About

Lake McClellan Campground is situated at 3,500 feet elevation within the 1,449-acre McClellan Creek National Grassland in Gray County, Texas. Managed by the US Forest Service, this developed campground features 60 camping units with options for both primitive camping and sites with electric and water hookups. The facility includes restrooms, potable water, and picnic tables at each site. The campground provides access to hiking trails, road cycling, and designated ATV trails. Lake McClellan itself is a reservoir on McClellan Creek that is prone to seasonal drying due to drought conditions. The lake has gone dry several times since 2000, so visitors should call ahead for current water levels. Located just 3 miles north of Interstate 40 at exit 128, the campground is easily accessible for RVers and travelers. The area operates on a first-come, first-served basis with reasonable fees for day use and overnight camping. ATV use is permitted on designated trails but not within the campground itself.
