From a lake rich with fish to a sky stocked with stars, Possum Kingdom is a hidden gem that highlights the Texas landscape. Several campgrounds around the lake offer visitors and residents a chance to encounter the beauty of the wilderness from the comfort of a tent or cabin. So whether you’re looking for a primitive camping experience or a modern glamping excursion, there are campgrounds at Possum Kingdom for every preference.

Possum Kingdom State Park

Possum Kingdom State Park is the gold standard for camping at PK. On the lake’s western edge, PK State Park offers adventure on the land and water, and the park boasts more than 100 campsites! Many sites are on the water and provide quick and easy access to swim, ski, boat, snorkel, and dive in the clear waters. Whether from the boat or shore, fishing on PK is one of Texas’s best, and the grounds include a boat launch, fishing pier, and fish cleaning station.

Cabins are equipped with air conditioning, and visitors can choose from primitive sites, sites with water access, and sites with both water and electricity. The Park Store is the best place to rent kayaks, boats, and paddle boats, and it also sells souvenirs, t-shirts, and supplies for fishing and camping. For children, Possum Kingdom State Park, along with Texas Parks & Wildlife, hosts a Junior Ranger program where kids are encouraged to partake in outdoor activities and earn badges for completing tasks.

Rock Creek Camp & RV Resort

Rock Creek is one of Possum Kingdom’s best camping sites for RVs, and it’s the same place Jo Lynn fell in love with the lake. The campground, northeast of the lake, is just off Highway 16 and is a short walk, drive, or boat ride to local favorites like the PK Ice House and Boondocks Bar and Grill. There are 16 cabins available for rent on the premises, and each one is outfitted with air conditioning, kitchenettes, TVs, coffee makers, showers, picnic tables, and charcoal grills. Cabins vary in size and price, starting at $200, and some come equipped with full kitchens. Rock Creek accepts reservations and bookings by credit card only.

Along with cabins and RV spots, a reunion hall is available for family celebrations, retreats, or any other reason to get together. Additionally, the hall comes with a full kitchen, bathroom, television, heating, and air conditioning and can accommodate up to 100 people.

Camp Grady Spruce

Finally, Camp Grady Spruce is a YMCA summer camp on the southern end of Possum Kingdom that aims to instill integrity, leadership, and stewardship in children. Although co-ed, the camp offers separate summer sessions for boys and girls on an oxbow peninsula across from PK’s local monument: Hell’s Gate. As kids and teens discover an appreciation for nature, hiking trails will teach them about flora and fauna, canoe trips will explain how stratification affects the region, and team-building exercises will strengthen the values of trust and friendship. Campers will enjoy outdoor pursuits like fishing, fire building, and horseback riding, but they will also learn about their interactions with the environment through conservation projects. But it’s not all work and no play, as campers will enjoy themes surrounding superheroes, myths, legends, zombies, and the Wild West. Camp sessions begin in June and run through July.

The campgrounds at Possum Kingdom offer diverse camping experiences for adults and children. So when you want to slow down the hectic pace of life, take a moment to enjoy the majesty of the lake and the great outdoors on full display.
