"I love camping at Cedar Hill State Park it's always clean quiet the customer service you received is very good restrooms are always need and clean," notes Tracy N. from Cedar Hill State Park Campground.
Fishing opportunities: Lake Lewisville provides excellent fishing for bass, catfish, and crappie. "Hickory Creek Park is one of our favorite campgrounds that we visited in 2021 so far. The location of this campground feels secluded from the city but close to the highway so you can be in the city within a few minutes drive," according to UnnamedAdventures at Hickory Creek - Lewisville Lake.
Mountain biking trails: Cedar Hill offers dedicated mountain biking trails popular with local riders. "Last there in Dec 2019 and the area was very barren. The hiking trails were very nice though and had a lot of variation. They were being used mainly as mountain bike trails but were still plenty fun for hiking," reports Price T.
What campers like
Shade coverage: Many campsites feature mature trees that provide natural cooling. "Large park with a variety of campsites. Shaded areas available. Very clean," Karen B. says about Cedar Hill State Park.
Lake access: Sites with water views are most popular during summer months. "We had a blast! Our site was right off the water with a fun view (at night) of the lake Lewisville bridge. Sites were large enough for us (tent campers) without feeling too close to our rv/camper neighbors!" shares Joshua M. about his experience at Hickory Creek.
Well-maintained facilities: Regular cleaning schedules keep bathrooms and common areas in good condition. "Five Star Park located just minutes from Dallas Fort Worth. The Park is extremely clean. Campsites are all level and great for the Big Rigs," notes Debbie T. about Loyd Park.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds fill quickly during spring and fall weekends, requiring reservations 2-3 months in advance. "This isn't a large park and it can be difficult to get a reservation but it is so conveniently located basically in the middle of the Metroplex," explains Courtney B. about Pilot Knoll Park - Lake Lewisville.
Fire ant awareness: Several campgrounds report fire ant issues during warmer months. "Nice lake but there were fire ants and chiggers all over our campsite!" warns Jill C. about Cedar Hill State Park.
Wildlife encounters: Campers should secure food items to avoid attracting local wildlife. "I did try to stay for a Sunday thru Tuesday reservation. It must have been a big weekend prior because I believe the trash was full to the hilt which resulted in hundreds of black, loud, obnoxious and aggressive crows," reports Susan T. about her experience at Pilot Knoll Park.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several campgrounds offer dedicated play areas for children. "The park is designed with small loops for 15-20 camp sites in each loop. Very little traffic right by the individual spots. Easy in and out of park," notes Michael C. about Cedar Hill State Park.
Swimming options: Check water conditions before planning swimming activities. "Super beautiful, clean, modern campsite. The lake was warm and there was a little 'beach' for swimming- I would recommend water shoes and floaties!" advises Summer A. about Willow Grove Park.
Kid-friendly hiking: Short nature trails suitable for young explorers can be found throughout the area. "We hopped over for a one night trip and had a blast! Our 5 & 4 year old boys loved running around, throwing rocks in the lake, and the park host dropped by and gave them a frisbee to play with!" shares Joshua M. about his experience at Hickory Creek.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Corner sites typically offer more privacy and space. "The park is very clean, having done lots of updates. All of the amenities you would want in a park, plus lots and lots of trees. Everything is clean. Nice pool, kids playground, exercise area, clean baths and great laundry," explains Troy about Treetops RV Resort.
Leveling requirements: Most sites require minimal leveling but bring blocks for adjustments. "Very nice place. Quiet and clean. After hours check in was very fast and easy. Lots of trees. Good place to stay in a big city," shares Kathy H. about her experience at Dallas/Arlington KOA Holiday.
Water pressure considerations: Some campgrounds have high water pressure that can damage RV plumbing. "Spent an afternoon and evening here and met a friend whom lives locally. Lots of shade trees, level sites many right on the water. I found the water pressure too strong for my class b as the pressure caused a link under my sink," cautions Chris P. about his stay at Pilot Knoll Park.
