A forested campground near fishing, and hiking. RV fit varies by site.
Preston Bend sits on the Texas side of Lake Texoma's Preston Peninsula amid the Cross Timbers' rolling hills, where post and blackjack oaks dot the shoreline and wildlife from white-tailed deer and wild turkey to hawks and waterfowl is commonly seen. The campground is modest in size but offers a full complement of basic comforts: there are 34 campsites in all, 23 that accommodate both RVs and tents and 11 tent-only sites.
Length limits vary by campsite.
Some sites have no hookups.
Showers on site. Dump station on site.

“We had a beautiful site with beautiful views. My only complaint is that no one follows the leash laws with their dogs. Very seldom ever saw the host or a park ranger drive. ”
“Wish it had sewer at each site and coverings over the table. ”
“Some of the sites are a bit close together, but the sites are well maintained and it is a beautiful lookout”

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 (6,248 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.
34 individual reservable campsites from Recreation.gov, checked Nov 7. Rates are the listed nightly rates.
