    Treetops RV Resort

    Great stay!

    We really enjoyed this park. It’s very clean and quiet. The trees are beautiful and add great shade. Most of spaces are pull through and very easy to setup at. We had a fire pit and picnic table. The bath houses are nice and private. We used the laundry services and everything worked properly. The staff is very friendly and easy to access in case you need something. Fitness room is little but updated and clean. My boys jumped in the pool even though it was 55* outside and said it was a fun experience. Easy access to Target just around the corner, Parks mall is close by and Arlington Highlands shopping is really nice! The road into the park is only 2 lanes with no shoulder, but as a Michigander I’m finding Texas roads to be interesting 😅 WiFi worked for my family of 5 the majority of the time for simple things. Hubby works remotely and went to Panera for stronger/faster service.

    We did stay in 2 spaces as we extended our stay and someone had previously booked our space.

    Hidden Cove Park & Marina

    Not just for camping!

    Clean and spacious RV sites in two areas, about 100 total and several with water view. Open and tree covered sites in both. Cabins also available, again several with water views. Two designated tent camping areas separate from RVs. Dry storage and dump station on property as well. The park offers open activity areas and covered picnic tables by the water. A 3-lane boat ramp to Lewisville Lake, rental paddle boarding, full marina, and swimming area. Seasonal restaurant with indoor & outdoor eating areas. Privately owned so there is an entry fee, but 2 or 3 levels of yearly membership passes available saves a lot! Currently upgrading to full hookup for all RV sites and wifi.

    Cedar Hill State Park Campground

    family fun

    I've been camping here plenty of times as a kid growing up in Cedar Hill, TX. My family and I would camp in the spring, early/late summer, and fall months. Plenty of sites have a campfire grill and picnic table along with electrical outlets. Good camping sites for "glampers" who have to have Internet access and electronic use. Finding/reserving a campsite is super easy at the welcome center where you pay an entrance fee to the park. Plenty of lake to share with other people at this state park. My brother would go fishing at the smaller ponds here. At some campsites, you can here the traffic passing by on FM 1382, but if you can sleep through that noise, you'll be fine. Plenty of hiking/biking trails as well. Great to bring pets. Bathrooms are available as well near many of the campgrounds.

    Cedar Hill State Park Campground

    Nice State Park

    Nice state Park. We stayed here 3 nights. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Although the park has been around awhile it is maintained well. Our site had plenty of room to the next site, had a covered picnic table, fire ring, and lantern hanger. Water pressure was 50 psi, sewer hookup was close, but electrical box was in the front and most modern RV's electrical connection in the back (30 foot cable just reached). The park is close (2.5 miles) to Cedar Hill where you can find shopping, dining, fuel, etc. Would stay here again.

    The Vineyards Campground & Cabins

    Very nice

    Our site had a concrete pad for our rv. Full hookups are very nice. While we were here nightly thunderstorms came in. The staff were on top of it as they drove around alerting everyone about the wind approaching. Clean laundry room and restrooms. We didn’t use the store due to corona fears and didn’t need to. Pet friendly. Quiet at night. I would absolutely stay here and recommend it to anyone. The only spring time issue is lake flooding will close it.

    Liberty Hill Park Campground

    Lovely setting, clean

    There are ample spots, very spread out—although there is not any kind of screening between sights. Covered picnic tables and fire rings, big boat launch and lovely views of the lake.

    COE Navarro Mills Reservoir Oak Park

    Clean-up on Site #11

    Pros 

    Discount with National Park pass 

    Shady

    Quiet 

    Dark sky friendly

    Nice metal roof cover over concrete picnic table 

    Saw park ranger drive thru during daylight 

    2 bars T-MOBILE 

    Successful streaming with T-MOBILE hotspot device 

    Cons 

    So day #2 without any TP in men’s restroom.  Went to front gate to report it and was told they would call it into the Army Corps of Engineers as gate volunteers have no stock of TP on hand.  Never saw any TP before leaving on third day

    Toilet facility #1 women’s had raw sewage throughout deep enough to cover your foot. Site 11 has electrical hook up at rear on the door side of the camper 

    Site 11 water connection is centered at the rear of the parking pad. 

    Site 11 unlevel. 

    Numerous piles of charcoal ash throughout site 11 campsite not in the fire pit. 

    Concrete picnic table needs degreased as surface has lots of large greasy stain 

    Site numbers are painted on the concrete picnic table so extremely difficult to see in the dark. 

    No WIFI

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the spacing at Loyd Park. "Sites are spaced far apart all come with fire ring and covered picnic table," notes Tammie L. John B. adds, "It feels like a state park, but run by the city. All sites are back in and allow for tent campers."

Clean facilities: The Vineyards Campground & Cabins receives consistent praise for maintenance. "Cleanest bathrooms and showers," reports Dan W., while Andrew B. notes, "Large Sites with covered Picnic tables. Sites spread nicely with no one on top of you."

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Many cabin sites require advance planning, especially during peak seasons. At Northside RV Resort, Iris A. notes, "The park was very clean with four bathroom/shower rooms and laundry room as well. We visited in November and it was quiet with a nice view of the water."

Seasonal considerations: Summer heat impacts the camping experience. "We had a nice shady site which was easy to back in to and long enough to leave our rig hooked up," reports a camper at one park. At Cedar Hill State Park, one reviewer warns about "Fire ants and chiggers all over our campsite!"

Facility limitations: Bathroom and shower access varies widely between parks. At High View, Dani K. observed, "They had some showers and toilets working again when I went. Hot water was very nice! Not the cleanest bathrooms but not the worst either."

Tips for camping with families

Kid-focused amenities: The North Texas Jellystone offers extensive children's activities. "We love this Jellystone! We are full time travelers with young kids and they love this RV park. There are sooo many fun activities (be warned, the cost can add up)," shares Kimberly D.

Playground access: Several parks feature play structures. At Twin Coves, Susan T. mentions, "Twin coves is my favorite park. It has great hiking, a nice kayak launch and new, clean bathrooms." Another camper at Jellystone notes, "Several playgrounds, maze, volleyball, basketball, pond, and activities."

Tips from RVers

Level sites: Many RVers emphasize the importance of level parking pads. At Loyd Park, Debbie T. states, "Campsites are all level and great for the Big Rigs," while another camper notes, "We had a nice shady site which was easy to back in to."
