    Canton I-20 RV Park

    Easy to Get to, Cheap to Stay

    No complaints, best park I've seen in this area. 

    Very well maintained, large spaces, picnic tables, nice clean pool, clean laundry room and all machines working. 

    Good job.

    15 mins to Buccees :-)

    Canton I-20 RV Park

    SUPER EASY ACCESS - VERY AFFORDABLE - CLOSE TO BUCCEES

    Canton I-20 RV Park is a solid spot right off the interstate. The sites are large, easy to pull into, and each one has a picnic table which makes it nice to sit outside. 

    It’s quiet for being so close to I-20, and the park feels open and well kept. 

    They’ve got a pool, showers, and restrooms that are clean and maintained, plus free laundry, which is a big bonus if you’re staying long term. 

    Utilities are included in the rent, so the price is straightforward. It’s not a resort, but it’s a comfortable, practical place to stay whether you’re traveling through or sticking around for work in the area.

    Cedar Hill State Park Campground

    Not too impressed

    We arrived after hours after calling and instructed to just go to our campsite. The park had absolutely no signs indicating where the campground is. We were surprised to find a very sloping site with the cement bumpers missing rebar and very unsafe. No after hours phone number and no campground host. Is this any way to run a campground? We flagged down another camper who indicated that three sites were available when he checked in a couple of hours earlier. This is the first time that we encountered something like this in our years of camping. No one here to answer questions….sites in terrible disrepair still being represented as safe. We had to replace in the hopes that someone would not arrive to claim their site. In the morning we experienced pounding on our door to be challenged by armed…yes, they had guns, officers questioning why we were “squatting” Needless to say this campground is very disorganized and needs an after hours emergency phone number, campground host, safety inspections, as well as a manager who cares.

    Chisholm Trail RV Community

    Chisholm Trail RV Community

    This RV Park has a great location to Fort Worth. It's less than a mile to Chisholm trail road as well. The park was built by previous owner and done very well but new owners are upgrading park features. The park will feature Chip Seal Roads and RV Covers on every spot. This will be a beautiful place to call home.

    Plantation Place

    WARNING : NO BATHROOMS NO SHOWERS

    WARNING: NO BATHROOMS, NO SHOWERS. Quiet park with easy access to Dallas. Nice dog walking area and dog park. Full hookups. I get that RVs have bathrooms and most have showers, but never in all my years have I been to a park with no bathrooms or showers. Based on the reviews of others a year or more ago I would have to assume there are no plans for any in the future. As long as you know this in advance and are OK with it, you'll be satisfied here. For me,$36, 2 1/2 hours of an afternoon and a trip to Loves for a 2 showers and all was good but I'd have planned differently had I known.
