    Shangri-La RV Resort

    Peaceful and quiet!

    We stayed here for 2 weeks over Labor Day 2020. It is a secluded, large property far away from any road noise so it is very quiet. All sites have FHU 30/50 amp. Sites are either grass or some gravel. Our site, 25, was shady, grassy and level with room for us to park our car next to our MH. The owners are pleasant and helpful. When we arrived they were on vacation but they had a woman watching the park. She told us to pick any site. Our Verizon was 2 bars of 4G and I was told that AT&T is sketchy here. There is plenty of shopping in nearby Ardmore. There is 1 set of showers, a laundry room and 3 community fire pits. There are no dog runs but it seems nobody pays attention to the“Pets must be leashed and under control” rule. In my opinion this is one of those places where“Resort” is a misnomer. No picnic tables, cable, WiFi. Pool or other amenities associated with other RV Resorts. If you are in the area, especially for Lake Murray, you don’t need those other conveniences and enjoy peace and quiet this is a good place for you. Website is www.shangri-larvresort.com

    Thousand Trails Lake Texoma

    Not as far if you take picnic trail

    One big issue with this park is the distance to the actual lake itself. You will need a cart or be ready for a hike to the beach area as it is quite a ways from the campground. that is an issue for us as my wife is disabled and needs a walker and we have no cart. But, lucky for us we were in the B section and decided one of the days we were there to attempt the picnic walk. Well worth it, even with a walker we managed to make it down to the waters edge within 15 minutes and its an easy gradual walk. Bring a picnic basket. tables to sit at or on the waters edge.

    As for the rest of the camp, most amenities due to winter months and covid were shut down. Did see people enjoying the hot tub. The roads in many of these TT campground in the loop around Dallas do need attention so take your time going through them. We did need to use the laundry and they had ample enough machines and the basic price which was 1.50 and 1.75. The sites are nice, many shaded but snug not of other campers but trees. Some have fire pits, some do not. As with more and more campgrounds these days many annuals throughout the park.

    Red River Rose RV Resort

    Lovely but noisy

    We stayed for an overnight with our 36’ trailer. It was easy to find and we chose the easiest spot to park. Our spot had a cement pad which was mostly level. The resort is well maintained and clean. Looks like a fun location with kids. Staff was polite and helpful.

    Propane refill available on site (big plus).

    Be ready for highway noise and the occasional train whistle.

    Martin's Landing Campground — Lake Murray State Park

    Martins landing Area 1

    We grabbed sites 52 and 53, for two families! Perfect size and perfect spot right on the water- in cove like area of the lake. The sites are spread out a decent amount. There is a fire pit and grill, for charcoal grilling. There is a wooded area next to these two sites where you can go for a nice little walk. There are bathrooms, with a sink and toilets, cleaned daily, as well as showers. Tons of space for grass games and kids to run free.

    Thousand Trails Lake Texoma

    First RV camping Adventure

    First RV stay so this review is from the perspective of a family that has no experience with any RV Parks. 3 Stars is my starting point and as we stay at more campgrounds I would like to think that we will have a better understanding of what makes an RV stay "5 stars". This location is "first come/first serve" sites so for a beginner that can be a bit challenging. Working with Thousand Trails and the experience with that service was great. 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. The picnic tables have seen better days and i'm sure that is not uncommon. The 30 amp S/E/W hookups were clean and no issues with any service during the stay. There was not cable so TV was over the air antenna only. Cell coverage was fine during our stay. The park had activity areas but with COVID restrictions most were still unused. There is road to the lake that you can take to go to a small fishing pier and some rocky lake area access. The restrooms/showers were clean and the garbage bins were full but never overflowing with trash. There are multiple pools and the water appeared clear from a distance. Saw lot's of pet's and every size RV, there appeared to be quite a few long term RV sites. We would visit again since this is part of our Thousand Trails membership.

    Coffee Mill Lake Recreation Area

    Coffee Mill Lake

    I am always pleasantly surprised with 'national' organizations' campgrounds. Whether a national forest or like this one, national grasslands, they are always pretty good, and this one is no exception. The campground is small, maybe 12 sites, vault toilets decently cleaned, and multiple water spigots. There was only one other camper, but there is access to the lake at this site with a few cars in the parking lot when we arrived, so you will see people even though it is secluded on the whole. We also saw a lot of horse riders. The sites have picnic tables, fire pits and are well spaced. You basically have your pick of sites so you can choose wooded areas or open without trees.


Guide to Denison

Lake Texoma on the Texas-Oklahoma border offers campers nearly 90,000 acres of water recreation and camping opportunities near Denison. The area features limestone cliffs and wooded campsites with elevations ranging from 600-700 feet. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F, while spring and fall provide milder camping conditions with temperatures in the 70-80°F range.

What to do

Equestrian trails and camping: At Platter Flats, the campground is divided between regular camping and equestrian areas. "Half of the campground is an equestrian camp. There are great hiking trails and beautiful views. Good shady spots. We had two kids with us and we loved walking around the campground and seeing all the horses!" notes Rachael H.

Waterfront activities: The extensive shoreline of Lake Texoma provides numerous fishing spots. "Great place for fishing, water sports and camping. We had fun on Lake Texoma and will be returning. This is a small, well kept campground," shares Hope F. about Burns Run East.

Beach swimming: Eisenhower State Park offers designated swimming areas with unique geological features. "Cool beach with caves. New food trailer with great food. Great fishing on beautiful Lake Texoma. Bathrooms are always clean," reports Susan F. The beach requires navigating stairs, making accessibility an important consideration.

What campers like

Natural wildlife encounters: Burns Run West provides opportunities to spot local fauna. Mark L. notes, "This is a beautiful site with nice facilities. It is close enough for shopping and restaurants should that be needed and isolated enough to enjoy the outdoors."

Shoreline camping: Many campsites at Lake Texoma State Park offer direct waterfront access. "Our site was right on the lake. Luckily no one was in the site next to us, so we enjoyed a gentle slope down to the water. While we only had water and electric hook up, the dump station was very conveniently located. The water was fantastic for swimming right off our site!" shares Kate S.

Lakeside glamping options: Comfort-seekers looking for glamping in Denison, Texas can find upgraded accommodations at Lake Texoma RV Campground. "We loved our time here! Quiet park with activities and a lake. We had a pull through site with plenty of space for our 44' 5th wheel, truck and extra vehicle," reports Rachel P., highlighting the luxury camping options.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Summer heat requires preparation. "Not a lot of shade here, so summer would be sweltering. We stayed early October and it was great weather," advises Jon S. about Lake Texoma State Park.

Site selection factors: Some campgrounds have significant variability between sites. "Wooded sites are perfect for a hammock. Lots of choices, many close to water and some right next to docks/launches. Simple clean sites, just how camp tenting should be. If you don't have a boat you'll regret it," shares Harry H. about Eisenhower State Park.
