Many campgrounds remain open year-round with Texas climate allowing comfortable camping in all seasons except during occasional summer heat waves.

Beautiful setting along Lake Lewisville. Camped lakeside with a beach.

GuideEast Fork Park Campground
East Fork state park
The Good, level, spacious campsites with an awning over the picnic table. Great lay out for campsites. The Lake Lavon was beautiful. The not so good, the restrooms were old and not well kept up. They were not heated which probably doesn't matter most of the time in Texas but when we were there it was 20 degrees. Secondly there is dog poop everywhere, it seems that every time I stepped off of the pavement I had to clean dog crap out of my shoes.

Great spot with lake view
45-50 mins from downtown Dallas. Quiet in January. Stayed two nights, space 45. Level
Joshua M.GuideTwin Coves Park
Wonderful Family Camping!
This was the first time our family has camped two consecutive nights. My two boys 4/5 had a blast at the site, walking the trails, and finding spots to throw rocks into the lake. We were surprised at how quiet the campsites were, especially with how many people were staying in the park. P1 was great, right next to parking and the street, which was also the only minor drawback. If staying primitive, P3 is the way to go. We will definitely be back!
Lance L.GuideCedar Hill State Park Campground
RV sites are spacious
The RV sites have a full backyard in them with fire pit and easy access to hook up. The road in front feels kind of busy though, from the satellite view it looks pretty quaint but in reality it's kind of busy.
Gary S.TravelerLake Point RV Resort
Easy Access with Nice Club House/Laundry, etc.
This reservation was made over the phone and was booked by Lake Point RV manager through the RoverPass system. Military discount was applied to our reservation. The park(please note I use“park” as my description in lieu of“resort” for this stay) is easy to find and navigate. Upon arrival I called the number left on the door and did not get an answer or message service. Another camper had a good direct number and Michelle was on sight within 10 minutes, but there is no regular staffed hours at the clubhouse/office. It is one large area with gravel roads and mostly level. Sites are easy to park and adequate space for larger RV configurations. Our site required minimal east to west leveling. Full hook ups all worked at our site, but some utilities can be long runs depending on type of RV(especially sewer). Bath/shower/laundry facilities are very nice and clean. There is a small center playground area and a good dog run. We had Verizon 5G hotspot signal which was adequate for our stay. I believe there is park wi-fi, but no information was provided at registration and we did not request since our hotspot was very good. Highway traffic noise is pretty significant here, especially if parked at the front of the park. The park itself was quiet and everyone was friendly; however, there are a lot of full time/extended RVs at this location and it appears this park is losing some of its RV traveler appeal. Amazon and package deliveries were made to the park. We did venture into Gainesville, TX and found some good coffee and bakery at Sweet Jayne’s. We would highly recommend Tia’s Tex-Mex BBQ in Valley View.
