Black Creek Lake Recreation Area Campground

Very peaceful

We stayed in our campervan one night while driving through Texas. It took about 15-20 minutes to get to the campground from 287. You need to fill up on gas/diesel right off of 287 as there are no stations on the way to the campground. It was a good place for us to stay the night - got up early to get through Dallas in the morning.

We parked in the gravel lot as the sites are more for tents than RVs or Vans. The gravel lot just before the tent sites is the only level place. There is plenty of room but just know that the spots are not marked there. A camper there said he sees people park there often with no problem. We had an easy time parking there.

It is a quiet and friendly place, a nice lake, a few families fishing and kayaking. $10 cash fee for the night + $2 day fee. Great place to sleep away from the highway for the night.

We had gps getting there (fortunately!) but had trouble connecting Verizon phone on the way out.
