Holiday Park Campground welcomes pets at its spacious sites along Benbrook Lake, with both electric-only and water/electric hookups available for tent and RV campers. Numerous review reports indicate the park is clean, well-maintained, and offers covered picnic tables at each site. The campground features numerous lakefront camping options where dogs can enjoy water access, though all pets must remain leashed throughout the park. Rocky Creek Park and Mustang Park Bear Creek also permit pets, with the latter offering significant shade from its numerous trees, making it ideal for summer camping with animals. Sites are spread far apart providing good spacing for pet owners concerned about neighbor proximity. Many campsites throughout these Benbrook area parks can accommodate larger RVs and offer pull-through options, though pet owners should note some parks have seasonal closures.
Multiple hiking and walking paths surround Benbrook Lake, providing excellent exercise opportunities for dogs during morning and evening hours when temperatures are cooler. Wildlife encounters are common in these parks, with numerous deer sightings reported throughout the camping areas, so keeping dogs leashed is essential for both wildlife and pet safety. Dogs attracted to water will appreciate the lake access at Holiday Park, where pets can cool off during hot Texas days. The campgrounds enforce quiet hours which apply to barking dogs as well. Several parks feature bathroom and shower facilities of varying quality, though they remain functional for overnight stays. Fort Worth's urban amenities, including veterinary services and pet supply stores, remain within easy driving distance of all Benbrook Lake camping options, offering security for campers with pets who might need emergency services.

Gorgeous views, tons of hiking trails. Beautiful established sites. Busy on weekends but still plenty of space! Perfect spot for any set up! Downside is that there’s tons of broken glass all over the site we were at :((

While visiting family in Springtown, Texas for a couple weeks we slipped away for a night to check out this SP. The staff was extremely friendly at check-in, recommending a great site by the lake. After we settled in we hiked the Blue Trail along the lake. Beautiful evening to view the stars and watch a storm roll through off in the distance. The next day the Cross Timber Trails were closed due to wet conditions, so we explored the park on bike. The facilities and sites were clean. Definitely plan to return to explore more of this great park.

Michelle C.TravelerThe 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 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.

What to do
Fishing opportunities: Rocky Creek Park provides prime fishing spots along Benbrook Lake. "[The lake] tends to dry up in the summer, but when flooded, can garner some big bass. Better kayak area than boat area," notes camper Rob C.
Wildlife watching: North Texas Jellystone Park features a small petting zoo and numerous wildlife viewing areas.

There were lots of deer that wandered through our part of the CG," reports Ray & Terri F. at Holiday Park Campground.
Water recreation: Loyd Park offers swimming and boating access close to the DFW area. "Joe Pool lake is part of park. It's a big park, lots of good spaces... They have a big beach, park area to enjoy. Staff is friendly," writes camper TJ & Laura S.
What campers like
Spacious sites: COE Benbrook Lake Mustang Park Bear Creek Campground offers well-separated sites with natural surroundings. "The campsites offered some privacy as they were spaced pretty far apart. Lots of shade trees and very peaceful," writes Cindy M.
Peaceful environment: Cedar Hill State Park provides a natural retreat despite proximity to urban areas. "The park is designed with small loops for 15-20 camp sites in each loop. Very little traffic right by the individual spots. Easy in and out of park," explains Michael C.
Level camping pads: Cowtown RV Park provides well-maintained concrete sites. "The host bends over backwards to make your stay pleasurable, Larry escorted us to our pull through cement location and made sure we had everything we needed," explains Patrice S.
What you should know
Seasonal closures: Some Benbrook Lake parks close temporarily due to flooding or maintenance. "Park is nice but closed again," notes John T. about Rocky Creek Park.
Bathroom facilities: Facilities vary widely across area campgrounds. "The bathrooms are a little scary, but the price and the view of the lake made up for it. Nice and friendly staff," explains Tammy T. about Holiday Park.
Fire restrictions: Treetops RV Resort allows fires in designated areas, but many parks implement seasonal burn bans. "We had a fire pit and picnic table. The bath houses are nice and private," notes Jessica F., who also mentioned the park's clean facilities.
Tips for camping with families
Family-oriented activities: North Texas Jellystone offers structured entertainment for children. "We stopped by for the night after visiting the state park to meet up with some friends and I'm so glad we took the detour! The site was a little tight... but the campground was a different world. Yogi bear's world really... My friends kids had a blast," shares Danielle R.
Swimming areas: Loyd Park provides beach access and swimming options for families. "Great bike trails. Friendly staff and lovely sites, each pretty secluded from eachother. Also they have electric and water hookups," explains Cactus A.
Playground access: Several parks feature play equipment for children. "We stayed for a few nights while traveling through Fort Worth and enjoyed this park. It was a great location, quiet and had a playground for our kids," explains Emily R. about Cowtown RV Park.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Holiday Park offers varied site options for different RV needs. "This site had 50 amp electric and water. 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," advises Arvis C.
Low branches: Watch for low-hanging branches when navigating certain campgrounds. "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. We were able to navigate to avoid most of them, but one was unavailable, so be advised," warns Ray & Terri F.
Connectivity options: Most parks offer varying levels of internet access. "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," notes Ray & Terri F. at Holiday Park Campground.
