        7. Westlake Day Use

        1 Review
        3 Saves

        Overview

        Westlake features four group shelters on Lewisville Lake, where visitors can spend a day picnicking or boating on the almost 30,000-acre reservoir, just outside the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

        The lake rests above an archeological site where prehistoric remains have been found. It is believed these early humans inhabited the area as far back as 12,000 B.C., making this one of the oldest human-inhabited sites in the Southwest United States and Mexico.

        Natural Features:

        The day-use area sits on the western banks of Lewisville Lake. The lake stems from the Elm Fork of the Trinity River in northern Texas and generally has low visibility, but plenty of surface acres for boating and fishing.

        Recreation:

        The lake hosts a number of fishing tournaments each year, drawing anglers from all over to try for trophy-sized bass.

        Warm water temperatures offer ideal conditions for water sports including boating and jet skiing.

        Facilities:

        Each of the open-sided pavilions come with a large grill and water, and are all within walking distance to a restroom.

        Blackjack Oak is lakeside with large shade trees. This pavilion seats 50-75 people and has electric hookups.

        Bur Oak seats 100-150 people and has its own parking lot.

        Cottonwood is close to the shoreline, has electric hookups and seats 100-150 people.

        Green Ash sits in a large, open field and offers electric hookups. It seats 75-100 people.

        Nearby Attractions:

        Horseback riding and golfing can be found nearby. The active city of Dallas is about 40 minutes away.

          Midway Pines RV Park is indeed a gem! The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and well-maintained facilities make it an ideal spot for a relaxing getaway. I totally understand why you feel so comfortable there. Speaking of relaxing, if you're looking to pass the time while you're enjoying the serene vibes, I highly recommend checking out the Traffic Rider app. It's a fun and immersive way to experience motorbike riding through beautiful landscapes, just like the ones around the park! Give it a try during your next visit—it's the perfect way to unwind!

          Close to Nature

          I wish I could rate this campground higher because it was so peaceful with quite a bit of bushy vegetation to provide a small measure of privacy between sites. This is as close to nature as one can get in a campground!  There was poison ivy on the trees next to us and in the mowed ground around the campsite.  There were so many butterflies, flies, and other flying insects on the sunny side of our RV that it made entering and exiting through the sliding door very difficult. And, the ANTS! After one night in our site, the ants had formed an active trail to the top of our RV. Consequently, we had ants inside the RV!

          The roads inside the campground need to be repaved.

          The camp host and the park ranger were both very friendly and informative.

          Laid back

          If you like a laid back approach to camping, this place is it.  They advertise "farm fresh eggs" at the bait shop, and though we didn't partake, we know they were serious because of the chickens that were roaming the grounds.  One of them inspected the storage bay of my travel trailer while I was setting up!  We arrived about 4 p.m., and there was no one around to check in with, I think because of a family emergency of some sort.  So I just picked one of the open RV lots and backed in.  When I did check in later with Amy, she said "no problem" with the lot I picked.  Like I say, "laid back"!

          Overall good free spot right on the water. We weren’t quite level on the road but nice to have bathrooms with running water and picnic tables right outside. Sign said you can stay for multiple nights.

          East Fork Park Campground

          Functional with good views

          Pros: Great views of the water and wildflowers in the meadows. Reasonable price. Everything works and the shaded picnic tables are a plus. 5G plus signal on ATT for anything you might need online. Downsides: It looks like there could be a lot of water pooled on and behind our site with a heavy rain. The pad has definitely broken up over time and isn't level. The fire pit is also sitting at an angle. We noticed two groups of campers with 4-6 extra cars having gatherings last night, so that might have been distracting if we were right next to them.

          Weatherford-Fort Worth West KOA

          Needs some work

          Generally I’ll stay at a KOA for a night when traveling through. They are like McDonald’s, nothing special but you know what to expect. This one was below par even for a KOA. We arrived just at 5:00 pm but the office was already closed. Didn’t see any staff before we left in the morning. Out checking information was available on the bulletin board. A sign said there were no more available sites, but there were clearly over 40 empty spaces. Many of the sites need new picnic tables, and the trees are full of dead branches. However the grass was mowed. Sites are very close together. Closer than most. There is a grassy dog park. There is also the a playground- a swing set! Also a pool which appears functional. Bathroom and showers were adequate. !

          There is an RV repair facility next door.

          We screwed up and booked a different spot and our camper was too long. Oakdale was able to accommodate us on short notice. The staff was friendly and informative. Our kids had a great time in the expansive pool and enjoyed the snow cone stand across the street. The adult enjoyed the well-stocked pool bar!

Despite my food items being securely locked inside my closed car, these crows favored my location the most. The scene reminded me of the intense atmosphere from Hitchcock's movie,"The Birds."

          Dodge City RV Park

          Good spot for camping

          Been there last year during out trip to Texas( mainly hiking in Britton park and a few other local trail spots and camped at Dodge City RV park)

          Pros: good clean spots for camping, everything you might need is pretty close
          Didn't try RV spots, but those looked really nice too.

          Cons: Didn't find any.

          If you gonna be visiting TX during June-July for trailing and camping - my advice is: make sure to get a pair of comfy shoes(my go-to are Brooks men's running shoes like those https://rununited.com/mens-footwear/) - trails are pretty rough and it's extremely hot and humid near bodies of water... Gotta dry your shoes every few hours

          Overall really good

          Visited Skyview in September 2023 - overall it's a solid RV park with some really nice views. We've only stayed for 2 days, but it's been really good and we've had great time.

          It's located pretty close to DFW so everything you would need is close-by(we've visited Big Bend one our first day and Gritr's gun range( https://range.gritrsports.com/ ) on second since we wanted to check out the city itself.

          Beautiful!

          Spacious sites. Shade trees, small pond, fishing, dog park, friendly staff. They have a very nice pool and hot tub. The permanent residents are nice and it’s a great little community. I highly recommend this place. There is some traffic noise since the park is close to the interstate but it didn’t bother me.

          Solid option if you're near Dallas

          Stayed there during our trip to Texas, after visiting Big Bend. Overall, pretty good spot for RVing.

          Couldn't find any photos, probably is on the camera I've left at my folks house during the trip.

          Pros: easy to find, quick booking, good view.

          Cons: can't remember any.

          Also a semi-pro is that it's located pretty close to a bunch of outdoor sports stores( https://gritroutdoors.com/ is the one we've visited most I think) so if you forgot something on your trip - it's pretty easy to pick up.

          Beautiful location and kind people

          I chose this place as a proposal location- she said yes! It was an amazing location that I enjoyed a 3 day stay at. There is black water disposal by the entrance with a hose, along with a dumpster on the road out. No water or electrical hook ups at the site but that wasn’t a worry as I brought batteries, solar, and my own water storage. I did notice the site nearby was utilizing a loud generator, so that noise was prevalent night and day throughout my stay. Other than the hum of a motor constantly mixing with beautiful nature sounds it was an incredible experience with amazing people and scenery. I would absolutely love to visit again very soon. I can’t say anything on the bathrooms, as those were shut down for the colder weather, but I brought a cassette toilet and there was no issues with that.

          I recommend this place to anyone wanting great views and kind people.
