Mustang Park offers open camping, along with a large group pavilion with utilities for overnight use, as well as restrooms with showers, and a trailer dump station. There is also a children's play structure near the swimming beach.

Natural Features

Mustang Park is on the west side of Mustang Creek on the south side of the Lake, with wooded creek bottoms and gently sloping shorelines.

Nearby Attractions

Fort Worth's renowned Cultural & Museum District, Stockyards National Historic District, Botanical Gardens, Zoo, Bass Performance Hall, and downtown Sundance Square, are all only a short drive. The campground closes at 10:00 p.m. so plan ahead..
