For guests who enjoy the peace and quiet of the country life, Oakdale Park offers its "sister" campground, Camp 'N' Fish.  Located on the Brazos River 6 miles outside of Glen Rose, Texas, Camp 'N' Fish offers pecan-shaded camping at its best. Tent1.wmf (12182 bytes)

    Pecan bottom camping - Sites have a table and a grill.  No utilities.

    RV section - Has water and electricity at each site; a dump station is available.

bulletCamp 'N' Fish is located on the banks of the Brazos River.  The water level of the river varies, depending primarily whether the lakes above us (Possum Kingdom and Lake Granbury) are letting water out.  You can check the major newspapers for water levels or call the Brazos River Authority in Granbury 817-326-3484 to check on expected water flow.  Generally, our area of the river is shallow, with a sandy/gravel bottom.   It is a great place for families with small children to wade, swim, play, fish, skip stones in the water.  Or, there are deeper holes up and down the river you can find for more serious fishing.
bulletCamp rates:  Base rate - $20.00 per tent (base rate - includes 1 or 2 adults); each extra adult - $10.00 each per night

         Base rate - $20.00 per RV (base rate - includes 2 adults). Extra adults pay the $10 camp fee.

         Special Scout group rates:  $5.00 per scout and $5 per leader per night. Minimum of 10 scouts/leaders to receive discount. Must pay as a group. There are excellent opportunities in Glen Rose area to meet badge requirements!
