White Flint Park

Belton Lake

White Flint Park is located at Belton Lake, which provides some of the best fishing, camping and boating in Central Texas. This year-round campground has 12 sites with screened overnight shelters and 13 RV sites, all with water and electric hookups.

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.

Each campsite has a covered picnic table, grill and electric and water hookups. The facility also provides a multi-lane boat ramp, flush toilets, showers and a dump station. Gate attendants reside within the park for visitor service.
