This park is amazing! My family was looking for something to do while up in Denison and found this state park from a quick Google search. The pictures looked neat, but we were so surprised at what we had found. The place is gorgeous with lots to do! There are natural formations such as caves right in the cliff walls on the beach! Many amazing miles of trails to hike along the lake with fantastic views! A gorgeous sand beach into the massive lake! Lots of deer and wild life! We even spotted a bobcat while there!They even appear to have trails for 4 wheelers and other off-road motorized vehicles which is definitely not available at every park. They even have ramps set up for you to back your truck or trailer up to for unloading vehicles.Not a ton of people when we went this past Monday.10 out of 10 would recommend! Were definitely going to go back to actually camp over night in the near future!

It’s a good place to go for weekend. Convenient location, really close to Dallas. The lake is beautiful and the camping area is full facilities and good condition. The cleanest restroom I ever seen. But the hiking route is not a loop, which means you have to come back at same trail.

Really nice place to spend some time with family. The campsites were pleasant, the lake beautiful and it was just a lovely day. The grandchildren had a blast on the lake beach and climbing those steps down there. Wish we had discovered it sooner!

The beach area is open again. The kids loved climbing the rocks and going up to the cave. Bathrooms were clean. Very peaceful at night. We had a great time!

The pictures do not do this place justice. It is so beautiful at the water side. We went climbing and trudging along the beach for almost a mile. There is so much to see. Also the facilities are very well kept. Bathrooms are kept clean and the shelters & campsites are immaculate when you arrive. The park staff is knowledgeable and very friendly. We had a wonderful time and we will be back.

We loved the cliffs that are not often seen in the state parks here in Texas. We enjoyed the trail hiking and the rocky beach! Nice place to go during the COVID.

LOVE this place!Hiking 9 out of 10 - great elevations but not too challengingPictures 10 out of 10 - wooded, water, sunsets - you name it, they have itCamping 9 out of 10 - great spots and others that are just goodSwimming 5 out of 10 - dang that murky Texas waterBoating 8 out of 10 - love the boating but have to watch out for the craziesIf you havent visited this park, youre missing out!

This place was just amazing! If your ever by lake Texoma youve got to stop by here! With tons of camping spots, swings, and amazing lookout points, this place is just plain beautiful. Ill defiantly come here again.

I love Eisenhower I just recently started going but I go hike on my day off about once a week and it helps me relax and remember to enjoy life. Very beautiful and recommend going.

Awesome trail, if you do round trip it is over 6 mi with a bit rough terrain. Make sure you have plenty of water/hydration and good hiking shoes.

Beautiful view of lake Texoma.

Lots of very good hiking to be had here with amazing views of the lake and the surrounding natural terrain. I didnt stay overnight, but the camping grounds were placed where you can also take advantage of the beatiful views Eisenhower SP has to offer. It also has a pretty sizeable area for launching boats.

We drove in from Denton after work, so it was already dark when we got here. Judging from the lack of lights we knew it would be a nice and quiet weekend. The staff was very friendly and got us checked-in really quickly. Since we arrived so late, there were only a few camping spots left with electricity and water hookups. We were able to get a spot (#40) in the Armadillo Hill camping area, fairly close to the restrooms. Before leaving the front office we were offered trail maps and pamphlets for local attractions.Our first impression of the park, once we were all set up, was that the restrooms and showers were very clean and well kept. Thats a definite big thumbs up! The showers have actual doors and plenty of space to shower and get dressed afterwards. The tent areas for the campsites around us were adequately spaced apart and it didnt feel like we were on top of one another. We have a fairly large tent (16x10) and had not problem fitting it on the tent pad.The next day we were able to explore quite a bit of the park. We decided to do some hiking before checking out some of the sights of nearby Denison. We chose to hike the Armadillo Hill Trail, which was about .8 mi. About 1/4 mi. into the hike, we discovered that part of the trail was under water, since there had been so much rain around that time. We ended up driving around the park to check out some of the other camping areas. We were surprised to discover how large this park actually is! Upon leaving the park to check out nearby Denison, we saw there was a big box where you could select firewood for 50¢ a stick. Most other state parks that weve been to have very overpriced firewood, so we brought our own. Its nice to know that the next time we come to this park, we can just buy firewood there for really cheap.I only had 2 minor gripes with our camping area. The water spout for the camp site next to us was really close to our tent area. Because of this, any runoff from the water spout would flow down towards the front of our tent pad. My other gripe was that our water spout and electrical hookup were quite a bit away from our tent pad. Luckily, I brought a 50 extension cable to run power to our tent, but we only had 1 of the extension cable actually inside of the tent.I look forward to coming and camping here again, and maybe staying in one of the other camping areas!

