We were in the walnut loop, spot 52 and it was awesome. Plenty of room and the site backs up to the lake so we could walk a path from our site to the lake to fish.

Cabins near Calera, Oklahoma provide both rustic and modern accommodations along Lake Texoma and the Red River. Do Drop Inn RV Resort in Calera offers cabin rentals with hot tub access year-round, while Willow Springs in nearby Mead provides cabin options with lake access. Most cabins include electricity, heating and air conditioning, with varying levels of furnished interiors. Riverview RV and Recreational Park features cabins with access to clean facilities and river views. "Roads and Pads were perfectly paved and level. Safe atmosphere with gated access," notes a recent visitor about the Riverview property.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Sundance Camp offers tiny cabins with modern amenities including cold air conditioning and retro-modern styling, while other properties like Little Glasses Resort & Marina provide more traditional accommodations. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when Lake Texoma sees peak visitation. Pet policies vary by location - Riverview RV and Recreational Park allows pets, while others may restrict animals. A visitor at Sundance Camp noted, "We stayed in one of the tiny cabins, which had very nice amenities, cold AC, and a retro modern vibe."
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary significantly between properties - some offer only fire pits or grills, while others may include microwaves or small kitchenettes. Several campgrounds maintain on-site markets where basic provisions can be purchased, including Riverview RV and Recreational Park, which operates a general store and offers firewood for purchase. Eisenhower State Park, though slightly farther away in Denison, Texas, includes a marina store where additional supplies and snacks are available. For more substantial grocery needs, visitors should stock up before arriving at their cabin.
Best Cabin Campgrounds near Calera (31)

"We parked the truck sideways in the entrance to our site. It had a picnic table and fire ring. The pad was asphalt and had a drop-off on the door side so we had to prop up the stairs."
"Trees provided much needed shade, yet enough for solar to stay charged. Restrooms were close, showers were a little bit of a walk. Each tent site has a table and fire pit."

Nice Park!
Not too far from Highway 75 and the Choctaw Resort. Parking for registration is located right next to the office. All the park staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. The road from the highway to the park is easy to navigate for any size rig. The same inside the park; it's well-marked and easy to navigate. No road noise- very quiet.
First things first - be prepared for a longer-than-usual registration process. I've never had a registration process require as much information, or take as long as this one did. You will need the driver's license of every person in your party - adults and teenagers. They will scan and retain each of them. You will need to provide actual copies of the insurance policies for both your RV and your tow (or Toad) vehicle, along with the license plate numbers for all vehicles. If you are using a Good Sam's discount, make sure that you have the membership number and expiration date.
Most check-in procedures at parks take a couple of minutes, but not here. Thank goodness we were the only ones checking in, or it would have been a lengthy ordeal. So, be prepared in advance and have all of this with you to speed up the process. At first, I couldn't figure out why they required all of this information, then it dawned on me- this is predominantly a park for full-time residents, and that would be the information they'd require of people living there.
It's off the beaten path, so you're not going to get that many travelers. As we walked through the park, I noticed that close to 100% of the rigs are full-timers. In my experience, most parks that cater to full-timers are kind of sketchy and don't really appeal to travelers - not this one. This is labeled as a resort, and it probably is the nicest RV park that we've ever visited that is predominantly full-timers.
Please don't have any reservations about staying here, as you will feel welcome. We were assigned to pull-through site number 40. All the sites are concrete and appear level. Power, Water, and Sewer were all conveniently located, and the power supply had no issues at all. We use a power management system, and all electrical parameters were spot on during our stay. Water pressure was very good, and the in-ground sewer connection was conveniently located.
Bathrooms, Showers, and Laundry are all located on the back side of the office building and are in great shape with a keyed entry. There is great Wi-Fi in the park with repeaters near all the sites. We had AT&T 5G with 2 bars. Starlink reception was not an issue due to no large trees. Their website lists all of the amenities, and I've included photos of the park. Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay. This park deserves its high rating, and I would not hesitate to recommend it- enjoy!

Very fun RV camping
RV Camp sites are super nice and well spaced. Really cool fossil sites near the lake shore. Nice huge lake. And really good trails (for North East Texas).

Lake front site
Love our stay at Lake Murray. The park was very quiet while we visited. We opted for a back in sit along the lake. The site was plenty big enough for our 27 ft trailer and tow vehicle.

