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.

Cabin rentals dot the shoreline of Lake Texoma near Denison, Texas, with options at Eisenhower State Park, Paradise on Lake Texoma, and Cedar Mills Marina & Resort. Most cabins include electricity, air conditioning, and basic furnishings like beds and tables. Eisenhower's cabins feature screened shelters ideal for three-season use, while Cedar Mills offers waterfront units with lake views. Paradise on Lake Texoma provides more upscale accommodations with full kitchenettes and private bathrooms. Indoor plumbing varies by location, with some facilities requiring guests to use nearby communal restrooms and showers. "The screened shelters are perfect for a hammock. Simple clean sites, just how camp tenting should be," noted one visitor about Eisenhower State Park.
Rustic log cabins and modern rental units can be found throughout the Denison area's parks and private resorts. Lake Texoma RV Campground, part of the Thousand Trails network, offers cabin rentals with varying amenities alongside their camping facilities. Riverview RV and Recreational Park in nearby Colbert, Oklahoma provides cabin options with Lake Texoma access. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when the lake attracts visitors from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. According to one camper, Eisenhower State Park makes "a nice getaway weekend" that's only "an hour north of Dallas."
Most cabin rentals include beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary widely between properties - some offer only outdoor fire rings with cooking grates, while others include refrigerators, microwaves, and basic cookware. The Lodges at Fossil Creek provides more fully-equipped accommodations. Firewood is available for purchase at several locations including Riverview RV Park and Paradise on Lake Texoma. The marina store at Eisenhower State Park stocks basic provisions, fishing supplies, and snacks. Visitors staying multiple nights should consider bringing groceries from Denison, as on-site stores carry limited inventory focused on camping essentials rather than full meal ingredients.

1. Eisenhower State Park Campground
"Eisenhower is named for our former president, Dwight D Eisenhower, who was born in nearby Denison, Texas."

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.

Quick Stop while traveling
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.

Elephant Rock Campground — Lake Murray State Park
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.

RangerJohnson Branch Campsites — Ray Roberts Lake State Park
Relaxing near the city
Not far from Fort Worth, but feels miles away when you are there! Big beautiful lake you can enjoy and fish, large park and volleyball courts. My only complaint was our ‘double’ site barely fit my sisters one camper. If we weren’t tenting we probably wouldn’t have had room so wouldnt recommend that specific site for two campers. Also don’t drink alcohol outside of your camper or vehicle the rangers will get on to you for it

What to do
Hiking trails at Eisenhower State Park: Access multiple trails with varying difficulty levels, including cliff areas with distinctive rock formations. "Eisenhower State Park makes a nice getaway weekend an hour north of Dallas. Hiking trails are challenging, they are also available to mountain bikes however the trail is challenging. You can also hike on the cliffs, which is the parks unique feature," notes reviewer Vanessa M. from Eisenhower State Park.
Swimming areas: Find beach access points with varying amenities across multiple locations. "Beautiful everything! Even the bathroom is gorgeous with granite walls! Swimming area and trails along the cliffs are exquisite. Great wifi as well," reports Amie M. about her experience at Eisenhower State Park.
Group activities: Reserve areas for larger gatherings at select parks. "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," writes Amy J. about organizing activities for multiple families.
Boating and fishing: Access boat ramps at multiple cabin rental locations around Lake Texoma. "Very pretty and quiet. Get in after gate had been locked. Manager worked with us earlier in the day so we were assured that we would have access," mentions Mike M. about his experience at Riverview RV and Recreational Park.
What campers like
Well-maintained sites: Most cabin locations feature regular grounds upkeep and clean facilities. "The RV site itself(#36) was easy to back into with plenty of space for our outdoor set up," notes Taylor V. about Paradise on Lake Texoma. "Most camp sites are shaded with pull through sites full hook ups, well maintained and quiet," adds Robert H. regarding Eisenhower State Park.
Accessible water views: Many cabins provide direct access to lake views or waterfront positioning. "RV lots are roomy, and the park is active and neighborly, and the evenings are peaceful and quiet. Grounds are well kept and the staff are very accommodating," mentions Frank S. about Paradise on Lake Texoma.
Security features: Several resorts offer gated access and 24-hour staff. "Roads and Pads were perfectly paved and level. Safe atmosphere with gated access. Highly recommend," writes Nick & Allyssa S. about Riverview RV and Recreational Park. "Campground feels safe. Picnic tables, bathroom, and laundry is available," adds Bailey C. about Cedar Mills Marina & Resort.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most cabin rentals require advance booking, particularly during peak season. "Starting with just making the reservation. By far the easiest process for booking a site we have ever experienced. The website is well organized and very descriptive when explaining the amenities of each site," explains Taylor V. about Paradise on Lake Texoma.
Weather considerations: The area experiences hot summers and occasional storms. "In the summer it gets very hot, nice hiking," warns Alice R. about Eisenhower State Park.
Accessibility challenges: Some locations have terrain issues for mobility-impaired visitors. "The swim area in this park is down a pretty steep gravel trail that I had a hard time navigating. There is very limited bank access since the park sits about 50 feet up from the water line," notes Dude R. about certain areas of Eisenhower State Park.
Marina services: Several cabin locations offer on-site stores with limited supplies. "There is a boat ramp, store, food truck, fuel for your boat and bait located at the marina," explains a reviewer about Walnut Creek Resort.
Tips for camping with families
Check beach conditions: Some beach areas require cleanup or have safety concerns. "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. Was not a place we could sit down and enjoy," cautions Taylor V. about Paradise on Lake Texoma.
Consider cabin proximity: Cabins at some locations are positioned close together with limited privacy. "The tiny cabin village and RV areas are nicely developed, and everything is lit up at night for easy navigation. However, the cabins are all very close to each other and you can see inside each of the cabins," notes LaRee S. about Sundance Camp.
Prepare for evening activities: Some locations have limited night programming. "The neighbors were all chill. Fire pits and grills at each site. Bathhouse was clean and stocked," adds LaRee S. about Sundance Camp's evening amenities.
Tips from RVers
Water hookup distances: Some sites require extra-long hoses to reach water connections. "For RV site, some require at least a 50' hose for water. Others are closer to the water. Electric is located close by sites. Some sites also have sewer," advises Chris P. about Paradise on Lake Texoma.
Electrical reliability: Check power stability, especially during peak usage periods. "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," warns Holly N. about Lighthouse RV Resort & Marina.
Site selection considerations: Some locations offer first-come, first-served sites. "The road into and around the park was okay, there was room to drive around the entire park while looking for a spot. The spot's varied in size and there were no fire pits or grills provided by the park in the spots that we were able to see," explains Matthew about Thousand Trails Lake Texoma.
