About Preston Bend
Overview
Preston Bend Campground is located on Lake Texoma, in the Cross Timbers region of Texas. The lake is said to be the "Playground of the Southwest," where outdoor activities like fishing, boating, hiking and hunting abound.
Recreation
Lake Texoma is a large reservoir with an excellent fishery and many access points. Boating, swimming, water skiing, hunting, birding and relaxing on the sandy beaches are the typical pursuits of most visitors.
The lake is known as the "Striper Capital of the World," one of the few reservoirs in the nation where striped bass reproduce naturally. Other popular species include largemouth and smallmouth bass, white bass, hybrid striped bass, white crappie, black crappie, channel catfish and blue catfish.
Also available is the scenic Cross Timbers hiking trail, a very popular trail that winds for 14 miles above the lake on rocky ledges and through blackjack woodland. Forty miles of equestrian trails surround the lake as well.
Facilities
This small but popular campground offers 22 campsites with electrical and water hookups, and 12 basic sites without hookups. Other amenities include flush and vault toilets, showers and drinking water. A dump station, boat ramp and dock are located on-site. Many resorts and marinas are nearby on the Preston Peninsula.
Natural Features
The campground is situated on the Texas side of Lake Texoma. Post and blackjack oaks forest the rolling hills of the region. Deer, turkeys, bobcats, hawks, waterfowl and songbirds are abundant around the lake.
Nearby Attractions
The lake features two wildlife refuges, two state parks and 23 commercial concession areas dedicated to the enjoyment of over six million visitors annually.

FAQ
How do I get a reservation at Preston Bend?
Reservations for Preston Bend are made through Recreation.gov. The current snapshot shows substantial availability: 1,085 of 1,122 tracked site-nights are open (96.7%), though availability can change. Campsite Sniper has also detected 24 site openings here in the last 90 days, so further dates may appear. Pick a site on the map to see its calendar, or set a free Campsite Sniper alert. You complete the reservation yourself on Recreation.gov.
Does Campsite Sniper book this campground for me?
No. Campsite Sniper sends alerts and direct Recreation.gov links. It never books, pays for, holds, hoards, or resells reservations.
How current is this availability data?
Campsite Sniper re-checks public Recreation.gov availability for this facility every hour and republishes whenever anything changes. This facility's data last changed at Nov 2, 2026 16:20 UTC; an older timestamp means nothing has changed since that time, not that checking stopped. Always confirm final availability on Recreation.gov when you book.
How often do new openings appear at Preston Bend?
Campsite Sniper detected 24 site-date openings here over the last 90 days, none in the last 7. A free alert watches around the clock and pings you the moment one appears.
Can I get a multi-night stay at Preston Bend?
35 three-night openings are showing, counting only runs where the SAME site is free for all three nights. The soonest starts Apr 1, 2027 at site 01. Confirm and book on Recreation.gov.
Which sites at Preston Bend fit a 35-foot RV?
28 of the 34 sites that support RV analysis have a recorded maximum of 35 ft or more; the longest recorded is 70 ft.
Which month has the most availability at Preston Bend?
April 2027, with 986 open site-nights in the current snapshot of 1,020.
When is the next open date at Preston Bend?
Campsite Sniper cannot answer that from the current snapshot. The availability data held for Preston Bend begins Apr 1, 2027 — about 150 days after this snapshot was taken, so any earlier dates are outside what Campsite Sniper is tracking here rather than known to be unavailable. Check Recreation.gov for dates before Apr 1, 2027.
