Hackberry Pavilion in TX -- Campground & RV Camping

Hackberry Pavilion sits inside Avalon Park on the southern shore of the 21,400-acre Lavon Lake in northern Texas. Designed for large day-use events, the site centers around a single picnic pavilion built to accommodate up to 500 visitors alongside a sandy swimming beach. Anglers fish the lake for largemouth bass, white bass, blue catfish, and crappie. The area is shaded by native hackberry trees, and the multi-use Trinity Trail runs nearby for hiking and horseback riding.
