Horseback ride down grassy hills and sail on sweet lakes when camping near Sweetwater.
With sunny days for most of the year, Sweetwater provides campers with prime weather conditions for days and nights in Texas nature. Head straight to Lake Sweetwater and check in at campsites with amenities like water and electrical hookups, picnic tables, grills, and restrooms. Take the sailboat out for a spin or play a round of golf at the local green before zipping over to Abilene State Park, an hour away. Campsites here provide full hookups, picnic tables, restrooms with showers, and a boat ramp.
