Very fun RV camping
RV Camp sites are super nice and well spaced. Really cool fossil sites near the lake shore. Nice huge lake. And really good trails (for North East Texas).

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Campgrounds near Farmersville, Texas primarily consist of established sites with various amenities and hookups for both tent and RV camping. The region includes several developed options like East Fork Park Campground on Lake Lavon and Lafon's RV Park in Princeton, which provide water and electric hookups. Most campgrounds in this area feature lakefront or lake-view access, particularly around Lake Lavon, which serves as a central recreational feature. Accommodations range from basic tent sites to full-service RV parks with amenities like showers, dump stations, and picnic areas, though cabin options are limited to select locations like Lafon's RV Park and Dallas-Northeast Campground.
Road conditions and facility maintenance vary considerably across campgrounds in the Farmersville area, with some locations showing signs of aging infrastructure. "It must have been nice at some point but it's obvious budget cuts and other priorities have taken its toll. Bad roads into and thru the park, grass in bad need of cutting," noted one visitor about East Fork Park. Most campgrounds maintain seasonal operations year-round, though Lavonia on Lavon Lake typically operates from March through September. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F, making lakeside camping particularly desirable. Cell service is generally available at most developed sites, though signal strength varies by carrier and specific location. Many campgrounds require reservations, particularly during summer weekends and holidays when waterfront sites fill quickly.
Several visitors mentioned the spacing between sites as a positive aspect of camping in this region. At Lavonia, a camper noted, "Wide open spaces and beautiful lake views. The sites are far apart and lots of green space." The developed campgrounds around Lake Lavon provide boat ramps and fishing access, making them popular destinations for water recreation enthusiasts. While amenities vary significantly between locations, most provide at least basic facilities such as toilets and trash collection. Campers seeking more natural settings may find the Corps of Engineers sites preferable to the privately owned RV parks, which tend to focus on long-term residents rather than recreational camping. The proximity to Dallas makes these campgrounds convenient weekend getaways for metropolitan residents, though this can lead to crowding during peak periods.

Sugar Hill RV Resort
Little Piece of Heaven
I've been RVing for a lot of years, and I can honestly say Sugar Hill RV Resort is one of the nicest places my wife and I have stayed. One of my favorite things about this park is the landscaping. The grounds are beautiful, with flowering trees, flowers, bushes and grasses around the patios and walking paths that make it feel more like a retreat than an RV park. Every morning I'd grab my coffee and take a stroll just to enjoy it. We also had a great time exploring Anna. Having the Red Rooster Barn right next door was a real treat. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio for dinner more than once, and if you like barbecue, don't leave town without trying Hutchins BBQ. I don't hand out compliments easily, but that barbecue was flat-out outstanding. Kyla up front is an absolute sweetheart. She always greeted us with a smile, remembered our names, and somehow found time to visit whenever we stopped by. The owners are just as friendly. It was nice being able to sit and visit with them from time to time—you can tell they truly care about the folks staying here. The whole place is quiet, clean, and very well maintained. It's the kind of park where people wave as they drive by, neighbors visit, and you feel comfortable from the day you arrive. We've already told several of our RV friends about Sugar Hill, and I have a feeling we'll be making our way back before too long.

Sugar Hill RV Resort
Hidden Gem
My husband and I stayed at Sugar Hill RV Resort for a few months this summer so we could spend more time with our kids and grandbabies. We wanted a place that was quiet, clean, and felt safe, and Sugar Hill turned out to be just that. From the minute we pulled in, everyone made us feel right at home. The owners and staff are some of the sweetest folks you'll meet. They always had a smile on their face and were happy to help with anything we needed. I loved getting up early and walking the trails before it got too hot, and most evenings we'd end up soaking in the hot tub after a long day chasing grandkids around. Everything is so well kept—the pool, laundry room, showers, and grounds are all spotless. You can tell people really take pride in this place. One thing I really appreciated was how peaceful it is. It's close enough to everything we needed, but when you're back at the resort, you can actually relax and enjoy yourself. We met several other long-term guests, visited over coffee, and made some sweet new friends along the way.

