About

Mustang Park is a spacious camping and day-use area managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the south side of Benbrook Lake in north-central Texas. The Bear Creek Campground within Mustang Park provides approximately 100 tent-only, non-electric campsites in a non-site-specific arrangement, allowing campers flexibility in choosing their locations within the campground. The park is situated on the west side of Mustang Creek with wooded creek bottoms and gently sloping shorelines. Mustang offers a unique recreation experience where day-users are not restricted to designated table sites or roadways and may set up anywhere in the park, including right on the shoreline. The adjacent swimming beach is popular with families, and fishing is excellent along the shoreline of Mustang Point. Facilities include restrooms with showers, a trailer dump station, and a large group pavilion with utilities and electric hookup. A boat launch provides water access for boating and fishing. Fort Worth's Cultural and Museum District, Stockyards National Historic District, Botanical Gardens, Zoo, Bass Performance Hall, and downtown Sundance Square are all within a short drive from the campground.
