Lush RV camping right on the lake. Good shower/changing rooms with plenty of hooks. We were in 112. Fun fishing trails along the shore. The dog loved then. But, fishermen don't pick up after themselves. We just returned in January 2023. We were in 108, but 112 is a drive-through and it has the best entrance to the lake trail. I want to address the ENTRANCES. The back entrance on the east side is where Google maps will try to bring you. It is not always open. The main west entrance you can only enter from the south, and you can only leave turning to the north. We found a nice turnaround once we left. Just north a short bit is a small mall with Dress Barn. If you go in the second entrance, the north entrance, you can make a quick loop and come out the main entrance at the traffic light and then go south.

We have visited the campground at Lake Casa Blanca State Park several times in the past 2 years. All of the sites have electric / water and a few also have sewer hookup. The sites are pretty basic concrete slab and canopy with a picnic table underneath. There are also fire pits on each siite. The bathhouse in the campground is well maintained and usually always clean. The showers are above par when it comes to State Parks. The park itself is usually clean of trash except on the shore of the lake. This is my only complaint when we have gone fishing on the shore of the lake there is a lot of trash. Overall good value for camping at a state park.

This Texas State Park seems to be having an old fashioned identity crisis. It is first and foremost an urban park. There is no darkness at night, if that is something that is important to you. I picked up a small pile of glass, along with the ubiquitous bread ties and beer caps from our site upon arrival. You could not allow a pet or child to play without doing a good clean up first. There are some simple trails for walking. The park is quiet, with distant urban noise and the airport noise isn’t too bad. The sites are roomy with paved parking pads but there are few with any privacy. We were lucky to have a quiet corner. One problem we had was when we returned from picking up groceries (we’re in a van) only to find someone happily setting up their huge rv in our site. We were lucky that they packed back up and moved when we explained it was our booked and paid for site for three nights. Apparently that may or may not happen. In the past, others have been relocated by the park warden and did not get their booked site. Unfortunately, the office is kept locked and the solo park employee at the entrance “window” seems to be there sporadically?? Guests arriving with no bookings do “self check in” and this means that they access the park and then wander to choose their own camp site; even if it’s the one you booked days or weeks in advance. Sigh. This leads to a stressful and potentially confrontational situation which guests should not have to deal with. A proper checkin system, with registration slips displayed on a post at the site, indicating it is taken, would eliminate the problem without the need to increase staff. Overall, an enjoyable stay, despite a few hiccups. It’s urban location is great for exploring Laredo, but the park is tiered, understaffed and a little abused. It’s a shame when there’s clearly so much potential here.

I was very disappointed. I drove 2 hours to Lake Casa Blanca State Park only to find that half of the park is closed off. The beginning of Roadrunner Trail (by headquarters) was open but was closed at the point where it meets with Mesquite Trail. Also it runs outside of the park boundaries. Mesquite trail is covered with broken glass throughout the trail but it did get me to the closed off section of the park. Whitetail Loop trail has tall grass that came up to my waist which is expected since the trail hasn't been used in some time but I wasnt going to risk being bit by something and the only section of Osprey Hill Loop that is open will be the scenic overlook portion. I really wish they had this information on the website so that i could have gone to a different park with accessible trails. The fish seemed to be very active. I stood on the shore thats behind Chloe's Consession (it's closed/going out of buisness) and within the first ten minutes there were four fish that jumped out of the water but if you plan on fishing your best bet is going to be by boat.... there are several places off the shore that you can fish from but they are also swimming areas. If you get there when the park opens you might be able to get a "private" area right off of State Senator Rd.. As you travel along this road you will see small "parking areas" on the left side, I counted seven, the sixth or fifth one looked like the nicest. Another area for fishing is off the shore around "Area 1", pass the boat ramp and the parking area and turn left on the next road, once you turn stay left and there's parking back there....you'll see a picnic table with a wooden fence, to the left is a trail that will take you to this spot.

It’s been great parking the RV here! Minor hiccup on check in day with the after hours code, but it’s been great since. I have seen lots of animals I didn’t even think I would encounter lol. It’s the first time I take the RV to a State Park. I saw a wild hog family, a possum, lots of deer, an armadillo, and a handful of wild bunnies during my drives 😆. Super quiet and peaceful here, with beautiful views. The full hook up sites were booked out but the other sites have lots of availability with more privacy in my opinion. Overall it has been a really nice experience. Right next to the loop and restaurants/ Walmart are super close by.

Lake Casa Blanca State Park had friendly staff and was a nice park. Whew, it was hot!! 104 degrees to hike in isn’t ideal but I hiked their few mile-ish trails. I didn’t see anyone on the trails with me. There were lots of people fishing and picnicking by the lake front. The showers were nice and clean. The water wasn’t cold, which is what I was hoping for on such a hot day. Being in a desert climate, I was keeping my eye out for snakes and thankfully didn’t see any. Laredo Airport is basically right across the street. Bring lots of water if you plan to be out here in the summer. Lake Casa Blanca is a nice state park.