Relaxing near the city
Not far from Fort Worth, but feels miles away when you are there! Big beautiful lake you can enjoy and fish, large park and volleyball courts. My only complaint was our ‘double’ site barely fit my sisters one camper. If we weren’t tenting we probably wouldn’t have had room so wouldnt recommend that specific site for two campers. Also don’t drink alcohol outside of your camper or vehicle the rangers will get on to you for it

Eisenhower State Park Campground
Nice park overall. Clean and secure.
I’ve been here several times over the last few years (latest oct 2025). I like the hiking trails and the amazing beauty of the outdoors. The lake is pretty and probably fun to fish or boat on. I didn’t do this while I was there. There is a small onsite store. The roads are maintained and paved and the campsites are very nice sized with long parking spots for campers. Some tent sites have power and some even have large screen shelters. The park is monitored by state police throughout the day and night and that is good to keep the trouble away.

Guide to Calera
Cabins near Calera, Oklahoma provide waterfront access along the 89,000-acre Lake Texoma, which forms part of the Texas-Oklahoma border. The lake serves as the 12th largest Corps of Engineers lake in the United States and offers sandy beaches despite being approximately 620 feet above sea level. Summer temperatures often reach 90-100°F, while winter nights frequently drop below freezing.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Lake Texoma offers excellent fishing for stripers, catfish, bass, and crappie. Paradise on Lake Texoma provides waterfront access. "Lots of spots directly on or near the lake," notes a camper who rated their experience highly.
Hiking trails: Several trails wind through the area with varying difficulty levels. Eisenhower State Park features multiple paths along limestone cliffs. A visitor commented, "The trails are great and the Rangers are friendly and share a lot of knowledge. Cool beach with caves."
Swimming areas: Sandy beaches and coves provide swimming options throughout the warmer months. "Swimming area and trails along the cliffs are exquisite," mentions a day visitor about Eisenhower State Park, which maintains designated swimming zones from spring through fall.
What campers like
Secure camping environment: Many properties offer gated access for added security. Riverview RV and Recreational Park provides a controlled entry point. "Safe atmosphere with gated access," writes a recent visitor who appreciated this feature.
Well-maintained facilities: Clean bathrooms and shower facilities rank high on camper priorities. "Bathrooms are always clean. Fellow campers are very friendly," mentions a regular visitor to Eisenhower State Park.
Level sites: Many campgrounds feature carefully prepared camping pads. "Nice level pads, full hookups and a view of the river," notes a camper who stayed at Riverview RV and Recreational Park for an extended period.
What you should know
Water hookup distance: At some locations, water connections require extra-long hoses. Paradise on Lake Texoma has this setup at certain sites. "Fair warning, the water hookups are FAR from the site. Do not under estimate how far these things are. With 75ft of hose - we were barely reaching the nozzle," warns a camper.
Beach conditions vary: While sandy beaches exist, not all are well-maintained. "The thing keeping this place from earning 5 stars, is the uncleanliness of said beaches. Pieces of metal, glass, and garbage were all over the place," reports a Paradise visitor.
Reservation requirements: Peak times require advance planning. Eisenhower State Park fills quickly during summer months. One visitor noted, "I preregistered and thought I was ready to go. The gate guard said I still had to go inside to check-in."
Tips for camping with families
Group camping options: Little Glasses Resort & Marina accommodates larger family gatherings with spacious sites. "The lake views are beautiful, some sites are huge with lots of space and some not so much," mentions a visitor who brought their family.
Proximity to supplies: Stock up before arrival but know emergency options. "Walmart is like 5-10 minutes from camp in the event you forgot something," notes a repeat visitor to Little Glasses Resort & Marina.
Safety considerations: Check beach areas before allowing children to play. A visitor at Paradise on Lake Texoma cautions, "Pieces of metal, glass, and garbage were all over the place. Was not a place we could sit down and enjoy."
Tips from RVers
Road conditions: Interior roads at some parks require slow navigation. Thousand Trails Lake Texoma has some maintenance concerns. "The roads within the park itself could use some serious attention," advises a recent visitor.
Electrical testing: Check pedestals before setting up completely. "The first spot I chose had a bad pedestal, so I had to pick up and choose another spot. I would definitely recommend checking the pedestal before unpacking," warns a Thousand Trails camper.
Cell coverage: Most parks maintain adequate service for those needing connectivity. "Verizon service was good, along with T-Mobile. Even better with my cell booster," reports a Thousand Trails visitor who needed to stay connected.
