Just saw a mention of this park, and wanted to give everyone a heads up. Most of the tracks are eroding, now that they are exposed. I took my kids there 12-15 years ago, and then recently, and they are much fainter now (the tracks - not my grown-up kids). So...if you like that kind of thing, you need to go see them while they are still visible.

There is camping and there are hiking and bike trails there - no lake. The Paluxy was way down then (before the recent floods), and I don't know if there was camping directly on the river anyway.

If you wanted to camp on a lake, Glen Rose is not very far from Cleburne State Park. You could go there on the way to camping, or the way back, or as a short day trip. There is also Fossil Rim Wild Animal Park at Glen Rose, which I have only visited for a 5K Cheetah Run.
