    Loyd Park

    Quiet and Serene

    We stayed here for four nights and it was a welcome retreat after staying in mini RV parks. Our spot was number 184. Not right on the water, but we can see the water from one of our windows. If we came back here again and we couldn’t get right on the water. I would choose a site with more shade like site number 190 has lots of shade.We’re here in October so it’s pretty warm. The hookups work well and the place is very well-maintained. I haven’t tried the public restrooms as our RV restroom is fine. I would definitely come back here again.

    Cedar Hill State Park Campground

    Not too impressed

    We arrived after hours after calling and instructed to just go to our campsite. The park had absolutely no signs indicating where the campground is. We were surprised to find a very sloping site with the cement bumpers missing rebar and very unsafe. No after hours phone number and no campground host. Is this any way to run a campground? We flagged down another camper who indicated that three sites were available when he checked in a couple of hours earlier. This is the first time that we encountered something like this in our years of camping. No one here to answer questions….sites in terrible disrepair still being represented as safe. We had to replace in the hopes that someone would not arrive to claim their site. In the morning we experienced pounding on our door to be challenged by armed…yes, they had guns, officers questioning why we were “squatting” Needless to say this campground is very disorganized and needs an after hours emergency phone number, campground host, safety inspections, as well as a manager who cares.

    Holiday Park Campground

    Small, fairly convenient, and very quiet CG

    We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 73 for 1 night in mid September. The CG is clean, well maintained. The CG roads are paved, but narrow and a little winding in places. The sites themselves all seemed mostly level. The CG was very quiet and peaceful. There were only 2 or 3 other campers in the CG while we were there. Our site, 73, was a pull-through, as were several, but some were back in. The registration card says to watch for branches if your RV is over 12’ tall, but there were several branches much lower than that leaving site 73. We were able to navigate to avoid most of them, but one was unavailable, so be advised. There were lots of deer that wandered through our part of the CG. 

    AT&T coverage was pretty good with 2 bars of LTE service and speeds up to 17 MB/s. We had a clear view to the N at the site, so Starlink was fine with speeds up to 20 MB/s.

    The Vineyards

    A must stay!!!

    In a very nice campground with spacious FHU sites that are concrete pads and level. Great views of the lake. A well equipped campground store with lots of items. Clean large bathrooms and showers as well as a laundry room. Have events throughout the week for social activities for adults and kids. Great hosts and a very well kept campground. Definitely a place to stay overnight or a week.

    Lake Park Campground

    Quiet and Peaceful

    Check in was simple. Kasey and Shane are wonderful. Convenient to the lake. Easy access to stores and I 35. There is a parking lot for your boat or jet skis within the campground. The sites for 30 amp and smaller campers are closer to the water. 50 amp and larger campers are in the shade. I am not certain of fees for park entry. Website says that day use area is included in the amenities, but had to pay the entry fee yesterday.

    Patriot RV Park

    Comfortable stay

    Stayed 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.

    Lyndon B. Johnson National Grassland Dispersed Camping

    Worked Well for Overnight

    Was transiting between central Texas toward Colorado in an off-grid TT and didn’t want to venture far off 287 for a comfortable, quiet & safe place to stay for the night. Taking the Trinity exit north off the loop around Decatur and using the navigation to the LBJ Grasslands to Park Rd 904 access was easy (& scenic). Once inside you could tell there’d been recent rain but the wet areas were easily avoided. Sites are spacious and we soon found a pretty great vista view from which the spectacular sunset was just a great bonus. Will make a note to use this stop en route out of the central part of the state going west for future trips.


Guide to Flower Mound

Campgrounds near Flower Mound, Texas offer a mix of natural settings while being just minutes from urban amenities. Located within the Cross Timbers ecological region, the area features a distinctive blend of prairie grasslands and oak woodlands surrounding the shores of Lewisville Lake and Grapevine Lake. Water levels can fluctuate seasonally, affecting shoreline camping conditions and boat ramp access throughout the year.

