Crowley, Texas lacks dedicated equestrian campgrounds, though several nearby campgrounds accommodate various camping styles. None of the campgrounds in the data collection feature specific horse corrals or dedicated equestrian facilities. Holiday Park Campground and Loyd Park offer water and electric hookups for RVs but don't provide specialized horse amenities. Sites at Holiday Park border Benbrook Lake with covered picnic tables and fire rings, making them suitable for general outdoor recreation rather than specialized equestrian activities.
The surrounding area offers trail access opportunities for day rides rather than overnight horse camping. Riders frequently use nearby parks for daytime excursions but must trailer horses in for day use. Campgrounds like Holiday Park maintain well-kept grounds with visible wildlife including deer, but lack equestrian-specific amenities such as corrals, hitching posts or wash racks. Loyd Park's spacious, wooded sites provide shaded camping areas with covered picnic tables, though the park requires a daily entrance fee per vehicle in addition to camping fees. Both parks offer fishing, swimming, and general outdoor recreation, but neither caters specifically to the needs of campers traveling with horses.

ScoutGreat COE campground on Lake Whitney with well spaced sites for trailers and tent camping. Includes a large section for equestrian campers that includes paddocks for your horse as well as trails to ride on. There are both 30 and 50 amp spots as well as tent camping sites. A boat launch, shallow swimming areas and 2 playgrounds round out this fantastic, family friendly campground!
TravelerI chose this campground for its proximity to Fort Worth, and the lake. Just far enough off the highway to diminish all noise, surrounded by hiking trails, is the well maintained Holiday Park. Offering both water and electric hookups for RVs, some with a cabin included, alongside standard campsites right at the lake shore. Bathrooms are simple, fully functional, and never too far from any site. Sites are all a good size and not too close to neighbors. Nature/Horse trails line the park, and it's fairly quiet. There's some occasional aircraft noise, but no noise from the highway. The ranger station is well staffed and by the book, all the sites are visibly well maintained, cleaned regularly.
GuideLate in the day we stopped at Lake Mineral Wells State Park, TX. We weren't sure where to go as the gate was unmanned at our arrival. We missed the turn to the campground, but a friendly and helpful Texas State Park Officer directed us how to get there. He helped us with how to make payment as well.
The campground was beautiful. It was quiet, the bathrooms were clean, and the lake was serene. There are at least 3 campgrounds, including shelters, equestrian, a loop for tenters, and a loop for larger rigs. We stayed in the Plateau loop. Even though we only stayed one night, I would go back.
TravelerThe hidden gem of Lake Whitney. Tent sites are tucked in the back of the park away from foot traffic and most vehicles. Lake front sites are perfectly located with access to the lake but not too far from hard stand bathrooms and showers. We will definitely be coming back again.
TravelerBeen to this park a couple of different times it has rock climbing boating,fishing, trails for walking, hiking. separate camping loop for tents and also separate one for horses. We have camped there in February, in June and also October
RangerBest camping ground ever! Bathrooms and restrooms are newly remodeled, everything is clean and organized. Every camp spot has its own water source and electricity hookup, makes a huge difference at the hot Texas summer days and perfect for spending the nights not in a complete dark in case you’re using only a tent without a generator. The trails are great even in the Texan summer as many of them are beside the river where you can cool off. Highly recommended for families with kids all ages!

LegendSt Patrick’s Day 2018 we head out to Cedar Hill State Park on the banks of Joe Pool Lake. Cedar Hill State Park is one big Texas State Park! With over 300 campsites you are sure to find one to your liking! A visit to the historical Penn Farm, heavy spring rains and lots of paved roads for scooting make this visit to Cedar Hill State Park a truly unique Texas State Park Visit for the Dude RV crew!
There are 5 camping loops in this park! If you are wanting a lakeside campsite there are many options. The 3 loops on the north end of the park are close to the very busy road so there is road noise all the time.
The Penn FArm exhibit is very cool for the whole family and is ADA compliant but a bit on the rough side for handicap scooters.
The day use area was in need of some work on my visit but I think the day use area has since been rebuilt.
You can see the several videos of my visit on my YouTube...DudeRV

