Located halfway between Waco and Rusk in the eastern part of the state, Fairfield Lake State Park’s tree-lined landscape and fish-filled lake make it one of the best places in East Texas to go camping with an RV. Many different types of fish inhabit the 2,400-acre lake, and a wide variety of other types of animals call Fairfield Lake State Park home, too. Located just a few miles outside of town, fans of hiking, horseback riding, and swimming will have all they need at the park.

Beautiful, sturdy hardwood trees are plentiful for Fairfield campers, with various types of oak, hickory, and cedar making up the terrain. Colorful wildflowers of all shapes and sizes are scattered around the park, something that assuredly caught the eyes of the Native Americans who first hunted and fished in the waterways when they inhabited this part of Texas. After being acquired by lease in 1971, Fairfield State Park was officially opened up to the public in 1976. Since then, hikers, fishers, horseback riders, and boaters have grown to love the park. They even love the spooky Chancellor Union Cemetery there, which is the final resting place of many veterans from WWI, WWII, and the Civil War.

Getting Outdoors

If you’re a fan of water activities, camping at Fairfield Lake State Park is going to be something you’ll want to do again and again. Campers from all over Texas and beyond come to the park’s lake every year to fish, jet ski, kayak, and more. If you aren’t able to fit your own kayak in your RV rental, fret not! While the state park allows you to bring your own boat to fish for the lake’s bass, perch, and catfish, you can also rent a kayak or a paddleboard from park officials. If you’d rather stay on land, many Fairfield Lake State Park campers enjoy fishing right off the pier, while others prefer to just relax on the park’s beautiful sandy shore.

If you brought your horse along with you to the park, you’re in luck! With many miles of dedicated equestrian trails for horseback riders to enjoy the scenery on, camping at Fairfield Lake State Park is one of your best bets for exploring the area’s lush scenery and gorgeous views. While many trails are available for horseback riders of all skill levels, it’s always a good idea to check out the park’s official website before you arrive to make sure that there aren’t any alerts or trail closures.

While many trails are filled with horseback riders, hikers and bird watchers can also explore the 15-mile trail network at Fairfield Lake State Park. Many campers prefer to book an RV in Freestone County and have a little more comfort, but others hike deep into the park’s forest on the well-maintained trails for a more remote and tranquil experience.
