"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," noted one visitor about Pilot Knoll Park. The proximity to urban areas means these campgrounds offer a surprising amount of natural setting while maintaining good access to services.

GuideIsle du Bois Campsites — Ray Roberts Lake State Park
Beautiful and quiet. Widely spaced sites in loops, but challenging to back in.
Folks 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!
John C.ScoutEast Fork Park Campground
Great spot on the lake
This 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.

Very dark at night but a great site overall!
Great roads. You hit some well maintained gravel coming into the campsite and the sites are pretty well spaced. Only note
Glen W.TravelerClear Lake Park
So pretty
Camped 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!

We followed down old Decatur Road and turn down for service Road 942. There are lots of open areas that are flat for you to camp out overnight. The road coming in is gravel, but in great shape. We parked in the shade and it’s quite pleasant outside.

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.
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.