The park also offers multiple boat ramps, kayak rentals, and a swimming beach.
GuideBeautiful little spot, only stayed a night. Walk right up to lake. Spots to our right had kayaks to put in right at campsite. Dump site on the way out. Spotted a Texas bobcat.
The Crowley area offers several camping options approximately 15-20 minutes south of Fort Worth. Situated in the Texas Cross Timbers region with elevations around 700-800 feet, this area experiences hot summers and mild winters. Most campgrounds near Crowley provide access to area lakes, though specific equestrian facilities are limited.
Explore dinosaur tracks: Visit Dinosaur Valley State Park Campground where you can see real dinosaur footprints along the river. "It's fascinating to see multiple dinosaur footprints along the river in this park," notes Moe F. The park also offers varied hiking trails as Price T. mentions: "The hiking trails were very nice though and had a lot of variation."
Fishing opportunities: Many campsites in the area provide direct access to lakes and fishing piers. At Holiday Park Campground, fishing is popular as one camper observed, "Every couple of minutes there was a 'plop' from another fish popping out of the water. If you have a small boat, you could drop in right from your site and head out across the lake."
Trail riding: Though dedicated horse camping facilities are limited, Hamm Creek County Park offers access points for day rides. "Beautiful location just southwest of Fort Worth. The grounds are well taken care of and it's a great place to fish from the bank," according to Heather F. Some riders trailer horses for day use on the trails.
Spacious sites: Loyd Park receives high marks for its generous camping spaces. According to Randy H., "All sites are paved, several are lake front, and the majority of them are well shaded. We camp here often - by ourselves, and with friends." Many campers appreciate the privacy between sites.
Wildlife viewing: The natural setting allows for abundant wildlife spotting opportunities. At Cedar Hill State Park Campground, campers regularly encounter deer. Michael C. notes, "The park is designed with small loops for 15-20 camp sites in each loop. Very little traffic right by the individual spots." Karen B. adds, "Large park with a variety of campsites. Shaded areas available. Very clean."
Waterfront access: Direct lake access is available at several campgrounds. At Plateau campground, one visitor shared, "We had a lakeview from the opposite of the road." Campers frequently mention the breeze off lakes helping to moderate temperatures during hot Texas summers.
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds in the area require advance reservations, especially during weekends and summer months. Loyd Park charges additional fees as David G. explains: "Front office has an extensive selection of grocery goods, supplies, firewood, etc. Sites have electricity and water, sewer dump is community spread across the grounds."
Weather considerations: The Texas climate affects camping conditions year-round. "Would recommend some sort of heater or extra layers for winter camping but wasn't terrible," advises one Dinosaur Valley camper. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 95°F, making shaded sites highly desirable.
Bug protection: Prepare for insects, particularly during warmer months. Jill C. cautions about Cedar Hill State Park: "Nice lake but there were fire ants and chiggers all over our campsite!" Pack appropriate insect repellent for all visits.
Kid-friendly activities: Lake Mineral Wells State Park offers multiple recreational options. Deborah C. shares, "Lake Mineral Wells state park was great for biking, hiking, swimming and fishing. We had something fun for all 6 of us." The camp store rents kayaks and canoes for family outings.

Playground access: Many campgrounds include playground facilities for children. At Northside RV Resort, one visitor mentioned, "The park was very clean with four bathroom/shower rooms and laundry room as well. The park also has a gate with a code needed to enter."
Hookup availability: Most RV sites offer water and electricity, with fewer providing full hookups. At Northside RV Resort, visitors found good setup options as Lauren Z. notes: "Gated. Level pads. Quiet. Dog park. Play ground. Wifi. Cable. Lake."
Site sizing: Check site dimensions before booking, especially for larger rigs. Arvis C. advises about Holiday Park: "Lots of sites have lots of shade" but cautions "This site had little to no shade, ac had to work very hard. Would not recommend this site in summer time."
Dumping stations: While some campgrounds offer full hookups, others provide dump stations only. "We needed to fill our freshwater tank and he pointed out on the map the two dump stations with potable water," notes one camper about orientation procedures at a local park.
