Waxahachie Creek Park

No matter what type of outdoor activity you prefer, an abundance of options await when you book an RV in Ellis County, Texas. When you do some RV camping at Waxahachie Creek Park overnight, the lake and park’s day-use area are also wonderful places to enjoy water sports, roam the landscape, or kick back and relax in the fresh air. Boating, fishing, and swimming are just a few of the recreational opportunities available at Bardwell Lake, which is a refreshing oasis a few miles southwest of the city of Ennis, just off of State Highway 34. Fans of boating will be able to take advantage of the park’s boat ramp and boat trailer parking. The boat ramp at the lower end of the park is ideal for ski boats or other types of vessels. The Bardwell Lake marina has fishing docks and piers, including two that are enclosed. Anglers will find that this lake has favorable fishing opportunities. Bring fishing equipment in your campervan rental, cast a line for bass, crappie, and catfish, and see what catches your bait. There are also fish cleaning stations available here. Equestrians planning to rent a camper near Waxahachie Creek Park will find it is an excellent place for horseback riders, thanks to the facility's stalls, corrals, and staging areas. There are more than 13 miles of trails shared by equestrians, hikers, and bicyclists, so definitely bring boots and bikes when you camp here. Just keep in mind this multi-use trail system is part of several designated hunting areas around the lake, typically during the season of September through March. Don’t forget to pack binoculars and cameras in your travel trailer. This is a great place to catch a glimpse of local wildlife, including the rabbits, deer, armadillos, and other creatures that inhabit this area. Camping here in spring is the perfect time to snap pics of wildflowers, like the bluebonnets that surround the shore of Bardwell Lake and are located on the 40-mile drive of the "Official Bluebonnet Trail of Texas."
