Camping at Airport Park near Waco

Public campground · Waco · 68 campsites · 1 group

A forested campground near fishing, and hiking. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Airport Park sits on the northern bank of Waco Lake just below the dam, offering a curious mix of lakeside calm to the south and steady airport activity to the north you can cast off from the campground's boat ramp and dock one minute and watch a commuter plane lift into the sky the next. Waco Lake is fed by the Bosque River and is notable for being the largest lake in the United States located entirely within a single city's municipal boundaries; its main shoreline holds a lot of submerged timber that attracts catfish, crappie, largemouth and smallmouth bass, and sunfish, so anglers will find steady opportunities year-round.

Reviews

Selected reviews

Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (1,051 reviews, ★ 4.0). Not written or edited by us.

“Airport park is a beautiful camp. It is clean and well maintained. The only draw back is the 5:00 am flight to Dallas. It goes directly over the park and is a definite wake-up call each morning. Otherwise it's a great place to relax and unwind.”

Tanya P 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Bathrooms were clean. Campsite was maintained. But the water’s edge was a disaster. Overgrown and stickers everywhere. Having access to the water was our priority and we did not really get to enjoy that. ”

How far ahead to book Airport Park

For September weekends, book about 130 days ahead. Three in four September Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 30 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

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 (35,179 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.
