Best RV Parks & Resorts near Alvord, TX

My wife and my 2 kids had a blast one of the best rv resorts in the dfw area the kids loved the water park and the pools 10 outta 10 will come again

Very clean and well kept RV park. Close to town, but feels secluded enough. Great experience for long-term camping.

We stayed three days at Northlake Village over the Thanksgiving holiday in 2021. We had a family gathering to go to in Keller, Texas and this RV park was convenient. From my own observations, it looks like this particular park caters to long term rentals more than it does short term. While staying here we met a few'residence' who had been there for months. Despite this, the grounds are well maintained and so are the facilities; pool, fitness room, laundry and bathrooms. Because it was a holiday (Thanksgiving) the rental rate was quite high. So, I expected a very nice place. So, it was disappointing to discover that the FREE WiFi didn't work. The office was not open due to the holiday, or perhaps Covid. So, I didn't bother to see if it could be fixed. I have a sneaky suspicion that the WiFi service we were given to connect to is not the one that long term renters get to use. In the future, I will look for another RV park.

I know I am a bit biased because I do only tent camping. But I never turn away a good RV park to check out for friends or followers who ask me for advice on their travels. This one is right in my backyard so I wanted to make sure everyone knew it was out there!!

The facility itself has a lot of sites for rigs both small and large. The owners are extremely nice and are very welcoming. As a result of their great attitudes and welcoming demeanor they do have a lot of people who call this place home long term. This place has a sense of community because people are neighbors instead of just all passers through.

It offers a laundry and shower facility mid camp and a propane station just in front of the office on the road toward the community of Sunset. There is another entrance on the opposite side along the highway access road but you will have to pull all the way through the camp to get to the office.

I noticed that for the most part the grounds are even for RVs however there are a few areas where it does dip off a bit. Some of the long term campers do not maintain their rigs to the same standards as the travelers so those areas look a little less kept, but that is very similar to a lot of RV areas which offer long term stay.

There is a store very close, although the camp itself doesn't have one but everything else appears to be in place. There are not as many amenities for the kiddos although there is a small playground here.

The campground host and the easy access to the highway makes this one a good stop when passing though this area, you can easily access it from both sides and it is easy to locate on GPS.

(Photos were taken in July so it is a bit more dry than it is during most months as we have been experiencing a heat wave)

TIPS:

• Book ahead of time and take advantage of any specials they might have. They currently are offering a discount on services when you stay a month.

• Check out the proximity to the LBJ Grasslands which have hiking, fishing and boating only a short distance from the campground.

• Closest chain grocery store is about 8 miles north in Bowie or 7 miles south in Alvord so if you aren't wanting to pull in and then have to leave you might want to get your supply stop in before you arrive.

This RV Camp is conveniently located between the this bustling cities of Azle and Lake Worth.

2 minutes from Fort Worth nature center. 10 minutes to eagle mountain lake and lake worth. All sites have full hook ups, easy in and out and some pull through. Green grass, trees and flowers. Site is well maintained and has a country feel that’s close and convenient to all points in the metroplex.

I have seen this place a million times living in the community nearby and never thought to check to see if they all tent campers. I was shocked to find out they do accommodate them so I passed through and checked out the grounds and wanted to let people know it exists!

There are two entries at the front of the property each easily accessed from the highway. Though they are gravel they are easy to navigate but do hold a little water in the rain. As you drive into the camp there are 4 main rows of camping, mostly in use by RVs however they do also accommodate tent campers. These sites can be picked up nightly or for more long term use so many people at this park have called this their home for a bit. Despite obvious signs of the long term dwellers, the grounds are clean and well maintained and don't look cluttered like some long term campgrounds will begin to look.

The site offers nice restrooms with showers, a bbq for general use, a rec room perfect for having your breakfast or dinner or perhaps a game of cards with friends and has connections for RVs up to 50 amp as well as a dump station.

For the tent camper sites are wide enough to be comfortable to move around and have scattered picnic tables. The tent camping sites are located on a grassy area next to the pond so they are not squished between big rigs and have a bit more privacy.

