Most campgrounds enforce standard leash requirements, typically six feet or less, and request campers clean up after their pets.

    Benbrook Lake's pet-friendly trails wind through the Holiday Park area, providing morning and evening walking opportunities for dogs and their owners. The lakefront location allows dogs to cool off in designated swimming areas when temperatures rise during summer months. Wildlife encounters require careful pet management, as raccoons have been known to investigate food containers at night. Most campsites feature some tree coverage for shade, though specific sites like 97-99 offer perfect trees for hammocks alongside pets. Families with pets particularly enjoy the cul-de-sac arrangement of sites 72-75, which provide additional privacy and space for pets to relax on longer leads while maintaining distance from other campers.

      The Vineyards Campground & Cabins

      Disappointing and unnecessarily confrontational experience.

      I booked and paid for a campsite at The Vineyards in my self-contained Sprinter camper van. I checked in without issue and had already spent one night there when the park manager, Lisa, approached me while I was relaxing inside my van to inform me that my vehicle was not welcome.

      She stated that the city requires RVs to have hookups and be commercially manufactured. However, the campground’s published policies explicitly allow management to approve converted camper vans (and I am fully self-contained). It also allows for truck campers, which I suppose theoretically could have sewer hookups, but I assure you my custom converted Sprinter is more aesthetic than a truck camper, if that was her concern (no offense to my truck camper friends).

      I also could not find the city ordinance she was referring to.

      I understand that campgrounds have rules and that management has discretion to enforce them. What I don’t understand is why my reservation was accepted, why I was allowed to stay overnight, or why the situation needed to be handled so confrontationally.

      When I offered to leave if they would refund my unused second night, Lisa told me it was too late for a refund and that I might as well stay.

      So apparently my van was prohibited until refunding my money became the alternative.

      I wasn’t causing a disturbance, requesting special accommodations, or asking to use facilities I hadn’t paid for. I was simply enjoying a campsite I’d reserved and paid for.

      The campground itself is lovely, which makes the experience even more disappointing. A straightforward, respectful conversation about their policies would have been entirely reasonable. Instead, I was made to feel unwelcome at a place where I was already a paying guest.

      If you’re traveling in a self-contained converted camper van, I’d strongly recommend getting written approval before booking, regardless of whether your reservation is accepted. And given that I am now reading other complaints of the staff being rude, I might avoid this spot altogether.

      Legacy Longhorn Ranch & RV Resort

      Legacy Longhorn RV resort

      We were in town for three nights for a wedding, traveling from Southern California.

      This was by far one of the best RV parks/resorts we have ever stayed at. It had every amenity you could ever ask for. Park was very quiet and spacious.

      The owners were very gracious, and in fact offered us a ride to the wedding we were attending when Uber/Lyft became problematic. Fortunately, it worked out and we did not have to inconvenience them.

      Would definitely stay here again if we are ever in town. Outstanding.

      LBJ Grasslands Off of Forest Service Road 942

      LBJ Federal Grassland

      We followed down old Decatur Road and turn down for service Road 942. There are lots of open areas that are flat for you to camp out overnight. The road coming in is gravel, but in great shape. We parked in the shade and it’s quite pleasant outside.

      Plowman Creek

      Peaceful

      Peaceful little park that sits just outside of the lake so the cove is nice to swim in . It’s Texas so there’s plenty of ants and mosquitoes but not an unusual amount . Lots of shade so pick smart if you need starlink

    Rocky Creek Park and Holiday Park Campground offer pet friendly camping near Benbrook Lake with varying amenities for different camping styles. The lake covers 3,770 acres with a maximum depth of 70 feet, providing recreation opportunities year-round. Summer temperatures often exceed 90°F from June through September, making lakeside campsites particularly valuable for cooling off.

    What to do

    Fishing opportunities: Rocky Creek Park provides primitive tent sites near the shoreline where anglers can easily access the water. According to one camper, "It is very good for camping and kayaking around the area. It is very good for fishing as well and the campsites seem nice and clean."

