Lake Whitney State Park
RV Guide

In the northern section of the park off of Park Road 1244, the Horseshoe Campground has 43 campsites with full hookups and eight with just water. The parking pads allow for RVs up to 115 feet in length. However, these lengths vary so it is important to check this when reserving your site. Reservations can be made up to five months in advance.

Each of the sites has a picnic table and fire ring with a grill to cook on, and there are hot showers and restrooms nearby. The kids will really enjoy the playground in the center of the campground, and you will love how near it is to your camp. The lake is incredibly close, so you only have to walk a few feet to toss in a line or do some swimming. Pets are welcome as long as they are restrained and supervised at all times during your stay.

Just off park road 47, the White-Tail Campground has 18 campsites with just water. This campground has parking pads to accommodate rigs up to 35 feet, so it is a bit smaller than the others. However, they each still have a fire ring and picnic table as well as a large cleared space to sit around the fire.

There is a comfort station nearby that has restrooms with running water, hot showers, and there is a fish cleaning station nearby as well. This campground is the closest to the swimming area, which is in the day-use area just a short walk away. You can bring your dog to camp with you, but they are not allowed on the beach. Reservations are needed and can be made up to five months in advance.

With 18 spacious campsites that have water hookups, the Star View Campground is a small one that can only handle rigs up to 37 feet in length. The sites are all right on the waterfront and many are shaded or have a cabana over the picnic tables and campfire ring. There is also plenty of space to sit around the campfire and roast hotdogs or make s’mores.

In addition, there is a large playground for the kids nearby and an ADA-accessible shower house and restroom with flushing toilets. Reservations can be made up to five months in advance and you can bring your furbaby. Just make sure he is supervised and restrained during your stay. Bring your fishing gear and swimsuit too since these sites are so close to the water.

Twelve cozy campsites are waiting for you in the middle of all the other campgrounds at Blue Bird Campground. These spots are a bit larger with some of the campsites even able to handle motorhomes up to 69 feet in length. These are some of the most popular because they have 50-amp electric, water hookups, covered picnic tables, and campfire rings with grills.

Fido can join you too, as long as he is supervised and leashed at all times while you are visiting. Reservations are required. You can book a spot up to five months prior to your planned visit. All sites are right on the water so you will be close to fishing, boating, and swimming. In addition, the park provides an ADA-accessible shower house and restroom nearby.

The Road Runner Campground boasts 11 shaded sites with level gravel parking spurs that can accommodate rigs from 32 to 57 feet in length. Each of these roomy spaces has a fire pit with a grill and a covered picnic table that seats eight, so you don’t have to balance your food in your lap. Dogs and cats are welcome as long as they are accompanied and restrained at all times while you are there.

The comfort station nearby has ADA-accessible restrooms and showers with hot water. The lake is close enough to see from your RV and, in most cases, you just have to walk a few feet to toss in a line or cool off in the water. Reservations can (and should) be made up to five months prior to your visit.

If you want to be close to the water, Lake View Campground is a good choice. Sites can accommodate RVs up to 35 feet in length, but they vary, so check this when booking your site. All 20 of their pet-friendly sites are close enough to the water that you don’t have to leave your campsite to go fishing or drop in your kayak or canoe. You can even let the kids cool off from the Texas summer heat without having to go to the beach.

Although these sites only have water, you are allowed to use your generator if needed. But please shut them off during quiet hours from 10 PM until 6 AM. Each site has a covered picnic table and fire pit with a grill, and there are ADA-accessible restrooms and showers nearby. You can make a reservation up to five months before your planned vacation. Book early if you plan on coming on a weekend or holiday.

With only seven campsites, Sunset Ridge is the smallest campground in the park. All sites are extremely large with parking spurs that can handle rigs from 65 to 107 feet in length. Each site also has water and 50-amp electric hookups. You will also be able to cook outside on the campfire grill and eat at the picnic table, so you don’t have to try to eat in a camp chair.

Four of the seven sites are waterfront while the other three are just across from the water. You won’t have to go far to get to the lakeshore for a swim or fishing trip. Nearby, you can find restrooms and hot showers that are ADA-accessible and the Towash Forest Trail. Take a hike or bike ride with the kids before dinner. Fluffy is allowed to join you but must be on a leash at all times.

If you are rolling with a group larger than eight people, you may want to think about reserving the Post Oak Group Campground, which can accommodate up to 64 people. The camp is just to the north of the Star View Campground and has eight screened shelters that are about 12 by 18 feet. Each of these has a picnic table inside the shelter and a fire pit and barbecue grill outside the shelter.

A comfort center with modern restrooms and hot showers is located a quarter of a mile from the camp. The parking lot has enough room for 30 vehicles, and you will have to leave your rig in the lot to camp with everyone else. You can bring your furbaby though. However, do not forget to bring a leash because pets have to be restrained and supervised at all times. Reservations can be made up to 12 months in advance.

For those groups who do not want to camp outdoors, you can reserve the group hall, which can also handle groups of up to 64 people. However, the overnight accommodations are only for 30 people. Others can use tents or their RV, which can be parked in the lot. The hall is ADA-accessible and there is an ADA parking spot right by the door. Right outside the front door, you will find the Two Bridges Trail and the lake. You can take a hike and go fishing, swimming, or boating without having to leave the area.

This is basically one giant room that serves as a sleeping area as well as a living space and dining room. There are no beds or bedrooms. However, there is a stove, microwave, sink, and restrooms as well as tables and chairs for 64 people. They even have a projection screen in case you want to stream a movie. Pets are not allowed, and reservations can be made up to a year in advance.

If you want to spend a night or two indoors at Lake Whitney State Park, reserve one of the two cabins in the southwestern corner of the park. Each cabin can sleep you and seven other guests with two sets of bunk beds as well as room for cots inside and tents outside. Air conditioning and heating is provided as are a table and chairs.

Outside, you can find a large yard big enough for several tents with a picnic table, fire pit, and a lantern post. The kids will love the playground nearby and you will love being so close to the lake. Pets are not allowed, and reservations can be made up to five months prior to your visit. A water spigot is located just outside, and there is a comfort station nearby with showers and restrooms.
