Possum Kingdom State Park

Possum Kingdom State Park is a massive 1,500 acre state park on the west side of Possum Kingdom Lake. This park was built during the depression era of 1930’s and early 40’s by the Civilian Conservation Corps which work started as a part of the New Deal. You can see many of the hand crafted amenities in the park today.

Possum Kingdom State Park is very popular for camping. With over 100 campsites available, many of which have wonderful lake views, people come from all over Texas to camp in this park. The campgrounds have plenty of trees for shade and many are built on the cliffs and hillsides of the lake.

In addition to camping, there is a nice beach area to use during the day time. Possum Kingdom State Park has many trails for those that are looking to explore the 1,500 acres. And there is plenty of fishing from the bank available within the park.

There is a small marina and store area within the park. The marina offers up kayak and canoe rentals in addition to many other convenience store items.

If you choose not to camp outdoors, there are a handful of cabins to rent that have little porches that look out across the lake. These cabins are in there own area separate from the camping areas. They are very close to the marina store.
