The park offers 74 campsites across two main loops. The Spring Point Camping Loop features 16 full hookup sites with water, sewer, and 30/50 amp electric, plus 16 additional sites with water and electric only. The White Deer Reach Camping Loop has 44 sites with water and 30 amp electric. Pull-through sites accommodate rigs up to 95 feet, while back-in sites handle up to 59 feet. All sites include a picnic table, fire ring, and lantern post. Facilities include restrooms with hot showers, a dump station, and the Lake Tawakoni Trading Post selling ice, firewood, snacks, and fishing supplies. Kayak rentals are available at a self-service kiosk, and the park headquarters offers loaner fishing gear.
