Westlake Day Use in TX -- Campground & RV Camping

Westlake offers four open-sided day-use pavilions on the western banks of Lewisville Lake, an 30,000-acre reservoir on the Elm Fork of the Trinity River. Built to host groups ranging from 50 to 150 people, the shelters—Bur Oak, Cottonwood, and Green Ash—include large grills, drinking water, nearby restrooms, and select electric hookups. The surrounding grounds feature open fields and shade trees, providing access to the reservoir's open water for jet skiing, boating, and bass fishing.

Getting there: From Dallas, go north on I-35E and take the Swisher Exit (exit 458). Cross over I-35 onto North Denton Drive. Stay on Denton Drive until the Main Street stop sign. Turn left and stay on Main St. until it enters into the park. (2000 Main St., Hickory Creek TX)
