Lake Rita Blanca - April 2017
I arrived early in the day and parked in the day use area. I walked on the trails and waited to see if other RVs would be staying the night.
There is a private RV park in town, but it was more expensive and probably crowded. I would go there if no other RVs showed up, I did not want to be the only RV staying overnight in the city park.
Although this is a large park, the camping area is small, 10 spaces on gravel with no camp host on duty. $15 for a site with electric. RVParkReviews says full hookups, I only used the electric.

The surrounding park has several trails and a frisbee golf course. The rodeo arena is on the other end of the park. Curfew in the park is 10pm, it was a quiet night after the day traffic left.

There are a few trailheads and a path around the lake.
alltrails.com shows this as a 5.4 mile easy loop trail.
I would definitely stay here again, when traveling through Northern Texas. There are restaurants, a grocery store and gas stations nearby.
In May 2014, I stopped at the XIT Museum in Dalhart, check out that post on my blog here.
