It depends on what you're looking for. For Families: Book the full-hookup or water/electric sites — they sit near the camping-area restrooms and the lake, and they go fastest. For Privacy: The water-only sites in the Catfish Cove and Mesquite areas spread out more and offer a quieter, more natural setting. For RVs: Reserve the full-hookup sites first (water, electric, and sewer); the water/electric loop is the next-best option for rigs.
Essentials: tent or RV (depending on site type), sleeping bags, cooler with ice, firewood (can't collect wood in most Texas parks), sunscreen, bug spray, water bottles, and headlamps. Bring insect repellent — mosquitoes are aggressive near the lake
October through May. Summer is very hot but the pool helps. Spring fishing season draws anglers.
