Murrell Park and Meadowmere Park both offer dog-friendly camping experiences within 15-20 minutes of Coppell. Dogs can enjoy swimming access in select areas of Lake Lewisville with proper supervision. The Vineyards provides pet-friendly cabin accommodations along with tent and RV sites, offering concrete pads that stay clean during wet weather. Hiking trails within these parks allow leashed dogs, though owners should watch for wildlife including occasional snakes observed in and around the lake areas. The primitive tent areas at Murrell Park feature basic amenities but provide peaceful camping experiences despite proximity to urban settings. Most campgrounds enforce quiet hours starting at 10 PM, which helps control barking and other noise. Several reviewers note that while these parks sit near populated areas, they create surprisingly secluded camping experiences with ample natural surroundings for dog walking and exploration.

GuideNice park with water, electric hookups, and showers. Located right on the water. Spots are plenty large enough for multiple cars and there are two hiking trails. Solid spot for RVs and vans that want a beautiful lake view.
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.
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!
ScoutThis is a great campground. Power was good, att service is good and the grounds are very clean. The only downside is no full hookups and the dump station is outside of the gate which they lock at 10pm and don't open again until 10am. So no getting back in while locked and you can't dump except when there are lines.
ScoutLived here long term in a THOW, quiet, peaceful, good people. Park is coming a long way, affordable, easy, close to town, no complaints.
TravelerGreat roads. You hit some well maintained gravel coming into the campsite and the sites are pretty well spaced. Only note

Hiking trails for all levels: At Cedar Hill State Park Campground, visitors can explore varied terrain. "The hiking trails were very nice though and had a lot of variation. They were being used mainly as mountain bike trails but were still plenty fun for hiking and taking in the rest of the views," notes Price T.
Lake activities beyond swimming: Fishing opportunities abound at Willow Grove Park. "Super beautiful, clean, modern campsite... There is a park with slides and swings. The lake was warm and there was a little 'beach' for swimming- I would recommend water shoes and floaties," advises Summer A.
Day-use areas for non-campers: When friends want to join for the day, many parks offer pavilions. At Pilot Knoll Park - Lake Lewisville, "The day use area is really nice with picnic benches and pavilions. This is a good camp if you care more about amenities then being in the wilderness," explains Matt S.

Wildlife awareness: Watch for Texas wildlife during summer months. "We crossed one on the road as we drove in and saw several swimming in the lake," warns Monica C. about snakes at Hickory Creek.
Reservation timing: Popular sites fill quickly. "This isn't a large park and it can be difficult to get a reservation but it is so conveniently located basically in the middle of the Metroplex," advises Courtney B. about Pilot Knoll Park.
Playgrounds and activities: Look for campgrounds with child-friendly amenities. "We hopped over for a one night trip and had a blast! Our site was right off the water with a fun view (at night) of the lake Lewisville bridge. Sites were large enough for us (tent campers) without feeling too close to our rv/camper neighbors! Our 5 & 4 year old boys loved running around, throwing rocks in the lake," shares Joshua M. about Hickory Creek - Lewisville Lake.
Seasonal considerations: Plan for Texas heat in summer. "Would recommend some sort of heater or extra layers for winter camping but wasn't terrible," suggests Price T. about Cedar Hill State Park.
Pet-friendly guidelines: For dog friendly campgrounds near Coppell, know the rules. "We brought our PUP here for our first trip as it was close to home. You don't feel like you are less than a mile from a busy shopping center," notes Jessica H. about Pilot Knoll, mentioning it's a pet-friendly destination.
Site selection for size: RV sites vary widely in accommodation. "Our spot was a nice lake front area that was very spacious and a beautiful view," reports Monica C. about Hickory Creek.
Hookup availability: Check utilities before booking. "Site #33 is for tent camping so there was no electric or water. The website said no toilets but there was a port-a-potty about 40 yards from our site along with a water spigot," explains Chuck about Murrell Park.
Water pressure issues: Be prepared with proper equipment. "I found the water pressure too strong for my class b as the pressure caused a link under my sink. Convinced me to purchase my own water pressure resistor gauge," cautions Chris P. about Pilot Knoll Park.
