Slick Rock

Managed by a utility company, Slick Rock operates as both a drive-in and boat-in campground where many sites allow direct waterfront access for boats. The facility provides electric and water hookups along with basic amenities including showers, though reviewers note only two bathhouses serve the entire campground.

Availability presents ongoing challenges, as multiple campers report that most sites appear occupied by long-term residents with no reservation system in place. The campground requires calling to check for openings when someone departs. For alternative options in the region, campers can explore campgrounds around Hodges or consider Cedar Ridge Campground to the west.

Availability is extremely challenging due to long-term residents occupying most sites with no reservation system. Limited bathroom facilities serve the campground, though boat access is a unique feature for waterfront spots.

Looks Like People Live here

2 bath houses for entire campground. Most spots look like people live here full time. When you can pull your boat up to your camp site who could blame them.

No availability

They never have anything available. You cannot make a reservation. They tell you to call back see if anyone has left, and no one ever does. I stayed here several times as a kid and wanted to come back and bring my kids but it is impossible.

Most of the spots are taken by locals. Unless you’re on a waiting list for their campground you are most likely not going to get a spot. Avoid if possible.
