Elevation505 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryNative ash and juniper trees shade the campground, filtering sunlight across sites with views of Waco Lake. The lake's rocky shoreline and steep banks preserve a wild character but make water access challenging in most areas. Wildlife appears frequently: over 130 bird species use the nearby Waco Lake Wetlands, and campers regularly spot animals around their sites. The elevation sits at 505 feet, where lake breezes cool the campground during warmer months.
