Overview

About

Dive into the heart of Texas on your next camping adventure near McClellan Creek National Grassland. This lesser-known gem, enveloping the serene Lake McClellan, is a perfect launching point for many nearby activities, whether you're an angler, hiker, or ATV rider. Lake McClellan's waters teem with channel catfish, bluegill, and largemouth bass. With two boat ramps available, anglers can easily access the lake, while the northern ramp is exclusively reserved for their use. If you prefer the shoreline, the reservoir's entire perimeter welcomes you. The spring and fall seasons, with their milder temperatures, are particularly ideal for casting a line. For campers who prefer land-based adventures, the grassland, though spanning just about 1,500 acres, offers scenic hikes that weave through the woodlands surrounding Lake McClellan. A leisurely walk around the lake's shores, under the canopy's shade, is a refreshing experience. However, if you're visiting during the scorching Texas summer, it's wise to start early and stay hydrated. ATV enthusiasts will find the trails near the main campground at Lake McClellan exhilarating. While they might be short, these trails boast steep ascents and tight, winding turns, offering a thrilling ride even for seasoned riders. But remember, the Texas sun can be relentless, especially in summer, so come prepared. Camping near McClellan Creek National Grassland is an invitation to experience nature's bounty. So, pack your gear, and let this grassland be your next escape.