This is my new favorite park in the DFW metroplex. Beautiful shorelines, clear water, excellent fishing and endless fossils.

...... it was lovely. Unable to enter due to COVID-19 protocols, also, Fri, Sat and Suns, entrance is limited to those with reservations. Great security! The office ladies were polite and gracious. The grounds were well kept. Will revisit. Will provide update.

Wonderful staff. They were above my expectations. Great job. C

Not to bad a place to ride!since no jeeps or other autos are allowed the trails dont get rutted out. Keep it up Eisenhower park

Rocky lake shore, great place for camping, hiking and kayaking. Kayaking at sunset is especially beautiful

This park is prefect for the tent, pop-up, teardrop style or single axle trailer up to 18ft. There are only a hand full of spots big enough for RVs over 18ft. If you want to fish use the dock. there is no access from the camp sites to the water. Its a 40-120ft drop off from the edge of our campsite to the water.

Beautiful state park BUT:Such a beautiful and big state park for north tx, campsites and lighted fishing pier are great, the BUT is that its not handicap friendly, theres rocks and stairs to get to the beach area, they are working on the ramp and it looks like only WHEELS can handle that steep ramp, the other fishing area my husband and son checked it out for me and I was told that its also not handicap friendly so we went to the lighted pier and yes an accessible ramp. 5 stars for how beautiful this park is and the nature that it has to offer. If youre disabled and cant walk, the beach area isnt for us

The place was amazing and the beach was cool.Why three stars? The people of course.Labor day weekend - On a Friday and Saturday night, I was kept up by the loud crowd at the yacht club. I kept quiet the first night, but the second was too much. One the 3rd day, I asked who was in charge and the man at the entrance told me that the yacht club wasnt part of the state park and Id have to call 911 to get the issue resolved... at two-freaking-am?!?!?! Yea, right!! So, everyone on the park side has a ten oclock quiet hour time, but the yacht club doesnt need to bother with the time because theres a body of water keeping us apart, so that should be okay. I bet the nocturnal animals were delighted as well.

I was a bit taken aback by the fact that they were going to charge $5.00 per person just to drive in to the park. We werent even going to picnic. We just wanted to get out of the car and walk around and stretch our legs for maybe 30 minutes (were elderly).At my age, I have visited many, many state parks. This is the first one Ive seen that charges you just to drive in there and look. I totally agree with charging fees for overnight camping. But I do not agree with this. State taxpayers pay State taxes for State parks. Anyway, I just thought Id warn anyone else who might think this is a free State park. It is not.

Peaceful, beautiful, serene and Margie at the attendant booth was very pleasant and provided great info about the park. She provided us with brochures including current rates for camping, a map of the entire park, what is currently open, info about covid-19 guidelines, and how important, weekend in advance reservations are. Thanks!!

Stayed this weekend with our scout troop at Eisenhower State Park. We were on a dead end road that had maybe sixteen campsites total. Our troop took six campsites and then there was one other family at one campsite. So seven out of the sixteen camp sites were being used.Friday night we arrived and all of our troop got things set up and everyone was in their tents by 9:30 except for myself and two other scoutmasters. The three of us were just sitting at a table in one of our sites with one little light and just talking about troop activities. A few minutes after 10:00 PM the park police roll by and park about two campsites down past us. The get out and walk in the dark with no lights past us to the camp site that the one family is at. They are over there a good five minutes. When they get done there they walk over into one of our troop campsites where everyone is already in bed and assumed asleep. At this point they are shining their flash lights all over the camp site and at all the tents. I walk over and explain that I’m a scoutmaster that’s we are on a Boy Scout campout and ask if I can help them. They ask me where my rent is at. I tell them at the campsite right across the road that you just walked past. They told me to go back to my campsite and they would talk with me in a minute. They didn’t just politely ask, they came in their with an attitude and was using a very aggressive tone and posturing. I tried to explain again that we were a scout troop and I was one of the leaders and again they told me to get back across the road. They woke up one of the adults that was asleep and chewed him out for using a generator after 10:00. Then they came over to where me and the other two scoutmasters were and very agressivly told us they could write us tickets for noise. We were simply sitting at a table talking in normal voices. They said if they can hear any noise from a campsite after 10 they can write you a ticket.I’ve never had a law enforcement person talk to me and treat me like these two did. I know they have a hard job and deal with all kinds of people. But they came up into the camp sites with a bad attitude and tone. They are the ones that give good police the bad rep.

