Fun on the water is the name of the game at this 72-acre lake. Anglers enjoy calm waters to fish for bream and largemouth bass in the no wake lake. The small park even loans out fishing gear, and rents kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards year-round. A fishing license is not required in the park.
If you’re in the mood to stay on dry land, you can hike five miles of trails. The Bosque hiking trail circles the lake and offers scenic overlooks. Lucky birders may spot endangered golden-cheeked warblers, which nest in the park March to July.
The park offers 31 camping spots, spread over several areas. Full hookup sites are pull-through and best for RVs more than 20 feet long. Tent campers can book primitive sites, sites with water and electric or sites with just water. Close proximity to Dallas and Fort Worth makes this park a c

Glamping 101: get that lakefront cabin experience you’ve always pined for at Lakeside, Juniper Ridge, and Crosstimbers campgrounds!

We use the term “primitive” loosely at Shinnery Ridge West campground. Though the nearest restroom is 200 yards (1 mile) away, that just means you’ll really make those bathroom runs count.

All sites are mostly shaded and are equi-dist Read more...
Go home RV-ers (or just go to another campsite in the park) this campground is for tents only! Shinnery Ridge East sites are not as remote as the West group, which could be a positive or a negative in your book. Either way, these sites have the same perks: picnic table, two grills (so you can make 30 s’mores at once, obviously), and a lantern pole Read more...
