15 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Thousand Trails Lake Texoma welcomes pets at its wooded campground with spacious full hookup sites. Pets can enjoy the park's extensive grounds while owners take advantage of RV, tent, cabin, and glamping accommodations. Paradise on Lake Texoma offers similar pet-friendly options with waterfront sites where dogs can accompany owners to the beach areas. Both parks maintain pet waste stations and require dogs to be leashed when outside the RV or tent. The RV lots at Paradise are particularly spacious and neighborly with staff described as very accommodating to pet owners. Eisenhower State Park Campground and Isle du Bois at Ray Roberts Lake State Park also permit pets throughout their campgrounds with designated pet-friendly cabins. Good Shepherd RV Park provides clean, wide gravel sites with adequate grass areas for pets to enjoy.
Fishing enthusiasts with dogs appreciate the easy lake access at Paradise on Lake Texoma, where pets can join their owners along the shoreline. The picnic trail at Thousand Trails provides a manageable 15-minute walk to the water's edge, accessible even for those with mobility challenges. During summer months, early morning or evening walks are recommended due to the Texas heat, especially since many sites lack shade trees. Campers should note that while parks are generally accommodating, most require proof of current vaccinations and adherence to quiet hours to prevent excessive barking. Waggin Tail Ranch RV Park offers a specialized experience with fenced-in yards at most sites, a dog park with a pond, and even dog washing and grooming facilities for those planning extended stays.
"About 45minutes north of Dallas which makes easy entry and exit. Very clean amenities, spacious sites, better than average dog park, good amount of grass and walking trails around."
"The grounds are beautiful, with flowering trees, flowers, bushes and grasses around the patios and walking paths that make it feel more like a retreat than an RV park."
"Electric is located close by sites. Some sites also have sewer. Nice place, I shall return one day."
"It was nice the only people who had access to the water were the people who had booked a site, this is because there is a gate into the campground you must have a code for."
from $20 - $40 / night
"Wide gravel sites, wide enough to put out the mat and still park the truck next to that. Showers and bathrooms are new and very clean. Laundry is also new and only $1.50 for wash or dry."
"Nothing fancy and definitely off the beaten path."
from $55 / night
"Not the most scenic of places but quiet and fairly easy to access - highway construction was underway in June 2024."
"One big issue with this park is the distance to the actual lake itself."
"When you first drive into the park, to the left they are in the process of building an entire new section and it looks nice. I wish they would do some upkeep on the rest of the park as well."
"The only sound other than bird song is the occasional moo and some coyote yips in the distance"
"Erwin Park is a great place to visit if you're looking to spend a few days running or biking trails. Campsites are far enough apart that you have privacy yet close enough that you don't feel alone."
"Star Trails is a cozy little RV park just north of Whitesboro, TX. Full hookups with good wifi. Clean and quiet. Nice little pool, walking trails and fishing pond."
from $32 / night
"everything about the place was clean, Pet friendly, spacious sites, restrooms/showers well maintained. Friendly staff, will definitely stay again."
"Just near the entrance(1/4 mile) is a Sonic, which was very convenient during Covid days."
from $30 - $50 / night
Available this weekend
from $49 - $54 / night
"Visited this private resort on 9/14/19 for a quick night away from the city. They have a handful of full hookup RV sites and cabins. There is also a marina with a store and kayaks for rent."
"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!"
GuideThe KOA is clean and well maintained. There is lits of space for the pull throughs. Dog park is amazing, host are friendly and kind. They are very welcoming and the store is small, but clean with a little bit of everything for everyone! We will definitely be back!
TravelerSuper easy in and out. Pretty much every amenity that you would want at a very modern campground.
TravelerDisappointing 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.
TravelerRed River RV Resort (Deluxe) in Thackerville OK is a hot mess to be polite. The entire campground is covered with goathead sand burrs. It's impossible to go outside and enjoy any part of the campground. If you do go out you have to be very careful not to bring any of the sand burrs into the camper. The property owner / management knows of the campground issues but they're not doing anything to fix the issues. The pool and hot tub are disgusting, both have green slimy water with leaves, dirt and whatever else blew into it. The community room is locked and you have to ask at the office to get access. The community room has multiple TV's but none if them turn on so whats point in having them. On the good side it has two nice pool tables so its has some purpose. The gym area is packed with equipment but looks more like a storage locker than a gym.The campground has a good laundry room and okay WIFI. The showers are okay, older facilty but it all works. It has a fenced dog park but again It's covered with sand burrs so its unuseable. There's several empty/abandonded campers through out the campground. We went down the street to the local public park, sadly the park is unuseable as well due to the sand burrs being everywhere. It appears sand burrs are a bigger issue in the area and just not only at the campground. The campsites have full hook ups, some of the sewer hose tubes have caps while others don't. The neighboring campsite sewer connection didnt have a sewer cap and it has a huge wolf spider living in it.... we had planned to stay the full 14 days but leaving early due to the 8 billion sand burrs. Our dog is unable to walk in the grass, dirt, pavement without a paw full of sand burrs. I'm very disappointed C2C thinks this is a deluxe campground, I would be embarrassed to be in any way connected to it. There's other campgrounds in the area that have similar nightly cost ($40 - $50) if I was to pay outside of the C2C members rate with useable grass yards, clean useable swimming pools and community rooms. This could be an amazing campground if someone would fix the issues. As it stands now I would avoid this campground at all costs.
GuideThis is a very small campground with a central bathroom/showers up the hill from the campsites. The lake means bugs. The bathrooms were not terrible. The showers were clean-ish.