Perfect place and great weather. Went with a group of 6 families with small children ranging from 4-10 years old. Tent camping and used the Shelters for staging food and weather contingency.Clean facilities and nearby bathrooms with shower. (and a soda vending machine)Well maintained and safe / patrolled area. Access to lake and fossils as well as a huge variety of outdoor options.A great time was had by all and we will do this again.Notes:Fire detector in shelter so no cooking inside shelter.Outside fire pit with attached grilling area. (Small)Tent camping is much easier on some shelters due to amount of safe level ground on the particular site. SH24 & SH25 were perfect but SH26 was not well suited to more than one small tent due to ground slope and large overhead limbs.SH26 is Directly across the gravel road from Ike’s Cabin so the combination would be great.Awesome fossils and animal tracks.Trash receptacles are abundant but not overflowing and they are well placed.Wood for fire available at entrance for a suggested donation of $0.50 / log.Kind and helpful staff.Highly recommended.

Very pretty location. They have camp sites, picknic tables, boating, great views of the lake, and a beach.

A great place to spend a day or two! You can rent a kayak, set up a tent, or simply use one of many trails. Nature here is amazing. The place is quiet and relaxing. It has deers walking around, and there is plenty of fish and turtles in the water. There are many ants and spiders here as well, so be careful.

Love this state park. We visit a couple of times a year and they grounds are well kept. A few poke stops here if you play Pokémon. Very friendly staff.

Beautiful state park, many things to do and not to expensive to visit, lake texoma looks awesome! If you are close please take the time to visit you will have a great time!

Overlooking the things that I cannot change like the amount of people and the fact that there should at least be a two-night minimum for every Texas State Park. Having said that the park is absolutely gorgeous, the water is very pretty and the natural landscape makes for some adventurous hiking and exploring.Overall the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly and the shower and bathroom facilities were by far the best kept up and clean from any state park in Texas that Ive seen thus far.

Beautiful, peaceful and clean.

So tranquil, clean and simply gorgeous property. Park staff are phenomenal! Definitely recommend! You will not be disappointed!

Beautiful park, short trip to escape the city. Ive gone a few times camping, hiking and just to spend a day grilling and its always a beautiful time. Swimming in the summer was nice and relaxing, a great way to cool off in the summer heat.

Had a couple of great hikes. You can do a loop of about seven miles, almost all under the canopy so even hot days arent bad, and some nice views of the lake. Great place to spend some outdoor time.

Great hike, nice views, not too far from metroplex for a great day trip.

Its a beautiful place to visit with camping and outdoor activities! Would definitely go again!

Friendly rangers with great information. Reserved space online for social distancing. Watch out for brown recluse spiders & snakes on trails.

We love exploring Eisenhower State Park. The trails and the camping areas are well kept and clean.

We picked a bad weekend. Cold & wet. But we stuck it out. Though it seems like they have gotten much stricter on their rules as far as music only 9 pm & was threatened with a citation if she had to come back. At the same time telling us quiet hour wasnt until 10. Not playing any rough music just old rock & roll but mainly country.

Biggest water body Ive seen in north Texas. Its beach can easily be confused with a private ocean beach. beach is very clean, raw nature at its best

No campsites on the water. In serious need of a face-lift. Great trails!

Hubby and I had a fishing outing at Eisenhower State Park. It was nice but not enough fishing spots for pier or bank. But overall nice park.

I love the lake and state parks. I would steer clear of the restrooms. They have been attended to Im a while, but thats understandable in the current situation.

Well maintained. The trails were nice and clear of trash. Good tree coverage and pretty views. Bathrooms were clean. Site #10 is great; looks like most sites are nice. Surprisingly, not that hot for midsummer with all the shade trees.

Lots of trails nice beach area very clan restrooms very shaded campsites

Excellent place to go camping , fishing or enjoy the view.I loved it!!

Love this place. Scoping out camp sites for our annuall frezze out in January

Went for a day trip to go fishing with the family. Beautiful place and would definitely go again.

This is a great state park that is no wry far from the Dallas metroplex. Great place to go fishing, spend time with family, and go on a hike! Tons of things to do here at the park. When you enter the park ask the park ranger what programs are going on that day!

Nice park with friendly staff, clean facilities, and decent prices. $5 person/day fee, and a variety of camping options. Standard campground with water was $15 per night. Hiking was a bit sub par, the trails follow the edge of the lake but you cant see much due to foliage. Overall not bad, and the park is close to Denison so if you forget something/want to get out of the heat, you can always go there.

