Lake Trammell Park
Aside from trash cans, there are no amenities to be found at Lake Trammell. Ironically, few people seem to use the trash cans based on the amount of garbage laying around. On the other hand, it’s evidence the City of Sweetwater rarely patrols this area, which makes dispersed camping a reality here.
Still, it’s a pleasant experience. It’s not crowded here at all, and if there are people around, they’re most on the west of the lake where much of the fishing is found.
Camping is mostly approached by County Road 296 on the east, and County Road 146 on the west. There are several dirt roads leading into tree and brush cover, offering secluded campsites.
There are no signs indicating whether camping is allowed or not, and based on the number of reviews that have been posted on various other camping websites, it appears a lot of people boondock here.
Note that Sweetwater City Ordinance does state that camping in city parks and recreation areas is prohibited without a permit…
Sec. 23-5. - Camping restrictions.
Camping, both overnight and daytime, will be allowed in the city parks and recreation areas by permit only, issued out of the office of the city secretary, however, no campfires will be permitted except in the designated areas where fire pits are already in place.