ScoutO boy o boy will you be in for a surprise at this supposedly resort style RV PARK. No trees, no covered sites, no pool or hot tub, bathrooms are covered with bugs. Office is never opened. New management sucks and get ready to sign your life away on long term contracts
ScoutFalse advertisement. Owners are not accommodating. Pool and hot tub (not a heated hot tub at all) haven’t been opened since we got here. Absolutely nothing “resort” about a residential pool with no heat in a hot tub that hasn’t opened).
Owners changed rules (require a 12-month lease that is very in depth and doesn’t pertaining to living in a RV park but more like leasing a house or apartment), pricing and everything else in a matter of 2- month. They are so bad; our property manager resigned after only 3- months here. Google reviews are all fake reviews. No trees, no covered sites, no guest/overflow parking. Dumpsters are always overflowing and owners have no one on property during the hours they have listed as their “open” hours. Photoshopped pictures on their website, I would stay clear of this place.
ScoutWe had a great time here. Lots of shade, privacy and great view of lake
GuideFolks want different things out of campsites. For me, it's scenic beauty, quiet for work and mental health, and nice places to take my dog. This checks all the boxes!
None of my reviews will be useful for amenities or activities because I just don't use them. I can't tell you about bathrooms, fishing, etc. I can tell you the water is very soft and feels slick or soapy even after you rinse. I have onboard reverse osmosis and wouldn't recommend drinking city water anywhere in Texas. There's too much oil production here and gas and chemicals are all over.
The staff at the gate were pleasant and said, "You must be David," when I pulled in, which was very nice and made it easy and welcoming.
Texas has many undiscovered and wonderful public lands, whether you're really camping or just working remote, watching the deer, or seeing the sunrise over a lake from your bedroom window. Get out here and come see them!
Isle du Bois Campsites at Ray Roberts Lake State Park offers spacious tent sites with shoreline views. Primitive camping areas in the Hawthorne campground provide secluded spots for tent campers looking to avoid crowds. The park maintains several campgrounds with varying terrain and amenities across its 29,000 acres of land and water. Most campsites are within a mile of water access points.
Fishing from the bank: Isle du Bois Campsites at Ray Roberts Lake State Park provides lake access for anglers without boats. "Sites on the perimeter all have lake access where you can pull a boat up," notes Matt S. The park's fishing piers make it convenient for families looking for pet-friendly fishing spots.
Primitive hiking: The trail systems at Eisenhower State Park offer varied terrain for different skill levels. "Great hiking park," mentions Alice R., though she cautions "in the summer it gets very hot." The trails lead to limestone cliffs and water views unique to Lake Texoma.
Winter camping: December visitors will find significantly fewer crowds at parks near Caddo National Grassland. "There are few campers here in December. Restrooms were clean. Campsites, large and private," reports Eric R. from Isle du Bois. This makes winter an ideal time for visitors seeking quiet camping with pets.
Spacious sites: Johnson Branch Campsites at Ray Roberts Lake State Park provides ample room between sites. "The sites are 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," writes Joyce L. This extra space is particularly valuable for those camping with pets.
Clean facilities: Paradise on Lake Texoma maintains well-kept grounds and buildings. "This place is beautiful and the staff is wonderful! Bathrooms are very clean," reports Jacob C. Natalie S. adds, "We came here for a fishing tournament... The sites are clean, full hookups and lake views."
Wildlife viewing: Early mornings offer the best animal sightings. "Deer will approach your campsite and you're likely to see all kinds of wildlife," mentions Tony C. about Isle du Bois. Matt S. agrees: "We have car camped on a few occasions here and each time we saw plenty of deer around camp."
Site accessibility: At Johnson Branch, "Most campsites have a lengthy walk-in distance so be prepared! Bring a cart; it'll speed things up massively," advises Joyce L. Some campgrounds require more planning than others for gear transport.
Limited shade: "Definitely bring a canopy or tarp; there isn't much cover here," notes Joyce L. about Johnson Branch. This becomes especially important during summer months when temperatures regularly exceed 95°F.
Water hookup placement: At Paradise on Lake Texoma, "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," warns Taylor V. This requires bringing extra-long hoses for RV users.
Playgrounds near campsites: Erwin Park offers convenient recreational facilities. "The park has several covered pavilions as well as restrooms but lacks shower facilities," explains James from TrueZoneCoaching. This public park has fire pits and trash cans at each site.
Swimming options: Eisenhower State Park features designated swimming areas. "Cool beach with caves. New food trailer with great food," reports Susan F. The beach areas are accessible for both pets and children during most seasons.
Trail difficulty: For families with younger children, consider timing and trail selection. "Hiking also isn't as safe" when mountain bike traffic is heavy at Erwin Park, warns Jimbo E. Weekday mornings typically offer the lowest trail traffic for safer family hiking.
Site selection: At Good Shepherd RV Park & Storage, "Wide gravel sites, wide enough to put out the mat and still park the truck next to that," reports Dick M. This extra space is important for RVers traveling with pets.
Amenities verification: Check if facilities are operational before booking. "Might have given 5 stars but both pools are shut down and it's HOT!" warns Tom C. about Thousand Trails Lake Texoma. This is particularly important during peak summer months when temperatures regularly exceed 100°F.
Power pedestal testing: "The first spot I chose had a bad pedestal, so I had to pick up and choose another spot. I would definitely recommend checking the pedestal before unpacking," advises Emerson F. about Thousand Trails Lake Texoma. This simple check can prevent frustrating setups.