Great place to camp! My wife and I camped here in October when it was difficult to find a campground that wasnt full up. This one was actually full too, but they put us in overflow camping which happened to be an awesome little campground up on the hill above the lake, towards the back of the park in an area that was intended for private groups. It had a picnic pavilion, bathhouses and there were hookups in the gravel parking lot. Best part is we had it to ourselves except for one other rig.

A beautiful park on Lake Texoma with great walking trails

Nice place to hike. Right now still muddy so be careful. It is kind of cloudy but sunshine after 12. So if you wanna to take pic with sunshine better go there not too early. It is quite and lots of picnic area. You would definitely enjoy your day there.

Beautiful park. Most features were closed due to the rains lately. Will come back another time to enjoy the parts of the park we couldnt this time!

BEAUTIFUL park. Great trails. Will be returning here often.

Nice place to visit, a lot of areas to park, and camp as well as fishing, very friendly staff, make sure to make reservations and arrive early to get a decent spot.

This is a nice park for camping and trail walking but since the swim beach is closed theres not a lot of choices for entering the water to swim. Other than that this is a nice quiet place to just hang out with the family.

Great park, large! They have a marina, a few fishing piers and several trails of various difficulties. There is also a beach area that you can swim in. Very fun for the kids. Expect to walk to where you want as parking is limited to certain areas. Beautiful park all around and well kept.

Nice park great views of the lake. They have boat and kayak rentals. The beach is great. I highly recommend checking out the dam nearby whenever they release the chambers.

Very nice park on Lake Texoma. Will cone back again

A great getaway for the day. Cant wait to go out on a boat.

Fathers Day to remember. we had a blast. Almost step on a small scorpion inside a shower stall. But overall this is nature at its best. Rain on us Sunday morning, but we all were safe in our tents

Close to Dallas and easy access. Nice camping spots with good space between sites.

-Pros: Eisenhower State Park has some beautiful views of the lake. The fishing pier is great. If youre into hiking, you will enjoy the trails. Boat rentals are available for nominal fees, I highly recommend it to everyone. Camp sites are plentiful but the Elm Point Camping area is closest to the designated swimming area. The Beach isnt that easy on the feet as its covered in rocky sand. It also covers a small area of the park, so space could be limited on a busy day. (I would recommend water shoes or sandals) Picnic tables can be found around the park but views of the lake are limited from the picnic areas.-Cons: Ive been there a few times but it just seems like some people just leave their trash around. I have come across some beer bottles that havent been picked up for a long time. The Beach area isnt the best for running around and having a good time without worrying about jamming your toes into some rocks.-Overall, Its just a great place for hiking the trails and enjoying the scenic views.

Beautiful lake and nice trails.

Large wooded campsites with plenty of trees that offer adequate shade. Campsites are spaced far enough apart that you feel somewhat secluded. The fishing piers are large and one is lighted for all night fishing. The wife and I will definitely return. The best part is that it’s only about a 90min drive North of Dallas!

Went here for a 3 day weekend with my family to tent camp, we had a wonderful time! There is a Marina that rents canoes & kayaks with a store attached containing plenty of ice, food, camping gear, and other outdoor paraphernalia. The camp grounds are very well kept with excellent shower/restroom facilities. The swimming area is one of the most scenic Ive been to here in North Texas. Also, some scenic hiking trails that are easily traversed. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful area, $5/ person for swimming or hiking. Not sure the price to camp.The swimming area/boating docks are 10ft under water, so on our visit everything was closed.Water seemed clear and could see turtles swimming, even from my elevated view.

This is the first place I went camping over 50 years ago. Clean restrooms great staff lots of back woods hiking, repelling and roughing it if thats what you are looking for. Also for those who want to pull into a space and set up, youll have a selection of amenities for that as well. Took my children here and will be taking my grandchildren here as well.

Very nice place and nice shaded trails.Also has a very beautiful swimming

Went camping here alone and it was great! I stayed at campsite 153 at fossil ridge. It was very secluded and I enjoyed my time swimming and fishing. I loved going to the fishing pier near my campsite because there was literally no one there. Got to climb a rock that was very easy to climb and enjoyed some great views! Just a heads up though, theres spider webs everywhere so watch out for that.

Beautiful view from Elm Point. Lots of vultures can be observed. Swim area is closed due to COVID for now.

A great place to visit and camp. Fishing, hiking, swimming, boating and biking are all available.

