ray roberts lake state park印象

I took my two kids as well as various friends the past three weekends and really enjoyed our time out there. The facilities are nice, good amount of room between camp sites and plenty to do with the kids. We had one night with someone being too loud but they eventually piped down around 10:40. All in all, great location to the metroplex and a nice relaxation atmosphere.

lake Ray Roberts state Park has 2 branches ...Isle Du Bois and Johnson Branch Units. This review is for the johnson branch unit. Smaller Park with lots of amenities. Good fishing, friendly staff. Clean Bathrooms and Helpful Staff. Sherry in the office was great and friendly. There are only a few lakeside spots so get there early. Spots 12 thru 15 seemed the best to me. Though most state parks are underfunded, they took great care of the grounds. We stayed 8 days and would have stayed longer if they werent booked up. The only downside is there is not full sewer hookups.Park Host Randy and hos wife were fun to sit and chat with and everyone was pleasant. Not the Party crowd.....if you want that go to isle du bois.

Stayed two nights in early February. Although I had made a reservation it wasn't needed. If traveling during the summer months it would be recommended. If you plan on staying in Texas State Parks more than ten nights it would save money by purchasing an annual pass for $70 per person as Daily Fees are $7 / day / person.Nice Park - good facilities - easy in and outCamped in a 30ft Motorhome.

For a Texas lake, Ray Roberts has some wide open areas as well as some protected coves where you can get out of the wind if need be...although lake levels are down, RR is still a good place to go!

Beautiful state park. The hike and bike trails stood out for us. They have some trails that are fully paved allowing the use of any bike or you can mountain bike on the trails that are alo used for hiking and, in some parts, equestrian use. There were over 20 miles of trails which can keep you occupied for hours or days.The lake has several boat ramps and a fishing pier. Great for families that need to get away from the city.

We camped overnight at the Wild Plum primitive site. It was nice and kept space between the other sites. Only issue was we had to carry our gear a bit to get to it. Only half the path is paved. Lake is beautiful. Beach is very nice. We will return!

Shade trees along the shore and campgrounds make this an ideal spot for an easy getaway from Dallas or Ft. Worth. If not camping, make it a day trip to hike paved or primitive trails, bring the horses for trail riding, or just bring the boat or the swimsuit for cool clear water sports. Master Naturalists hold several weekend hikes and bird-watching tours every weekend. This is truly a hidden gem in your own backyard.

We have had our little family-reunion campouts at various Texas State Parks for more than 20 years, and were shocked by the treatment we received from a ranger at Isle du Bois in Ray Roberts Lake State Park. We always book five campsites for our group of about 20 people, so we have a lot of room to spread out and not bother neighboring sites. On our first night in, we were talking and laughing and some people had just arrived. It was about 11 p.m., which is of course past the "quiet hour" of 10 p.m. A ranger approached my husband on the way back from the bathroom and said our group was too loud. My husband said he would tell everyone, but the ranger said, "No, that's not good enough-- I need to talk to them." The ranger came into the site where we were all sitting, shined his flashlight on us and said "I am an officer" as if we didn't know that and were supposed to be scared. He then proceeded to lecture our educated group of taxpaying campers, ages 25 to 68, like we were either children or drunken rednecks. Instead of politely reminding us to quiet down, he lectured us for at least five minutes, using the same words and phrases over and over. We stared in disbelief as he said "congratulations, you are the loudest group here, " "it's not all about you," and "we will give you one warning and then 'something else' will happen." It was almost like he was trying to pick a fight. We of course apologized and did tell him we had five sites, and he took the name of the person who made the reservations as if he was already planning his 'something else' threat.

okay, so we drove about an hour to get there. took some convincing to get my parents to pay the $4 fee to get into Isle du Bois State Park (haha... parents). and i paid the $7 regular fee. it's pretty. some camping sites with sweeping hillside views of the water. i hope to check out the bike trail someday. so we went to simply enjoy a picnic and the fresh air. well, hunky dory. everything was fine. we enjoyed our sandwiches from the "Dam Store" ...until the portly patron of the family next to us pulls up in his convertible BLARING his tejano music. well, the music stopped when he turned off the engine. bad enough. but then about 10 minutes later, the "man" (and i use the term loosely) walks back over to his car, cranks up his music and walks back to their picnic table. he's walking back with chest all bowed out, sneering at everyone like he's the big man challenging anyone to say something. i mean, this an area several acres large, tons of picnic tables, dozens of families trying to enjoy a Sunday at the park and anyone within at least 100 yards was subjected to this abhorrent display of malfeasance and total lack of decency. disgusting. disgusting how people like this think they can just get away this sort of disruptive, intrusive and "attempted" intimidating behavior. well, intimidated i am not. i called the park entrance office and reported the loud music. after waiting for 15 minutes, we called again. we were ready to leave regardless, but stayed to see if any authority figure actually showed up to remedy the situation. a few minutes later, a park ranger did in fact come driving up and spoke with the "offending individual". and the "music" stopped.which was good to see. but one has to wonder. how often does this happen? this was my first time there. and as stated, i would LIKE to return and check out the bike and hiking trails. but.... i'm wondering if this sort of "clientele" is what normally shows up at Lake Ray Roberts. i know my parents were uncomfortable and felt unsafe when we parked a little later so i could take photos and another car slowly drove around our car. i mean, it's bad at other area lakes but you would think driving that far away from the city, maybe you'd find a peaceful safe place to enjoy the outdoors. THREE THINGS:1. park rangers need to patrol on the steady. hourly. 2. the park needs to post signs forbidding this disruptive and inconsiderate behavior3. on those same signs, the park needs to post the phone number to call & report violationsi just so happen to be able to use my iphone to quickly find the number. it was not on our receipt from the entrance fee. had my parents gone alone, they would not have been savvy enough to find the number. they would have felt helpless and defeated and most likely NEVER return. and that's not right. but because we were able to see someone enforce what should be Common Decency, we just may return. maybe

Love this place. Great for kids, bike rides, Geocaching all over the park, away from crowds, and great RV sites. If you want more open area, go to the swim area, you can use their playground, play games and enjoy a family picnic day.
