Lake Arrowhead State Park Campground

Our three night stay at Lake Arrowhead State Park in early March was a decompress time at the end of a three week jaunt with our pet cats as first-time traveling companions. The cats loved the roomy campsite - easy to back in, level concrete pads, water/electric as advertised. Patches of mesquite forest separate some sites as well as the camping loops, and a spring carpet of plush grass there was a big hit. The single washroom for over 35 sites means get there early. The park crew worked valiantly, but that facility is heavily used. As for the park itself...its appeal was elusive for us, but fishing and boating enthusiasts were out during our mid-week stay. Recommend as the camping area was excellent. P.S. The ever-working oil pump was a constant distraction while outside, but manageable.

We were just looking for a place to stay while traveling and read the reviews here. We agree with the positive reviews and saw nothing negative. Easy after hours check-in. The bathrooms were clean and warm. We do need to comment this is Texas and the park is in oil country and there is an active well in the campground. It is s steady noise that did not bother us. We’d definitely stay again and would like to stay a full day to see all this park has to offer.

FINALLY, a well-designed campground! After being in so many cg's designed by an idiot who had never camped, it was a pleasure to find a well designed one. The pads are LEVEL concrete mostly laid out in circles making each space easy to back into with lots of privacy with thick undergrowth between. There are a few pull-thrus for the backing challenged. As we were only staying one night, we didn't even have to unhook. Lots of trails to hike on.

Our family stayed here for 2 nights and wished we could've spent another week here! There was so much to do. The sites are level and paved with really nice mowed lawns. Super well maintained trail systems made it convenient to access the lake and other amenities. We loved seeing the wildflowers and butterflies! Would love to stay again in the future!

Very frustrating to use reserve america to register online. Several attempts to enter requested information failed. Finally got the right screens with info to book a site. Driving around the park to find an open site every site was marked R for reserved except one. One site out of 48 was marked A midweek. Go figure. Last year booked a site in New Mexico with reserve america. $160 for a week. Host at the campground could not find my reservation. R A appears to be very flaky. My advice is drive on. This site is near relative on the lake otherwise i would have driven on. So frustrated with the booking process.

Pulled in at 5 pm. The lady said you have to have a reservation on line. Spent 30 mins trying online. Couldn’t get it to work. Lady said let me call a ranger and he can help. Ranger and lady spent about 30 minutes trying to make it work form their site. We took a back in site for our 30 foot 5th wheel, the electric plug in was almost 50 feet from the camper. If everything was ok, it would probably be ok.

Trees are mostly mesquite with long thorns. I rated the park 5 stars on all given criteria but I would not plan on coming back. Looking out our window and going for walks we saw several field mice running across the road from high grass.

I had a car that had all the wires in the engine compartment chewed up by mice. I finally considered it totalled. Mice can easily get into motorhomes and do a lot of damage. Although it is a very nice state park, well maintained, friendly staff, and beautiful lake, it is not worth getting mice.
