GuideThis park is close to highway and great for overnight stay. The park has pull through full site hookups. The park has a pond that is the center of the entire campground. The park has two dog parks available as well for those traveling with pets.
Two things I loved:
One thing I didn’t love: Really close to others for extended stays.
GuideWe traveled from West Texas, stayed 4 nights, had rain almost every day. The park is well laid out, small clean well maintained yards. The paved road was beginning to break up from all the rain with pot holes and new ones beginning to pop up. The pads are gravel and almost level. A few guests have been here a while, did see several arrivals and departures. Pet friendly, keep an eye on your pooch as one morning a large dog broke his/her leash one morning and attacked a lady's dog and knocked her down. She was not injured and her doggie is ok. We did not make it to the pool, the patio or to the dog park. All looked great from a distance. Verizon, full bars of service! 🙂
RangerStayed for two months for my husband's work. Park manager, Becky, was helpful and nice. They have a saltwater pool, dog park, laundry room, shower/bathrooms, trees/landscaping and access to a boat ramp. Some sites are a bit tight. We were in the top part of the campground and had no issues with it being real wet. Have heard that the lower area does have pooling of water with heavy rain. It does go away quickly, but should be aware of this if you have lots of outside things or a pet. Would stay here again.
LegendAbout 45minutes north of Dallas which makes easy entry and exit. Very clean amenities, spacious sites, better than average dog park, good amount of grass and walking trails around. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Even had a small fitness room that will work in a pinch.
TravelerWe stayed here 5 months on a work trip. Nice sites most are fenced in with big yards. A few pull thru sites unfenced. The long term sites are well maintained, the staff do a great job of keeping the place nice. Nice big dog park with a pond, also a grooming and dog wash area. Has a pool with hot tub, and a small playground for the kids. We enjoyed our time here, so unique to have a fenced yard. Only down side is the Texas heat and none of the sites have any shade trees.
ScoutWARNING: 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.
ScoutStayed here 5 nights waiting for our property to be ready. Called into the office like we have every morning and was told"sorry you have to leave we reserved your spot." ON MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!!!! Who does this??? No notice, didn't say anything all week. But sure took our money! Poop all over the grass. The dog park is nasty! They give you all the rules, very strick. LOUD, the highway is right here. Unprofessional!!!!! Never again!!!!!
TravelerWe arrived late but were met by the owners with smiles on their faces. They were very helpful and got us checked in quickly. The roads are wide (gravel) and plenty of space between sites. Ours was pull through. The community center is cute! The bathrooms/showers are very clean. The dog park was perfect for my dog on a hot day! I wish there were more mature trees for shade but that’s the only thing I can think of that I would change! Also note there is no wifi in RV area. You have to go to the community center to use it. There is cable internet hookups but you have to have a router.
GuideWe spent an entire month, as we typically do, in Bluebonnet Ridge RV Park in Terrell, Texas. There is a lot to really like about this campground. We would definitely stay here again.
Pros:
The park was clearly being maintained
The basketball /tennis courts had just been resurfaced
Anytime someone left, or a spot was empty, new gravel was being dumped and leveled
Even though closed for Covid, the pool was cleaned daily.
There's a small dog park area.
Doggie bags were provided in multiple places, and ample trash cans in which to drop them.
Sufficient WiFi repeaters throughout the CG
The grass is kept mowed down, good to avoid those Texas stickers getting in your shoelaces.
All but one staff member was really friendly.
Package receiving was well handled and painless.
Each visitor, even short term like us, gets a mailbox. You can go in 24/7 and check it.
There's a "swap area" where people leave magazines, etc. (Near the mailboxes.)
There's a nice little pond you can fish in, catch-and-release only, no license required.
LOTS of room to walk the dog!
There's ample overflow parking and trailer storage space so you don't have to crowd your campsite.
Laundry facility on site, we didn't utilize it since we have a W/D in the rig.
Bulletin board for posting things, we bought our W/D from another person at the campsite!
Park was pretty quiet while we were there. No ruckus or loud people. Folks walked around, talked a bit.
They have Good Sam and Passport American discounts available.

Pet friendly camping near Farmersville, Texas offers options within 30 miles of town. The region features rolling hills with elevations ranging from 500-700 feet and a humid subtropical climate with hot summers where temperatures regularly exceed 90°F. Camping areas surround Lake Lavon, a 21,400-acre reservoir managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers where water levels can fluctuate significantly.
Fishing at the lake: Clear Lake Park provides access to Lake Lavon's shoreline. "Nice quiet park. Bathrooms are very clean," according to Sammie F.
Mountain biking trails: Erwin Park offers approximately 9 miles of maintained trails. "Great easy spot for day camping or easy car camping with family. Best mountain bike single tracks around with lots of built features," notes Brian, who camps there regularly.
Swimming in summer: Many campgrounds feature swimming areas during warmer months. Christina H. mentions East Fork Park Campground has "a nice swim area and overall the campground was clean and quiet. This lake is great for boating."
Spacious RV sites: Patriot RV Park receives praise for its layout and amenities. "They have a saltwater pool, dog park, laundry room, shower/bathrooms, trees/landscaping and access to a boat ramp," reports Bobbie S.
Clean facilities: Campground maintenance varies across the region. At Dallas-Northeast Campground, Kim P. found it "very nice, looked like several full timers, but all were nice and kept up. Children were enjoying the pool, my furbabies enjoyed the large grassy areas around the small fishing lake."
Lake views: Many sites provide views of Lake Lavon. Jess W. found COE Lavon Lake Lavonia offers "Wide open spaces and beautiful lake views. The sites are far apart and lots of green space. Pavement is old and a little rough, but workable."
Maintenance issues: Several campgrounds face challenges with upkeep. Dennis G. notes of East Fork Park: "Bad roads into and thru the park, grass in bad need of cutting, garbage (glass bottles and dirty diapers) on the beach."
Limited shade: Many sites lack tree cover. Christina H. mentions, "There weren't a whole lot of trees and none over the RV pads, so keep that in mind as far as the sun beating down on the camper."
Flooding potential: Some areas can become waterlogged after rain. Melanie and Doug G. observed at East Fork Park Campground: "It looks like there could be a lot of water pooled on and behind our site with a heavy rain. The pad has definitely broken up over time and isn't level."
Bathroom facilities: Some parks have limited options. Amy L. mentions about Erwin Park: "The only thing I would change is the bathroom facilities, there are no doors at all!"
Swimming options: Look for designated swimming areas for children. Cheryl D. warns about dock conditions: "The platforms are extremely in disrepair - literally falling into the lake. The ones we saw were actually dangerous."
Pet exercise areas: For animals-friendly camping near Farmersville, Lavon Oaks RV Park welcomes pets with designated areas. Many campgrounds maintain on-leash policies in common areas while offering dedicated pet spaces.
Connectivity concerns: Internet access varies by location. Mic R. found at Lafon's RV Park: "The Wi-Fi was not good that would be my only complaint."
Site levelness: Many pads require leveling equipment. Ray & Terri F. note: "The sites are well spaced and are 'mostly' paved with aging asphalt. The roads are in need of repair, with numerous potholes, some very large."
Gate access hours: Check operating times at gated facilities. Natalie S. mentions: "Only drawbacks are unlevel sites and front gates don't open til 10am every morning so can't get back in if you go get breakfast."
