We were in the walnut loop, spot 52 and it was awesome. Plenty of room and the site backs up to the lake so we could walk a path from our site to the lake to fish.

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.

Do Drop Inn RV Resort
Nice Park!
Not too far from Highway 75 and the Choctaw Resort. Parking for registration is located right next to the office. All the park staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. The road from the highway to the park is easy to navigate for any size rig. The same inside the park; it's well-marked and easy to navigate. No road noise- very quiet.
First things first - be prepared for a longer-than-usual registration process. I've never had a registration process require as much information, or take as long as this one did. You will need the driver's license of every person in your party - adults and teenagers. They will scan and retain each of them. You will need to provide actual copies of the insurance policies for both your RV and your tow (or Toad) vehicle, along with the license plate numbers for all vehicles. If you are using a Good Sam's discount, make sure that you have the membership number and expiration date.
Most check-in procedures at parks take a couple of minutes, but not here. Thank goodness we were the only ones checking in, or it would have been a lengthy ordeal. So, be prepared in advance and have all of this with you to speed up the process. At first, I couldn't figure out why they required all of this information, then it dawned on me- this is predominantly a park for full-time residents, and that would be the information they'd require of people living there.
It's off the beaten path, so you're not going to get that many travelers. As we walked through the park, I noticed that close to 100% of the rigs are full-timers. In my experience, most parks that cater to full-timers are kind of sketchy and don't really appeal to travelers - not this one. This is labeled as a resort, and it probably is the nicest RV park that we've ever visited that is predominantly full-timers.
Please don't have any reservations about staying here, as you will feel welcome. We were assigned to pull-through site number 40. All the sites are concrete and appear level. Power, Water, and Sewer were all conveniently located, and the power supply had no issues at all. We use a power management system, and all electrical parameters were spot on during our stay. Water pressure was very good, and the in-ground sewer connection was conveniently located.
Bathrooms, Showers, and Laundry are all located on the back side of the office building and are in great shape with a keyed entry. There is great Wi-Fi in the park with repeaters near all the sites. We had AT&T 5G with 2 bars. Starlink reception was not an issue due to no large trees. Their website lists all of the amenities, and I've included photos of the park. Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay. This park deserves its high rating, and I would not hesitate to recommend it- enjoy!

Very fun RV camping
RV Camp sites are super nice and well spaced. Really cool fossil sites near the lake shore. Nice huge lake. And really good trails (for North East Texas).

Hidden Cove Park & Marina
Great for first-timers and families
I stayed at Hidden Cove Park for 1 night in February with 2 kids. Overall, this spot is really nice. The campsites are clean, spacious, and close to the lake. You can walk right down and fish from the bank, and the views are calm and peaceful. Although the wind was so strong, we didn’t get much fishing done.
The setup is convenient too. There’s a water spigot at the site, a picnic table, nearby bathrooms that were decently clean, and a trash dumpster close by.
Privacy is the biggest downside. The campsites are pretty close together, so you’re definitely gonna see and hear your neighbors. I had some loud neighbors and had to ask them to turn the music down. Then at 12:01 AM… the same folks fired up an electric saw to cut firewood, which definitely messed up my rest. Not really the park’s fault, but the layout doesn’t provide much separation, so your experience depends a lot on who’s around you.
For those wondering about cost, it’s$25/night, which is a good deal for the amenities. But parking is another$20. I don’t understand that, but OK. With fees, my total came to about$70, plus another$5–6 for firewood.
Since the parking lot is nearby, you’ll see headlights shining through at night when cars pass. Not a dealbreaker, just something to know.
On the flip side, being close to the parking lot is actually good and the 2–3 minute walk made hauling gear easier.
No bugs at all while I was there. It was too windy to fish, but the kids still had a great time. There’s also a basketball court, volleyball area, and a hiking trail.
The restaurant was closed, which wasn’t a big deal, but would’ve been nice. They do sell firewood at the front for a good price.
I also love that it’s only 15 minutes from home, but it feels like a world away. That alone makes it a great little reset spot.
This is a great place for first-time campers, families, or even solo trips when you just need to get away for a bit.

Lots of activities boat/ horseback riding/hiking. We Just stopped on our way from Kansas City to Austin. Very quiet in March. Not sure about the rest of the time.

Lake front site
Love our stay at Lake Murray. The park was very quiet while we visited. We opted for a back in sit along the lake. The site was plenty big enough for our 27 ft trailer and tow vehicle.

