Public ramps are available at Johnson and Lakeside parks (830) 693-3615, located west of the US 281 bridge on the north side of the lake. Neither park offers camping, but both have restrooms, and Johnson park contains picnic and playground areas. Two nearby state parks offer camping, just a short drive from the lake. Because of the popularity of these parks, it is a good idea to make reservations well in advance. Camping is also available at a number of private campgrounds at nearby Lake LBJ.
