Camping at Willis Creek near Granger

Public campground · Granger · 28 campsites · 1 group

A forested campground near fishing. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Granger Lake, created when a dam was completed in 1980 and opened to the public in March 1981, spreads across roughly 11,000 acres where the San Gabriel River and Willis Creek feed a long, irregular shoreline carved into the gently rolling hills of the Texas Blackland Prairie. The Willis Creek campground sits on the lake's Willis Creek arm, putting boat ramps and shoreline access within easy reach of most sites; boating, fishing and water sports are the primary draws here, and anglers prize Granger Lake as one of the top five crappie and white bass fisheries in Central Texas.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (12,426 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
