About

Copperas Creek Park is a well-maintained Corps of Engineers campground situated on the southwestern shore of Proctor Lake in the scenic Cross Timbers Region of Texas. The park offers 66 campsites ranging from standard 30-amp electric sites to premium 50-amp sites with full hookups including sewer. Sites feature large, open grassy areas with Cottonwoods, Black Willow, and Cypress trees providing shade, along with plentiful lake views. The campground includes four restroom/shower facilities, two group shelters, two boat ramps for easy lake access, and two fishing piers. A separate day-use area features 12 picnic sites, a swim beach, a deep-water fishing platform located near the Proctor Lake dam, and an additional boat ramp. All sites include picnic tables and fire pits for campfires. Proctor Lake is a premier fishing destination, offering tremendous populations of Largemouth Bass, Crappie, and Catfish. The lake is particularly recognized as one of the best Hybrid Striped Bass fishing areas in Texas. For hikers and equestrians, nearby High Point Park offers more than 10 miles of trails. The surrounding towns of Comanche, De Leon, and Dublin provide access to historical attractions, antique stores, museums, and local events. Reservations are available through Recreation.gov.
