inlets or coves to find your perfect fishing spot. Return to your campsite at sunset for a hearty dinner of fish filets and hushpuppies.

Be aware that fish aren't the only creatures in the water. This lake marks the farthest west that American alligators live in their natural habitat. Don't worry too much, because alligators usually avoid humans and stay away from boats.

Pack your binoculars, because birding is popular here. Head to the South Shore unit for special birdwatching trails that wind around the park. Listen for bird calls as they talk to each other or to you. Songbirds and migratory birds make homes near the reservoir.

Reserve one of 20 cabins for glamping in air-conditioned comfort. Forty campsites have electricity, while 16 walk-in tent sites have water.

Notable campgrounds

  • Calliham Unit Campsites - Full-service sites with water and electricity, ideal for a comfortable stay.
