Contrary to the claims of out of control park rangers, we experienced no such occurrence. I think groups of folks looking to party and drink after 10pm at the Isle Du Bois branch will see stricter enforcement of state park rules than maybe other state parks. I saw the rangers patrolling but not excessively. That being said, we were a... More

Great time over Memorial Day weekend. The C-lot overflow area at Johnson Branch is a good choice for primitive camping. Dogwood Canyon up the road is the true 'roughing it" spot, but we needed 2 picnic tables and restrooms nearby. The C-lot overflow area offers a full 180 degree panoramic view of the lake. Beautiful. South winds blow hard! Be... More

We love to camp. It is always booked on the weekends, so we have to reserve in advance. It is first come first serve, so we wanted a good spot, so we got up there at 7:30 am to wait for the office to open up.. When we got a spot, (not the spots we wanted because they were already... More

We visited RRSP many times. We love to get out and camp and this was one of our favorites until we moved. The views of the lake are fantastic (be sure to go up to the resort. They have great views and the trail from there is really nice).

We visit Lake Ray Roberts State Park year round for fishing, camping and days to simply relax. During the holidays, there is a police presence, for everyone's safety... While we camp, the park staff and police make their rounds and occasionally come by to see how we're doing, which does nothing but comfort us, knowing they're close by in case... More

The Park Rangers were out of control, aside from walking onto our campsite, looking into our tents, constantly threating us with excessive fines, they would approach us with their hands on their side arms in a very threatening manner (this is with kids present). We left a day early, I will not ever go back to this place and this... More

We had a great time camping with our five kids. Facilities were exceptionally well maintained and clean. Great variety in camping sites. We did not go on a holiday weekend, but it was very family friendly with tons to do. We will be back soon!

Lake Ray Roberts has something for everyone: Hikers, bikers, campers, and those who fish, ride horseback.whatever. Go during the week and the wildlife abounds! While the Isle DuBois unit is crowded some on the weekends, the Johnson Branch unit is more often available. Check it out!!

We camp here and take day trips at least 3 times a year. We love to camp at the Isle of Dubois area and we drive 2 miles to the "beach" area. We always come with family or friends. There is space to set up at least 3 tents on most sites. We bring our bikes and some of our... More

Don't have anything particularly bad to say about RR, but I don't have anything particular great either. If you have a boat, it can be fun. If you don't, it will be just like every other park.
