 Re: lake charlotte texas camping questions
I did a kayak trip from there a while back. There are some camping spots in the park. You're supposed to register but its a very laid back place and I dont think anybody really expects you to register. You can launch your boat at the park from a little beach and head northwest ish to the right of the big grassy area to find the main pass into the river. there is another pass off to the southwest corner of the lake but it is harder to find. http://freecampsites.net/cedar-hill-park/

 Re: lake charlotte texas camping questions
it's fairly primitive there. I'm sure you could find water but probably not right at the campsite. power is more doubtful. I can't say for sure because I didnt stop in at the campsites, just drove by to get to the beach area.

 Re: lake charlotte texas camping questions
You will not be able to launch a mudboat at the park - just small hand carried pirouges and kayaks - no guns and no beer or liquor....
You can launch at the locks or under I-10 - your truck will be safer at the locks....
It is a cute little park though and like they already said very laid back and quiet - bet you have the place all to yourself.... Charlotte and Mac lake are both fun riding places....
PM - if you want more info...

 Re: lake charlotte texas camping questions
you can also launch at the base of the old river bridge on I-10 (west bound side)
