From a distance you may think that our place is like ever other place, but it's not. We pride ourselves on turning this once domesticated property back into it's natural state. With regeneration practices we have added native flowers, medicinal herbs and pollinators where acres of wheat once stood. We have activities for an additional fee such as taking a stroll with our certified master herbalist, pick some edible flowers in our "I Pick You" U-Pic garden, milk a goat, or learn about how we implement regeneration practices just to name a few. There’s no pressure to add these activities so just relax and enjoy nature the way it should be, natural.

The best camping near Lake Arrowhead State Park guide

Overview

About

Located near Wichita Falls, Texas, this compact park is located on the northern shore of the massive 16,000-acre Lake Arrowhead, ideal for swimming, boating, and water skiing. Anglers flock here for the great fishing, with catches including cappie, catfish, bass, and perch. Families with kids particularly like the cute residents of Prairie Dog Town, close to the park’s main campground, where campers can find everything from primitive walk-in sites to RV sites with water hookups and full hookups. The park also offers great bird watching, picnicking, an 18-hole disc golf course, and several miles of mostly flat hiking trails suitable for biking and horseback riding.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Campsites can be booked online or by phone up to five months in advance, so plan ahead for the best chances of getting the site you want.
  2. Opt for a primitive campsite if possible, as they're easier to secure than others.
  3. Visit during the week or in the winter offseason if lake access isn’t a consideration.

When to go

Spring and summer are the most popular times to visit—spring is the best time to see wildflowers and to fish for white crappie (during its spawning period), while the lake feels particularly refreshing during the heat of summer. Look for prairie dog pups in fall. The lake often freezes over between November and March, but the park and campground stay open, making for a more peaceful visit.

Know before you go

  • Lake Arrowhead has no lifeguards.
  • Fishing licenses are not required when fishing within the boundaries of the park, though license requirements must be met if fishing from a boat. Kids under 13 must wear life jackets if fishing from boats.
  • The park provides limited binocular and bird book loaners, but it’s best to bring your own.
  • Visitors should not feed or harass the prairie dogs.
