Elevation591 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryLive oak, cedar, and post oak trees shade much of the campground at 591 feet elevation, creating a canopy that varies by site. Whitney Lake spreads across the landscape below, drawing white-tailed deer to graze along the shoreline at dawn and dusk. Songbirds are common. The outer loop sites back up to the water, while inner loop sites sit farther from the shore. Visitors note the scenic beauty repeatedly, even when frustrated by maintenance lapses. The rolling hill country terrain means some pads sit unevenly, and tree branches can scrape taller campers.

Lodging & AccommodationsNo hotel-style or alternative accommodations are available on-site.

Programs & ActivitiesNo cultural or educational programs are mentioned.
