    We are here now camping and this is one of our top favorite places to camp!! Check in is a breeze unless it's super packed which it was yesterday and it took like 20 mins to just get inside but after checking in, its mind your business season. We had a survivalist Alfonso solis come out who works off Donations and he taught like a 3 hour class that was fantastic! Can't wait to book him again for our private camping. We were camping today with a charter school of 7th graders!!!

    Had a Saturday off from work, which is rare. In addition, my usual weekend chores and errands were take care of. This means I had no excuse in not participating in the Sunrise Hike and the Penn Farm Tour. Will and his volunteer were great in talking up the state park on our different hikes. They were both a great source of information and answered all my questions. I appreciated their tolerance of my quirky sense of humor. In between the two hikes, I drove around to parts of the park I had never seen before. The last time I was out here, there was a lot of construction going on and parts of the park were closed to the public. Since the construction finished, there is a huge new day use area on what seems like the west side of the park. (I'm horrible with directions. Seems like the west side. Ha!) Take advantage of the various events scheduled at this park. You will be glad to have done so.

    Lakeview Camping Area has full hook ups. There are several lots that actually have a view of the lake like slots 203, 205, 207...

    We have been to 36 of the 89 TX State Parks and this is one of our favorites. Clean lots and restroom facilities lend to a positive experience out at Joe Pool Lake. It's about 40 miles from downtown Dallas, so it's close enough to spend a weekend camping and return home feeling relaxed, having made fun memories and taking pictures. The price can't be beat especially if you have a State Park Pass which saves you money on entrance and even souvenirs.

    A part of the trail without as deep of ruts and some parts.

    Came out to hike the Dora short trail but it was so badly rutted from mountain bikes it was very difficult to walk. Also the bikes approach quickly forcing walkers to step into the brush to avoid getting hit. I was so glad when we were finished with this trail and won't be going back

    Fantastic park convenient to most in the DFW area. A well developed man made lake, lots of natural trails with some challenging grades, and a variety of camping spots for RVs & tents. Lots of North Texas wildlife within the park. Lots of fairly close stores to pick up forgotten supplies outside of the park. My last trip was to support an open water swim and bike event. The large parking lot and asphalt roads were perfect for the event.

    This is a state park meaning you have to pay to get in. There is a $7 fee to enter the pass and they typically sell out by 2:30pm. Try to get your entry pass online and you can order them months in advance. You can also purchase an annual texas state park pass for $70 so you and your family can enter any state park without getting charged entry fees. You can easily spend your whole day here with your whole family. You can go hiking, fishing, biking, kayaking, boating, camping and bbq-ing. Its an awesome state park and the hiking trails are really fun. I'd love to come camping here one day because the lake that's in the park is beautiful. I went hiking on a hot July day and had a great time with my 2 friends. We did get lost so we had to turn back around from the duck pond trail (8 mile) because the path was obstructed by overgrown bushes. Overall I'm coming back in the fall when it's cooler! This is an awesome place even for kids!

    Took my son here this weekend for his fist camping trip. The grounds keepers were very nice. The camp site was very clean upon arriving here. They have hookups for RV's on the sites. The lake was beautiful and everything was well kept. The camp site has decent shade and they were a nice size. I recommend this State Park.

    Any RV spot is GOOD!  some are not leveled so choose carefully based on your needs.

    This is a great park. its close to Fort Worth/Dallas and surrounding areas. ALOT of wildlife around so don't fear the sounds in the night. THE GOOD: There are some GREAT camping/RV areas here you can rent. The staff is very friendly. The lake is LARGE and beautifull. and all other campers are FUN to talk too - specially the drunk ones with no shirts that are walking around! LOL! - nothing to fear, extremely friendly set of folks! THE BAD: really bad Ant and Chigger problem and seems this has been going on for years. glad they allow dust to spread around your camp site. They don't empty their dumpsters frequently during holidays so the trash is all over the place. They Plumbing seems to be bad in ALL the rest rooms. They don't flush. You will be greeted with some LOGS in the toilets most of the time. Woman's restrooms are down to one stall 99% of the time. the Showers just feel nasty - and all the times I have showered there they clog up. I still recommend this place to everyone. its a much needed get-a-way in a wold the is run by Technology!

    Cedar Hill State Park is an AOK desination when you're interested in biking or camping. It's got a really convenient location, but also several drawbacks: - The campsite pads aren't maintained - The recycle bin looks like it hasn't been emptied in close to a year - The roads are poorly maintained. Apart from the above, it's a fairly nice park, but it's very much in need of work and attention.

    If you are looking for close get-away to get in touch with nature, then this is the place to go. Beautiful sunsets over looking Joe Pool Lake. They have trails and clean facilities that are close by. I recommend!!

    beautiful view

    this is a great spot. they charged $7 to park for the day kinda annoying. should be free. lovely views & plenty of excess parking available. would recommend stopping by.
