I wasn't sure what to expect but was really happy. We got to the waterpark/campground around 5pm on a friday so the place wasn't too packed and they didn't charge us to use the pool that day. The staff, esspecially Sherwood who has big plans for the poace, were all super friendly, helpful and told us to pretty much camp anywhere that you could park. We had the whole place to ourselves that night and my boys and friends got to run around playing tag in the dark which they loved. The next morning we were able to pick out the best spots on the lake for the day and had a blast. Just know that apparently during the off season they let you make a campfire but during the pool season they don't. We were there the first week of season and they made an exception so if campfires are important, you might want to double check with them before hand. Other than that, I'd absolutely recomend camping here.

I was there the day before they officially opened and there was only a high school graduating class there. Got to spend the afternoon enjoying this beautiful, spring fed lake, complete with slides, fountains, diving boards (of all heights), and snack bar (they make an awesome cheeseburger!). Once they cleared out, I had the place to myself. Owners were very accommodating. Even though they don’t really offer space with power, they found me a plug to charge my Jackery. They also offered tips on what not to miss at the Stockyards. The camping area is grassy, level and very shady with tons of large pecan trees that were planted by original owners. The facility was very clean, hosts were friendly and it is truly a magical place to stay! It’s only about 15 minutes from the Stockyards, so very convenient if you’re planning to visit there. I was just passing through, but would definitely love to come back sometime! I am a single female, traveling alone and felt extremely safe. Don’t forget to hit the artisan well to fill up your water jugs on the way out!

The hosts were very friendly. Super cool to stay in this nearly 100 year-old waterpark. Especially only being 5 miles from the stockyards. Would definitely recommend.

Interesting location within a summer waterpark (closed during our stay). Quiet, lots of space, clean restrooms. Would stay again if passing through.

I wasn’t able to stay because of personal things happening. But Sherwood was so great with communication and was kind enough to understand!

Super cool and unique. It is a well maintained, old school water park built on a small lake. Water park was closed for the off season but it was still an awesome to camp 15 minutes from Fortworth Stockyards. Helpful & generous hosts.

This place is so cool. Hidden gem. It is a well maintained old school water park built on a lake. I visiting during the off season when the park was closed and lake drained. But it was still such a unique place super close to Fort Worth Stockyards. My stay was an excellent experience with helpful and respectful hosts. I will definitely be back.

Nice quiet place to land after working in Ft. Worth over the weekend. Easy 20 min. drive into downtown Ft. Worth. We will be back next time we're in town!

I’ve been coming to burgers lake since I was a kid so when I saw I could camp here, I had to try it. The lake looks crazy when it’s drained, kinda sad I couldn’t do a cold plunge but it was super cool to have the whole park to ourselves. I totally recommend it to anyone passing through Fort Worth.
