Campground Overview
About Possum Kingdom State Park
What sets Possum Kingdom State Park’s campground apart is its seamless blend of lakefront recreation and historical charm, offering campers stunning lakeside views, abundant water activities, and a peaceful natural setting. Located in Caddo, Texas, and nestled along the clear, blue waters of Possum Kingdom Lake, this 1,500-acre park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a diverse mix of amenities and scenic beauty.
Campers can choose from over 100 sites, ranging from primitive walk-in spots to well-equipped sites with water and electric hookups, many offering direct views of the lake. The campgrounds are thoughtfully designed, featuring picnic tables, fire rings, grills, and clean restrooms with showers nearby. For those seeking more comfort, the park's six air-conditioned cabins provide a cozy alternative, complete with lake views and proximity to the marina. Activities abound with swimming at the sandy beach, boating from the convenient launch ramps, or fishing for bass and catfish at the shoreline or fishing pier.
Just a short trip from Caddo, the park is surrounded by the rugged landscapes of the Palo Pinto Mountains. On-site hiking trails let visitors explore limestone ridges and prairie wildflowers, while the lake’s 300 miles of shoreline offer endless opportunities for kayaking, scuba diving, and wildlife spotting. With its combination of tranquil campsites, recreational variety, and the historical influence of the Civilian Conservation Corps, Possum Kingdom State Park is a prime destination for family getaways, watersport adventures, or quiet weekends immersed in Texas' natural splendor.
