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.

GuideThis is a very small campground with a central bathroom/showers up the hill from the campsites. The lake means bugs. The bathrooms were not terrible. The showers were clean-ish.
ScoutO boy o boy will you be in for a surprise at this supposedly resort style RV PARK. No trees, no covered sites, no pool or hot tub, bathrooms are covered with bugs. Office is never opened. New management sucks and get ready to sign your life away on long term contracts
ScoutFalse advertisement. Owners are not accommodating. Pool and hot tub (not a heated hot tub at all) haven’t been opened since we got here. Absolutely nothing “resort” about a residential pool with no heat in a hot tub that hasn’t opened).
Owners changed rules (require a 12-month lease that is very in depth and doesn’t pertaining to living in a RV park but more like leasing a house or apartment), pricing and everything else in a matter of 2- month. They are so bad; our property manager resigned after only 3- months here. Google reviews are all fake reviews. No trees, no covered sites, no guest/overflow parking. Dumpsters are always overflowing and owners have no one on property during the hours they have listed as their “open” hours. Photoshopped pictures on their website, I would stay clear of this place.
ScoutWe had a great time here. Lots of shade, privacy and great view of lake
GuideFolks 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!
ScoutThis 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.
ScoutWe have called Triple Creek RV Park home for two and a half years, and it is hands-down the most welcoming, peaceful place we’ve ever stayed. We originally moved here looking for quiet and serenity after a major health battle, and what we found was a true community. The owners treat everyone like family from day one, and neighbors often gather to chat, share cookouts, or head out for group trail rides. We loved living here so much that my in-law bought a camper and moved out here long-term, too!
At just $600 a month with all utilities and amenities included (or $50/night for short-term stays), it is an unbeatable value in North Texas. Every lot features dedicated full hookups (50/30/20-amp electric, solid water pressure, and on-site sewer at the pad).
Park Highlights:
Trails & Riding: Wooded acreage with cleared trails perfect for side-by-sides, golf carts, four-wheelers, or scenic evening walks.
Water Amenities: A clean, well-maintained saltwater pool and two quiet fishing ponds right on property.
Pet Friendly: Dedicated dog runs with open space to exercise your pets, plus more park improvements continually underway.
Peace & Quiet: Completely peaceful once the sun goes down, offering dead-quiet country nights and wide-open, star-filled skies.
Great Local Access: Peaceful country setting, yet only 3 to 5 minutes from downtown Caddo Mills favorites like Frankie June’s Bar and Grill, Bucky’s Cafe, and Twilight Coffee Co.
Whether you're looking for a relaxing weekend retreat, traveling for work along the I-30 corridor, or searching for an affordable long-term community, Triple Creek is a true hidden gem.
TravelerCamped in site 14. Level site, beautiful view of the lake with covered concrete table. You can walk down to the lake to swim. BUT ants! Make sure you take precautions to keep them out of your rig!
ScoutMid-size oak trees all over, starlink internet is ok, very quiet and not crowded. Our electric power was very poor, and the roads are busted up asphalt for the most part. Forget fishing unless you have a boat. We would come again

The roads to campgrounds vary significantly in quality, with some requiring navigation of rough, dusty access roads.

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.
