The best camping in Possum Kingdom State Park, TX guide

Overview

About

This popular state park just an hour west of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area centers on the clear, blue waters of Possum Kingdom Lake, with its 300 miles of shoreline. While the on-land activity menu includes hiking, biking, picnicking, and geocaching, the real appeal is the water. Fish for largemouth, striped, or white bass from a boat or fishing pier, or beat the Texas heat with some swimming or water skiing. Scuba divers will find one of the state’s oldest inland diving destinations—a popular spot for scavenging items dropped in the water.  

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for fishing: The Spanish Oaks Campground has a fishing pier and fish cleaning station.
  • Best for boating: You’ll find the park’s boat ramp near the Lakeview Camping Area.
  • Best for families: The Chaparral Trail Camping Area has a playground and lake access, perfect for families with kids.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. You can reserve any of the 29 electricity sites, 53 campsites with water, or 10 primitive, walk-in campsites on the Texas State Parks website. 
  2. You can book sites up to five months in advance. Book early for weekend trips, especially during summer.

When to go

Possum Kingdom State Park is a popular spot to cool off during the hot Texas summers, particularly on weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Come in the fall or spring months to take advantage of cooler temperatures for hiking and biking. Many campsites close during the winter months.

Know before you go

  • Public consumption of alcohol is not permitted anywhere within the state park.
