Hickory Creek - Lewisville Lake
Great view
12 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Camping near Euless, TX spans a 30-mile radius of reservoir-based parks and state recreation areas, ranging from developed RV campgrounds with full hookups to primitive tent campsites. Cedar Hill State Park, located southwest of Dallas on Joe Pool Lake, provides over 300 wooded campsites with a mix of modern amenities and primitive options. Nearby, Loyd Park in Grand Prairie offers lakeside camping with full hookups for RVs and cabins for those seeking more comfort. The Vineyards Campground on Grapevine Lake and Hickory Creek Park on Lewisville Lake both feature waterfront sites that remain popular year-round, with electrical hookups and boat access being common amenities. Most campgrounds in the region maintain a balance between natural settings and proximity to urban conveniences.
Reservations are essential at most established campgrounds, particularly during spring and summer weekends when temperatures are favorable for water activities. Many campers note the paradoxical experience of feeling removed from urban life while remaining close to metropolitan amenities. As one visitor to Hickory Creek observed, "The location feels secluded from the city but close to the highway so you can be in the city within a few minutes drive." Summer heat can be intense, with temperatures regularly exceeding 95°F from June through September. Aircraft noise from nearby DFW airport is noticeable at several campgrounds, particularly those on Grapevine and Lewisville Lakes. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, making these campgrounds suitable for remote workers.
Lakefront sites consistently receive the highest ratings from visitors, with many campers highlighting the shade trees and water access as key features. Wildlife viewing opportunities include deer, particularly at Ray Roberts Lake State Park slightly farther north, and various waterfowl at most lake properties. Tent campers should note that some parks like Willow Grove have walk-in sites requiring short hikes from parking areas. For those seeking more seclusion, the LBJ National Grasslands about an hour northwest of Euless offers primitive dispersed camping with fewer amenities but greater privacy. Weekday visits typically provide a quieter experience, as one camper noted: "The park seems to be well-known amongst locals, so on the weekends it's especially crowded."
"They offer water access, electricity, are near facilities, have tables and fire pits. Many of the sites overlook the lake or have easy access to the lake."
"Lake is nearby, and fishing permits in Tx are cheap and easy to grab online. Fairly quiet, but the sites themselves are private a shaded for the most part."
from $25 - $100 / night
"Pros: Well maintained, great layout, great location, on the water. Cons: My only criticism is that our site positioned the sewer connection uphill from our trailer. A bit tough to use."
"Immediate access to the lake and a beautiful view! A great little escape from the city."
from $64 - $99 / night
"Location: The location is tucked away in the small lakeside town of Hickory Creek...which is surrounded by Denton to the north and Lewisville/Dallas to the south."
"I like this COE campground because conveniently located near where I live, and if I’m lucky I can snag a site with trees and lake access."

"The park at lakeside had recently flooded but we were not there to go to the water and our site was not effected at all."
"Larger rigs are more accomdated next to the lake. But call ahead to see which sites have 50 amp, you'll need it I summer time. Beach is great."
from $17 / night
"My two boys 4/5 had a blast at the site, walking the trails, and finding spots to throw rocks into the lake."
"Lake front, kayak rentals with a great cove to paddle around in. Walking trails galore. Nice bathrooms, with showers."
"My boys jumped in the pool even though it was 55* outside and said it was a fun experience."
"Truly a great place for the money and close to anything you would ever need."
"Came here for a couple weeks till I can get into a location for long term. Very friendly people and felt very safe and secure in the park"
"Great views of the lake. A well equipped campground store with lots of items. Clean large bathrooms and showers as well as a laundry room."
"It’s close to my home but makes me feel like I’m camping far away from home. Lots of trees, many spots right on the water, great kayak launch, has hiking trails and decent distance between sites."
"Nice RV sites, close to the water. Campground close to town but away from the noise. Nice boat ramp/dock and day use areas too. Recently renovated bathrooms. Staff friendly."

