    Tyler State Park Campground

    Pretty park

    Tyler State Park is a pretty park. There are a number of hiking trails, but we were only there overnight. The lake and beach look lovely. Most of the camp sites look nice with water and electric. The bath house is clean with hot showers, but could use some paint and TLC. Sites 13, 14, and 15 were very nice especially if tent camping.

    Lake Holbrook Park - South

    Good Quick Stop

    Decent camp area right by the water in a park. I wouldn’t say it’s secluded, but it’s quiet and there is enough space per site to pitch a tent and enjoy your time. I was the only person camping here when I went in January. There is a bit of light from nearby buildings/houses, but not bad. In all, it was sufficient for an overnight stop, but I wouldn’t necessarily want to stay for longer than that.

    Highview Park

    Pay campground: $18/night

    Good experience. Near Ennis, TX. Convenience stores, etc 4-6 miles away. Covered picnic table. Large combined family (private) restroom / shower. (Regular restrooms were closed / locked during my visit - Monday night; May 27.) Not many people. Campsite # 25 faces Lake Bardwell.

    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.

    KE Bushman's Camp

    Terrible

    Drove 1hr out of way tried calling but no answer. Got to park and doors locked, not open, gated, (it is privately owned to be fair). Tried calling from parking lot, voicemail this time, left message and waiting a bit with no response. Had to keep moving as it was almost 5pm and had no idea where to go. Cracker Barrel, yeah!