Nice park with huge picnic area with great views

Nice place bait shop open still during the week. Not many are still open right now.

Lake Texoma is absolutely beautiful! A great recreational lake. Lots of boats! The water was very clear. If you do go swimming then having water shoes would be great because of all the rocks. We went July 4th weekend. It was very hot and the swimming area was closed.You will see some deer. The staff at the office was very kind when checking in. And when we decided to check out and left early. The very first night we sat around the fire telling funny stories. Just our family of 5. I have 3 kids. Ages 10, 8, & 7. It was 11pm. (They have quiet hours starting at 10pm) One of the park patrols came by. Stopped and told us we needed to be quiet. I was very upset! But I was respectful and said yes maam. We will go to bed. We were not being loud! All we were doing was sitting around the fire telling funny stories as our fire died out before bed. When we heard 2 campsites over a group of adults being loud just minutes before! And you could hear loud bangs from fireworks still being shot from other parts of the lake. That left a bad taste in my mouth to start our holiday weekend like that. So we left early!

Nice place to go looking for fossils. Fossil ridge lives up to its name, lots of fossils and cliff faces

Great place to camp for the night... we did have some issues with noise from a party boat on Friday night (loud music, people screaming) but it cut off right at midnight. The park is beautiful and well maintained- great for fishing, hiking, skipping rocks, and just relaxing in the outdoors. The camp store is well stocked with essentials and the park is within 15 minutes of a Walmart if you forget any essentials.

We had a great time building family memories that will last a lifetime.We have stayed at Eisenhower State Park twice in the last several years.This time we chose to stay in one of the screened shelters instead of tent camping.While camping in the shelters during the winter weather, we recommend using moving blankets to block the winds.We love the beautiful fall color scheme with the changing of the seasons.There a literally thousands of fossils seen everywhere along the shores that your family will love taking picturesEisenhower State Park is a great adventure waiting for you and your family to explore!

They are just another victim/casualty of the covid panic-demic... cant let anyone in because the woods are at capacity... give me a frikken break.

Eisenhower was great, the hike was awesome. The park ranges were very friendly.

Beautiful park, plenty to do. Great hike trails. The swim area was closed due to Covid or repairs,not sure,but the lake has plenty of entry points to enjoy the water.

Beautiful natural landscapes and plenty of outdoor activities for the family

Stayed in screened in building, very nice even in the summer.

Camp site was very nice. Workers were very friendly.

My grandson and I enjoy kayaking and Eisenhower has beautiful rock boulder banks. Beautiful.

Love spending the day with friends and family here. Quiet park with plenty of activities and awesome staff. Bathrooms are also clean which is a plus! Even saw some deer on our last trip out.

Big park with lots of shaded hiking trails, swimming, and fishing. Ive been to several state parks in north Texas over the past month, and this one is my favorite for hiking.

Amazing state park the view and the trail overall awesome

Fun, clean and shady hiking trails. Kids loved looking for fossils and ammonites.

We did a drive through exploration today. Such a beautiful park. Campsites and boat launches and as swim beach. We bought a yearly pass so we can enjoy the park any time.

Nice place to spend time with family surrounded by nature..just an hour drive from Plano. Day use area available. Beach currently closed.

We love eisenhower state park...It has lots of camping sites and shelters...We have visited the park for over ten years and will continue to go there...I give it 4 stars because the place is big and I wish they can build fully addresses cabins...

Big park with lots of camping and trails. We saw a road runner (bird).

This is a fantastic park for either a day trip or camping. We went as a small group and brought the kids and the dog. The rangers are super friendly and the check-in process was quick and easy. The campsite was very clean and easy to find even though it was dark when we arrived. The bathrooms were in good shape and better than expected. We explored for two days and cant wait to get back to continue to explore. The trails are clearly marked and easy to follow. Its beautiful out there, we will definitely be back.

Good fishing caught a 3 pound bass

This is one of my favorite state parks in Texas. Beautiful sights, extremely well taken care of & full of wonderful nature.

We have two boat slips and a dockominium at Eisenhower. We love the beautiful surroundings and the excellent care of the entire park. A must see!

Beautiful state park set up on a bluff overlooking Lake Texoma. My wife, kids, and I stayed in a screened shelter for spring break and it was great! The campground restrooms were well maintained and clean. We enjoyed hiking down to the lake to enjoy the scenery and to throw rocks into the water.

Nice, well-kept trails at easy to moderate difficulty. There were also patches of beautiful flowers this time of year.
