Timber Ridge Campground — Cross Timbers State Park

Anglers and hikers will find plenty to explore at this 50-site campground within Cross Timbers State Park. The facility sits on a forested peninsula extending into Toronto Lake, with sites scattered across both wooded and open areas. Full hookups accommodate RVs, while the campground maintains clean shower facilities with reliable hot water.

The Timber Ridge Loop offers electric and water hookups, with some sites providing direct lake views. Campers report that a fishing dock sits at the end of certain campsites, making it convenient to drop a line without traveling far. Amanda I. notes the facility maintains "always clean camps, shower house, hot water" after 13 years of visits. White pelicans frequent the lake during migration periods, and the area tends to be less crowded during weekdays and off-season periods.

Trail access connects directly from the campground to the park's hiking system, though some paths show overgrowth during summer months. The Cross Timbers State Park Cross Timbers Campground and Osage Plains Campground — Cross Timbers State Park provide additional camping options within the same park system. Cell service through Verizon can be spotty throughout the area.

Reservations are available and recommended during peak fishing seasons when lake access becomes the primary draw.

Peaceful

Stayed in an electric + water site in Timber Ridge Loop for a couple nights. Loved the peaceful seclusion offered, realizing it was probably due to the time of year and early in the week. The 50amp was appreciated due to the late high temps, which was abated by our A/C. Enjoyed just walking the various loops and day use areas and watching the White Pelicans fishing on the lake. Verizon service was spotty at best.

Nice fall camping

We had a nice weekend stay at this lake. We booked site #210, and were happy with the amenities. Fire ring with built in grill worked well. Luckily the lake wasn’t crowded, so we had lots of space to ourselves. Lake staff were pleasant Nice views of the lake, but not very good shore access from where we were at. However at the end of the campsite was a nice fishing dock. The took a short hike and the trail was well maintained. All in all, we found it to be a nice stay and fairly close to home.

Hiking Nearby

Spent an October weekend here and had a great time with the kids fishing, hiking, and roasting marshmallows. The wind blewthe entire time stick read kind of annoying, but if we were in the woods it didn't really bother us. Just need to pick a better campsite next time.

Didn't go to far on the trails, but the maps show a number of backcountry sites one can backpack into. Trails were fairly well maintained though a little overgrown at times.