"Stayed here as a group traveling to the Frisco, Texas area for a college football game. We spent 2 nights in a RV. Was within close distance to where we were attending the football game."
"Most Sites appear to be good size (at least those near our site). Has store onsite for drinks, snacks, etc. Ability to rent paddle boards and kayaks at the park to enjoy the lake."
Great view
The KOA is clean and well maintained. There is lits of space for the pull throughs. Dog park is amazing, host are friendly and kind. They are very welcoming and the store is small, but clean with a little bit of everything for everyone! We will definitely be back!
Nice park with water, electric hookups, and showers. Located right on the water. Spots are plenty large enough for multiple cars and there are two hiking trails. Solid spot for RVs and vans that want a beautiful lake view.
Disappointing and unnecessarily confrontational experience.
I booked and paid for a campsite at The Vineyards in my self-contained Sprinter camper van. I checked in without issue and had already spent one night there when the park manager, Lisa, approached me while I was relaxing inside my van to inform me that my vehicle was not welcome.
She stated that the city requires RVs to have hookups and be commercially manufactured. However, the campground’s published policies explicitly allow management to approve converted camper vans (and I am fully self-contained). It also allows for truck campers, which I suppose theoretically could have sewer hookups, but I assure you my custom converted Sprinter is more aesthetic than a truck camper, if that was her concern (no offense to my truck camper friends).
I also could not find the city ordinance she was referring to.
I understand that campgrounds have rules and that management has discretion to enforce them. What I don’t understand is why my reservation was accepted, why I was allowed to stay overnight, or why the situation needed to be handled so confrontationally.
When I offered to leave if they would refund my unused second night, Lisa told me it was too late for a refund and that I might as well stay.
So apparently my van was prohibited until refunding my money became the alternative.
I wasn’t causing a disturbance, requesting special accommodations, or asking to use facilities I hadn’t paid for. I was simply enjoying a campsite I’d reserved and paid for.
The campground itself is lovely, which makes the experience even more disappointing. A straightforward, respectful conversation about their policies would have been entirely reasonable. Instead, I was made to feel unwelcome at a place where I was already a paying guest.
If you’re traveling in a self-contained converted camper van, I’d strongly recommend getting written approval before booking, regardless of whether your reservation is accepted. And given that I am now reading other complaints of the staff being rude, I might avoid this spot altogether.
We were in town for three nights for a wedding, traveling from Southern California.
This was by far one of the best RV parks/resorts we have ever stayed at. It had every amenity you could ever ask for. Park was very quiet and spacious.
The owners were very gracious, and in fact offered us a ride to the wedding we were attending when Uber/Lyft became problematic. Fortunately, it worked out and we did not have to inconvenience them.
Would definitely stay here again if we are ever in town. Outstanding.
We had a great time here. Lots of shade, privacy and great view of lake
Folks want different things out of campsites. For me, it's scenic beauty, quiet for work and mental health, and nice places to take my dog. This checks all the boxes!
None of my reviews will be useful for amenities or activities because I just don't use them. I can't tell you about bathrooms, fishing, etc. I can tell you the water is very soft and feels slick or soapy even after you rinse. I have onboard reverse osmosis and wouldn't recommend drinking city water anywhere in Texas. There's too much oil production here and gas and chemicals are all over.
The staff at the gate were pleasant and said, "You must be David," when I pulled in, which was very nice and made it easy and welcoming.
Texas has many undiscovered and wonderful public lands, whether you're really camping or just working remote, watching the deer, or seeing the sunrise over a lake from your bedroom window. Get out here and come see them!
This is a great campground. Power was good, att service is good and the grounds are very clean. The only downside is no full hookups and the dump station is outside of the gate which they lock at 10pm and don't open again until 10am. So no getting back in while locked and you can't dump except when there are lines.
Lived here long term in a THOW, quiet, peaceful, good people. Park is coming a long way, affordable, easy, close to town, no complaints.