What to do

Kayaking and paddleboarding: Many sites at Pilot Knoll Park feature direct lake access. "Lots of large back-in spots with 50/30 amp plugs, water hookups, fire pit and picnic table. Many spots have direct access to the lake to launch a kayak or SUP," notes Courtney B. The park includes a dedicated kayak launch area near the boat dock.

Fishing from shore: Camp at Hickory Creek for productive bank fishing. "Sites on the point have few trees and wide open spaces, but the lake view is expansive," explains Susan L. Sites 91-93 offer a small sandy beach with easy cove access for fishing without a boat.

Mountain biking: Twin Coves Park connects to multiple trail networks. "Located on a side arm of Lake Grapevine, the campground was renovated and is now offering full hook up and cabins. You have a boat ramp, kajak launch, mountain bike trails," explains frederic N. The park connects directly to the 9-mile North Shore Trail system.

What campers like

Spacious, level sites: Campers consistently praise the site layout at The Vineyards Campground & Cabins. "Large Sites with covered Picnic tables. Sites spread nicely with no one on top of you," notes Andrew B. Most premium waterfront sites include stone-encased cooking areas and concrete pads.

Clean facilities: Bathroom cleanliness receives positive reviews across multiple parks. "Cleanest bathrooms and showers," says Dan W. about The Vineyards. Similarly, at Pilot Knoll Park, "Bathrooms and showers were clean and functioning," according to site reviews.

Wildlife viewing: Early mornings offer opportunities to spot local wildlife. "We have car camped on a few occasions here and each time we saw plenty of deer around camp," mentions Matt S. about Isle du Bois at Ray Roberts Lake State Park, located 30 minutes north of Flower Mound.

What you should know

Site selection strategy: Campgrounds fill quickly, especially during summer months. At Hickory Creek, "If you're lucky I can snag a site with trees and lake access. But the tradeoff for convenience is proximity to civilization," explains Susan L. Reservations may open 6 months in advance for state parks and 3 months ahead for county parks.

Urban proximity noise: The area's convenience comes with some ambient noise. "This definitely isn't wilderness and as another reviewer pointed out, the campground can be noisy. It's located adjacent to I-35, just west of the Lake Lewisville bridge, so there's traffic noise depending on how close you're camped to the road," notes a Hickory Creek reviewer.

After-hours access: Security practices vary between parks. At Willow Grove Park, "Anybody can access in and out at anytime, that makes it not very quite do to traffic driving around," explains Reynolds O. Other parks like Twin Coves implement stricter access controls with gates.

Tips for camping with families

Playground options: Several campgrounds feature modern play areas. "Check-in was very easy, sites were very clean and well maintained, playground was amazing with an awesome 'roller-coaster' swing that the teenagers even loved," reports Joie S. about The Vineyards, making it suitable for various age groups.

Swimming areas: Designated swim areas provide safer water access. "There is a park with slides and swings. 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. Most swimming areas are unsupervised.

Primitive camping with kids: For families wanting to try backpacking, Isle du Bois offers an accessible introduction. "The primitive sites offer a great way to dip your toes into the world of backpacking," explains Matt S. Sites range from just 20 feet to a half-mile from parking areas.

Tips from RVers

Hookup considerations: Not all parks offer full hookups. "Absolute newbie here. The only 'negative' I found is that the sewage hook up is not at the actual site. There are dump stations in different places," mentions Luis about Hickory Creek, noting the learning curve for first-time RVers using dump stations.

Shaded vs. waterfront sites: Consider your priorities when selecting sites. "The campsites near the water have absolutely no trees. I feel very exposed in those sites. They have a few wooded sites near the office but they accommodate only small rigs," explains Susan T. about Twin Coves Park. Many parks offer this tradeoff between shade and views.

Water pressure variations: Come prepared with pressure regulators. "I found the water pressure too strong for my class b as the pressure caused a link under my sink. Convinced me to purchase my own water pressure resistor gauge," warns Chris P. about Pilot Knoll Park after experiencing plumbing issues.
