About Belton Lakeview Park Campground
Overview
Belton Lakeview Park has two reservable group day-use areas along the lower shore of Belton Lake, providing some of the best fishing and boating in Central Texas.
The facility is perched on a bluff overlooking Belton Lake and Dam, a year-round scenic location for group picnics and large gatherings. The site offers many amenities, such as flush toilets, water and electric hookups, a playground and a two-lane boat ramp, ensuring your stay is both comfortable and enjoyable.
Belton Lake was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with the construction of Belton Dam in 1954. The 12,300-acre lake is located on the Leon River, just upstream of the confluence of the Leon River and the Little River.
Recreation
With 136 miles of shoreline, Belton Lake offers a wide variety of recreation activities. Belton Lakeview Park is most popular for families and anglers alike to quickly go from the city life to a heavily shaded park with a one multi-lane boat ramp, picnic areas with grills, a playground, and pavillion with volley ball court for events. Close proximity to Frank's Marina allows for a smooth ride out for a day of fun! The lake is a popular fishing spot for hybrid striped bass, largemouth bass, white bass, catfish and sunfish.
Hawks, great blue herons, ducks, geese, many species of songbirds, and even an occasional bald eagle visit the lake area, yielding year-round opportunities for wildlife enthusiasts and kids alike!
Facilities
The Franks area holds 120 people, and Overlook can accommodate 150 people. They each provide a large pavilion, playground, restrooms and hookups.
Overlook is next to Belton Dam and Franks is 1/4 mile west of the dam near the marina. There is no direct lake access from the group areas, but the boat ramp is nearby within the park.
Natural Features
The group use areas are along the forested shoreline of Belton Lake; there is plenty of shade provided by trees and picnic shelters. The sites are not directly on the water, but provide a view of the lake.
The lake area is a habitat for deer, wild turkey and water birds such as Great Blue herons, ducks, geese, many species of songbirds and even an occasional bald eagle.
