Texas Creek Campground offers 63 vehicle accessible campsites, including seven double sites. Campsite reservations are accepted and first-come, first-served sites are also available. The gate is locked during the off season, Nov-May. Most of the sites are large and shaded by a forest of Douglas fir mixed with some cedar, larch and Ponderosa pine; however, the double sites are medium to small in size. The forest has a thick understory of shrubs, including ocean spray, that offer privacy for the sites. The numerous trees may make backing into some sites difficult but most are easily accessed. Roads within the campground are gravel, with perimeter road being double lane and the others a little narrower. There is a phone beside site 3 and the nearest services are in Christina Lake.

While campfires are allowed and campfire rings are provided at each campsite, we encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using campstoves instead. Firewood can be purchased in the park or you may bring your own wood.Fees for firewood are set locally and may vary from park to park. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented. To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don't gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park (this is a ticketable offence under the Park Act). Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil.

There are no regularly scheduled interpretive programs at this park.