Quaint campground. A army core engineers park. Very nice lake view and about half the sites are on the water.

Joshua M.GuideIsle du Bois Campsites — Ray Roberts Lake State Park
Perfect for the Family!
Our family had a fantastic 2 night stay. We’ve only stayed at Johnson Branch on Ray Roberts in the past, and have loved Isle Du Bois. Our site is surrounded about beautiful lush trees and overgrowth. The beach is right up the path and my two boys (4&6) loved playing in the water with the kids. Our site is also two sites from the playground and bathroom/showers, which was super convenient! Will definitely be back and eyeing a site right off the water for some fishing!

They have the best cookies!
We've had a wonderful experience at Sugar Hill RV Resort. The park is gorgeous, quiet, and always well-maintained, but what really makes it special is the staff. Kyla goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome, she gave us cookies and is always quick to help with anything that comes up. It's rare to find a place that feels this friendly and genuinely cares about its guests. We highly recommend Sugar Hill to anyone looking for a great place to stay.

Peaceful Waterfront Campground
Like most of our stops, we only spent one night here, but it was a really nice campground. The sites are large, and being right by the water makes the whole place feel peaceful and relaxing. A big plus was the covered picnic tables and benches at each site, which made it much more comfortable to eat outside without sitting in the direct sun. The only small downside was the bathhouse. It was nice to have your own private bathroom with both a toilet and a shower, but the shower only produced a small stream of water with fairly low pressure. Upgrading the showerheads would definitely improve the experience. It's also worth knowing that you can't access the campground after 10 PM, apparently not even with an access code. Other than those minor issues, this is a really beautiful campground and a great place to stay.

Peaceful lake campground
We have stayed here twice and loved it. Make sure you tie down any kayaks or boats due to wind buy the water. Ours blew away, boo. The spots are great and amenities perfect. The gate does close at night so be careful that you dont get locked out. Learn from our mistake or you have a long walk.
Guide to Farmersville
Campgrounds near Farmersville, Texas range from basic tent sites to full-service RV parks with most concentrated around Lake Lavon. East Fork Park Campground and Lavon Lake Lavonia provide waterfront camping with electric hookups, while several privately owned RV parks like Patriot RV Park and The Waters offer more developed facilities. Most campgrounds in the area accommodate both tent and RV campers, though cabin options are limited primarily to Dallas-Northeast Campground in Caddo Mills and Lafon's RV Park in Princeton, approximately 10-15 miles from Farmersville.
Many campgrounds in the region have seasonal operating schedules, with some like Lavon Lake Lavonia operating only from March through September. The roads to campgrounds vary significantly in quality, with some requiring navigation of rough, dusty access roads. "To get there, you travel a rough dirt road that has had some oil put on it near the few houses that are there but that stops about halfway to the site," noted one visitor about a local RV park. Weather conditions can impact camping experiences, especially during rainy periods when some lower-lying areas around Lake Lavon may experience temporary flooding. Most developed campgrounds provide water and electric hookups, though amenities like showers and dump stations vary considerably between locations.
Waterfront sites at Corps of Engineers campgrounds along Lake Lavon tend to receive positive reviews for their spacious layouts and views. A visitor to Lavon Lake Lavonia commented, "Wide open spaces and beautiful lake views. The sites are far apart and lots of green space." Most campgrounds provide basic amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, and restroom facilities, though maintenance quality varies. Several reviews mention aging infrastructure at some public campgrounds, with crumbling asphalt pads and deteriorating facilities being common complaints. The more developed private RV parks typically offer better maintained facilities but may lack the natural setting and privacy of the lakeside public campgrounds. Cell coverage is generally good throughout the area, with most campgrounds reporting adequate service for those needing to stay connected.
