The four separate campground loops at Wallace State Park spread across wooded terrain just off Interstate 35, each offering distinct camping experiences. Campground 1 provides the most secluded tent camping with four walk-in sites ranging from 80 to 300 yards from parking, while Campground 2 accommodates RVs with the most spacious sites. Highway noise carries through the area, particularly noticeable at night from the nearby interstate.
"Woodsy tent camping sites were spacious and private," notes Sarah H., who appreciated the wood-chip-lined camping pads comfortable enough for sleeping without an air mattress. The heavily wooded sites in Campground 1 offer natural separation between campers, though Campground 3's five sites sit in an open area with minimal privacy. Covered picnic tables include storage shelves, and most sites provide enough space for lawn games even after setting up camp.
The recently upgraded shower house serves all four campgrounds with individual stalls featuring locking doors, shelves, and strong water pressure. This centralized facility can create lines during busy weekends, but reviewers consistently praise its cleanliness. Vault toilets scattered throughout the campgrounds offer closer convenience for middle-of-the-night needs. A network of hiking trails connects all camping areas to the six-acre lake, where campers can fish for catfish, bluegill, and black crappie or swim from the small beach area.
Campers exploring the region can find additional campgrounds outside Cameron for different experiences. Wildlife activity peaks in the evening with frequent deer, raccoon, and frog sightings. The park fills quickly on weekends, making reservations essential during peak season. Nearby Down Under Camp Resort provides a more developed alternative for those seeking additional amenities.
