Rented the covered shelter at McCown Park Whitney. They grass was really tall and I ended up eaten up with chiggers because of it. I went by prior to our date and saw the grass already tall. I spoke to a Park Ranger about it. He told me I could bring a push mower and mow it and they wouldn't be mad at me!! I am 69 years old ! I told them that I paid a good size fee to use that area and it should be mowed when someone has it rented. Instead.... all we got was chigger bites. Also lots of wasp nests under the shelter. Bathroom were anything but clean and we arrived at 9:30am so it's unlikely someone messed it all up that early in the morning. I was quite disappointed. I rent the shelter often but will think twice now as it seems there is not one person who cares. OH also I bought a pass at Mccown. Waited to try to find someone to get me that placard. Finally found someone who said I have to go across the lake to the dam area office. I did. It is a long drive but I did it. WHY would you not just put a machine at the office so you can buy it there and get your placard all in one place? It's insanity. Sorry to give such negative feedback but it is my honest experience

Rented the group pavilion for a youth group outing. Before the trip I had questions and tried to reach out to the park, this was a little more difficult than what I would have preferred as no one would answer the phone. However, after leaving a message and waiting a couple of days a very nice park ranger called me back and answered all my questions. Once we got to the park, I was more than pleased with the cleanliness of the grounds and the park employee that checked on us. Will definitely be booking this site again next year!

The best equestrian camping area in north Texas. Spacious and shady camping sites with water and electricity. Excellent equestrian trails with miles of interesting sandy trails.
