The Moccasin Track and Broken Bow camping areas lie on two adjacent, densely wooded loops.

Like we said before, Lake Bob (unlike creepy Uncle Bob) is nothing if not friendly and accommodating, and these sites reflect that: water, electric, fire pit, lantern hooks, and picnic tables (some under shelter) are all included. For a little extra cash, you can upgrade to a screened shelter or even all the way up to a cottage with A/C and bunk beds. Supposedly, the incredibly helpful rangers will even bring you free firewood, though a donation is suggested. Lake Bob is always looking out for you; you’re still on your own with Uncle Bob.

Great tent sites and clean restrooms and showers! The park is a little small but a good spot for fishing and R&R that is 2 hours from DFW!

This is an idyllic camp spot. Broken Bow has 8 waterfront campsites which are highly recommended for watching the sun do its thing. The interior loop is tucked in the whistling pines. All of the campsites are super private and spacious. Nearby at the swim area you'll find a floating dock which is perfect for sunbathing and cannonballs.

Your guide to camping in Broken Bow Campground

Overview

Biking

While the mountain biking trails are short, they’re ranked at an intermediate level, so you’re guaranteed to get your thrills! The 4.5-mile trail passes through dense forest and near two ponds, which makes the quick-and-dirty trail quite scenic as well. And when you’re done riding in the Texas heat? Jump right into Lake Bob Sandlin.

Boating

Lake Bob Sandlin measures in at 9,000 acres, which means there’s plenty of space to water ski, cruise, or chill out under the sun. We even hear there’s a party cove, so bring your friends along for a weekend of summer fun.

Fishing

Cast a line in Lake Bob Sandlin for a chance to catch largemouth bass, white bass, crappie, sunfish, and catfish. The included boat ramp and fishing pier are ideal for those who want to either fish from a boat or right from the shoreline. There’s even a cleaning station to use after a long day of fishing.

Hiking

The 4.5-mile multiuse trail within Lake Bob Sandlin State Park is perfect for a tough hike in the woods. The intermediate trail winds through lush, green forests and even has a few primitive campsites for an overnight backpacking trip. Find the trailhead near the main parking area by the lake!

Paddling

There’s no better way to spend those long summer days than canoeing through the cool waters of Lake Bob Sandlin. The 9,000-acre lake has plenty of room to paddle open water, but you can surely stick to the vegetated shoreline if you wish. In the mood to get a little wild? Gather a few friends to chill out in the party cove for an hour...or three!

Swimming

After a day hiking or biking, relax near the water on Lake Bob Sandlin. You’ll find the designated swimming area near the main parking lot and boat ramp. Swim out to the platform for an even better sunning spot. Keep in mind that the beach is unsupervised, so swim at your own risk.

Wildlife watching

The most popular wildlife watching experience at Lake Bob Sandlin State Park happens during the winter months. Come when it’s cold for a chance to spot an elusive bald eagle soaring over the lake. You can also request a guided nature walk on most weekends.