    Wildlife viewing: Holiday Park Campground offers chances to observe local wildlife throughout the year. One visitor noted, "There were lots of deer out of all sizes. I came across 5 different groups of them as I was driving around taking in the entire campground."

    Swimming access: When temperatures rise, cool off in designated swimming areas. A camper at COE Benbrook Lake Mustang Park Bear Creek Campground mentioned, "It was 111° the long weekend we stayed here but we found a spot with some trees by the lake and had electricity hook ups so it was actually quite nice."

    Bicycle routes: The paved roads around the lake are ideal for cycling. A reviewer at Holiday Park observed, "Bicyclists seem to love it here as I saw dozens riding the streets."

    What campers like

    Spacious sites: Campers appreciate the room to spread out at many Benbrook Lake campgrounds. One visitor to Loyd Park noted, "Sites are spaced far apart all come with fire ring and covered picnic table."

    Lakefront views: Direct lake access is a major draw for campers. A Mustang Park Bear Creek visitor shared, "Very large park with a lot of camping options. Wildlife is abundant. Cabins with RV site. Multiple boat ramps. Full sun, shade or partial."

    Covered amenities: Most campgrounds offer protection from sun and rain. A Holiday Park camper mentioned, "Park was very well kept, grass mowed and cover over picnic table. This site had little to no shade, ac had to work very hard. Would not recommend this site in summer time."

    Clean facilities: Many visitors note the well-maintained grounds. A camper at Rocky Creek Park shared, "The campground offers some privacy as the campsites were spaced pretty far apart. Lots of shade trees and very peaceful."

    What you should know

    Weather considerations: Summer heat can be intense, making shaded sites crucial. One camper at Cedar Hill State Park warned, "Fire ants and chiggers all over! But the lake was nice."

    Seasonal closures: Rocky Creek Park has experienced flooding issues in the past. A visitor noted, "Park is nice but closed again due to flooding."

    Bathroom facilities: Amenities vary widely between campgrounds. One Holiday Park visitor observed, "The toilets and showers are showing their age, so they are not for the squeamish."

    Reservation requirements: Most sites require advance booking, especially during peak seasons. A Holiday Park camper mentioned, "Easy online check in. Friendly park staff."

    Tips for camping with families

    Cul-de-sac sites: For families wanting extra privacy with pets, specific site locations make a difference. At Holiday Park, a reviewer recommended, "Our site, 73, was a pull-through, as were several, but some were back in. The CG was very quiet and peaceful."

    Nature exploration: Kids enjoy discovering local wildlife and ecosystems. A visitor at Dinosaur Valley State Park shared, "Been here a few times and absolutely love it. Kids like it as well. Plenty of hiking trails and some wading water running through the place."

    Swimming spots: Family-friendly swimming areas provide relief from summer heat. One Loyd Park camper noted, "They have a big beach, park area to enjoy. Staff is friendly."

    Pet management: Families with dogs should prepare for wildlife encounters. A Holiday Park visitor advised, "Of course, where there are deer there are ticks. Make sure to use insect repellent and give yourself a check."

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection: Choose sites with adequate shade for summer camping. A Holiday Park RVer noted, "We were in site #05. This site had 50 amp electric and water. Lots of sites have lots of shade."

    Navigation challenges: Some parks have tight turns or low-hanging branches. According to a Holiday Park RVer, "The CG roads are paved, but narrow and a little winding in places. The registration card says to watch for branches if your RV is over 12' tall, but there were several branches much lower than that leaving site 73."

    Connectivity options: Cell service and internet access vary by location. One Holiday Park reviewer mentioned, "AT&T coverage was pretty good with 2 bars of LTE service and speeds up to 17 MB/s. We had a clear view to the N at the site, so Starlink was fine with speeds up to 20 MB/s."

    Leveling considerations: Check site descriptions before booking. A Holiday Park visitor observed, "The sites themselves all seemed mostly level. The CG was very quiet and peaceful."