Guide to Caddo National Grassland
Cabins near Caddo National Grassland range from primitive structures to fully equipped lodging options. Situated at elevations averaging 700 feet above sea level, the area experiences hot summers with temperatures often exceeding 95°F and mild winters. Water access varies significantly among properties, with some cabins requiring guests to bring their own water supply during drier months.
What to do
Hiking trails: Eisenhower State Park offers several trails with varying difficulty levels for day hikers and overnight campers. Susan F. notes, "The trails are great and the Rangers are friendly and share a lot of knowledge. Cool beach with caves." The park maintains well-marked paths suitable for most fitness levels.
Boating access: Cedar Mills Marina & Resort provides direct lake access for boaters with rental equipment available. William N. reports, "Excellent place to spend a few nights. Friendly staff, nice lakeside restaurant, and clean level sites." The marina maintains launching facilities open year-round.
Fishing spots: Lake Texoma supports multiple fish species including striper and catfish. According to Nathan W. at Thousand Trails Lake Texoma, "We love this place... the spots are not far from the water and fishing areas but the fishing is good here." Fishing licenses are required and can be purchased at several marina locations.
Swimming areas: Ray Roberts Lake State Park features designated swimming areas with nearby cabin accommodations. Joyce L. describes the experience: "The sites are so well manicured... they're cut in a way that gives you privacy. The sites are fairly close together but the grass makes it feel like you have your own little oasis." Swimming areas typically close at sunset.
What campers like
Peaceful environment: Many cabin campers appreciate the quiet atmosphere at lake locations. Frank S. at Paradise on Lake Texoma shares, "The RV lots are roomy, and the park is active and neighborly, and the evenings are peaceful & quiet. Grounds are well kept and the staff are very accommodating."
Marina convenience: Cabins near marina facilities offer additional amenities. Bailey C. notes about Cedar Mills Marina, "Campground feels safe. Picnic tables, bathroom, and laundry is available." Marina-adjacent cabins typically cost $20-30 more per night than standard cabins.
Lake views: Waterfront cabins provide direct views and access to Lake Texoma. Amy C. from Walnut Creek Resort shares, "The campground is tucked away in a woodsy area of Lake Texoma, our waterfront spot had a beautiful view & the sound of the fish jumping all around with the birds was quite serene!" Waterfront cabins typically require booking 2-3 months in advance during summer.
Shade coverage: Tree-lined sites offer relief from summer heat. Robert H. observed at Eisenhower State Park Campground, "Most camp sites are shaded with pull through sites full hook ups, well maintained and quiet." Shaded cabin sites are in high demand during July and August.
What you should know
Site levelness: Some cabin areas have uneven terrain that may pose accessibility challenges. Amy C. notes about Walnut Creek Resort, "The one thing I didn't care for was the levelness of our spot, it was a little touch & go with my mother & her walker."
Water hose requirements: Paradise on Lake Texoma requires extended water hookup equipment for some sites. Taylor V. advises, "Fair warning, the water hookups are FAR from the site. Do not under estimate how far these things are. With 75ft of hose - we were barely reaching the nozzle."
Beach conditions: Some lakeside areas require maintenance attention. Taylor V. reports, "The thing keeping this place from earning 5 stars, is the uncleanliness of said beaches. Pieces of metal, glass, and garbage were all over the place."
Check-in processes: Some parks have complicated registration procedures. Chris P. shares about Eisenhower State Park, "I preregistered and thought I was ready to go. The gate guard said I still had to go inside to check-in. They couldn't find all of my info and it took forever to get straightened out."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several cabin locations offer play areas for children. Chris H. from Johnson Branch Campsites shares, "The other nice thing from our site, was that we were about 1/4 mile from a little playground for the kids. The playground wasn't anything grand, but it broke up the days for the kids some, which as all parents know is a gift."
Group camping options: Larger family gatherings can use dedicated group sites. Amy J. notes about Eisenhower State Park, "Our big group has gone to Eisenhower twice. The park is on Lake Texoma. We went to kayak and camp. They have good hiking trails, great campsites, and lots to do."
Educational programs: Rangers at state parks often provide nature programs suitable for children. According to Sarah E., "We learned what native plants we can eat!" Programs typically run weekends during summer months and require no advance registration.
Beach accessibility: Not all swimming areas are equally accessible for families. Dude R. cautions, "The swim area in this park is down a pretty steep gravel trail that I had a hard time navegating. There is very limited bank access since the park sits about 50 feet up from the water line."
Tips from RVers
Site privacy: Cabin camping areas often share space with RV sites that offer varying privacy levels. Robert M. notes about Riverview RV and Recreational Park, "Nice level pads, full hookups and a view of the river. Gated security, general store, propane and shower houses."
Road conditions: Interior roads at some properties require careful navigation. Jan S. advises, "Their WiFi was sketchy, there was no cable but 7 OTA channels were found. Verizon 4G service was 2-4 bars. It was very quiet except pm the weekends when there was a fair amount of plane noise on the airstrip."
Seasonal variations: Occupancy levels change dramatically between weekdays and weekends. Laura N. reports, "I've been here several times over the last few years. I like the hiking trails and the amazing beauty of the outdoors. The lake is pretty and probably fun to fish or boat on."
Electrical reliability: Some older cabin and RV areas experience power issues. Holly N. cautions, "MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. We had to have the maintenance crew come out to fix our electrical hookups and learned through this ordeal that many other people were having the same problem."