This site might not look as elaborate as some, but it more than makes up for the few things you do not have by its friendly staff and on site mechanic.

TIPS:

• Call in advance if looking for an RV site, they do have several spaces available but during certain times of the year they do fill up as they are centrally located to many things.

• Check out the LBJ Grasslands which are nearby when visiting this location, a great get away for some outdoor activities.

This is mainly an RV site however they do have a few sites for tents. Tents and vans are only $20 per night with full access to amenities. RVs are $35 per night and they do make concessions for long term stay as well.

Something that sets this apart from other locations in the area is it provides a small store for those staying and also access to storage for recreational vehicles. It also has on site propane sales so if you happen to be in an RV you do not have to worry about finding supplies elsewhere.

I enjoy the pool at this stop perhaps the most. It is rare that it is busy despite also allowing non campers to for a small fee swim.

Bathrooms and showers are available in the main building however they also have a clubhouse which can be used for a fee that includes a kitchen which makes it feel like a more complete campground experience.

This is one of the most popular roadside stops in this area because of its amenities.

Tips:

• Call ahead for long term camping sites - also available are campers available to rent when available

• Each site is metered for long term campers so they will have direct feed to electricity and is pay by the month by the meter

• Store here offers a variety of household items as well as food items. If you aren't fully prepared when you arrive this store is very helpful but a little higher than marketstores

This place fits me. Dog park, horse stall rentals, storage unit rentals, recreation room, bathrooms and showers, tiny home rentals. Most people stay here long term. Country feel but not far from Walmart, gas stations, eateries, etc...

We did social distancing this weekend, and this park was awesome! Full hook ups and clean areas to camp!

Close to shopping. Full hook ups with trees galore. Quiet. Large coach accommodations with multiple pull thru sites. Large roadways allow easy access to the sites.

I remember going to this place when I was younger. It seemed so large and always had a lot going on that was interesting. We hosted a summer camp here, went to company picnics and came out with friends. It was the resort type feel without the huge resort style price.

Now that I am older I wanted to check it out to see if it lived up to the hype I recalled from childhood when the pool and the boats on the beach seemed to give me life on hot summers. Now I look at things from the eye of a camper which notices amenities differently, blogs about budget travel and explores the outdoor spaces.

When I pulled in I spoke to person at the entry who gave me a basic rundown of the facility which included a small restaurant, atv area, sports area including mini golf and a pool and of course the camping experience options themselves which have grown since I last was here. There are cabins available and RV spaces however they do allow a tent in these spaces as well, of course you are paying for a full hook up site so your price is a bit more than primitive camping, which is located in a space close to the bank of the water.

This is a pretty large property!! Over 200 sites available and several cabin options so anyone trying any kind of adventure can find something they will be interested in. The price of your site covers a lot of activity space and also has some very nice shower and bathroom facilities to make your trip comfortable.

Some of the downside is maintenance! You can tell this is an older facility in way of the broken roads and potholes. Also some of the facility amenities and furnishings are in need of an update. Some of the picnic tables were in need of replacement and looked like they had been used pretty heavily over the years. Not all the facility looks like this but in he areas like the primitive camping it seemed a bit more obvious, sometimes I feel like just because you aren't wanting all the amenities they think of you as a second class citizen at campgrounds.

It is pretty busy during early summer, when I had checked it out and more so during the holidays such as July 4th, Memorial Day and Labor Day. I decided to go during the week so there was no issue in getting a canoe from the rentals but on the more busy weekends I was told it is first come first serve.

TIPS:

• If renting a cabin do so well in advance between summer camp, family outings and normal traffic these book up quickly.

• Bring Cash for the restaurant when I was there their machine was down for cards.

• Shower Shoes!! if you don't wear them in the showers already start here!!

Look, I found this campground by total accident following signs. There is so much construction around Lewisville Lake it is difficult to get where you want to go. There are better parks around Lewisville Lake like Pilot Knoll Park.

This is mostly for RV's and camper trailers. There are a few tent sites near the beach but you are surrounded by baseball fields and city parks. It has a shower house and a laundry facility, but the campsites are stacked on top of each other.

The campground staff was very helpful.
