    Hidden Cove Park & Marina

    Great for first-timers and families

    Buckle up for a long review! 😂 I stayed at Hidden Cove Park in February for 1 night with 2 kids; and I’d give it a solid 4/5. I would go back for sure.

    Overall, this spot is really nice. The campsites are clean, spacious, and you’ve got plenty to choose from. Being close to the lake is a big plus — you can walk right down and fish along the banks, and the view is just calm and peaceful. Although the strong wind prevented any real fishing.

    The setup is convenient too. Water spigot right at the site, table already there, bathrooms close by and decently clean. Trash dumpster is near the bathrooms so you do t have to haul your trash out.

    Now Here’s the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5…

    Privacy is the biggest downside. Campsites are pretty close together, so you’re definitely gonna see and hear your neighbors. I had some loud neighbors and had to ask them to turn the music down. Then at 12:01 AM… same folks fired up an electric saw to cut firewood which for sure messed up my rest. 🤦🏾‍♂️

    Not really the park’s fault, but the layout doesn’t give you much separation, so your experience kinda depends on who’s around you. Just hope you get quiet neighbors.

    I gotta mention the price for those wondering. It’s $25/night (which is actually good for the amenities you’re getting), but parking is an additional $20. I don’t understand that but OK. With all the fees, my total was $70. Plus $5-6 firewood. Just an FYI.

    Another thing — since the parking lot is close, you’ll see headlights shining through at night when cars pass. Not a dealbreaker, just something to know.

    On the flip side, the closeness to the parking lot is actually clutch. I could literally see my car through the trees, and it was only like a 2–3 minute walk. Made it super easy to haul stuff. I even blew up my air mattresses at the car and just carried them over.

    I also liked the concrete driveway and sidewalks — my daughter was out there skating, which was a cool unexpected bonus.

    No bugs at all while I was there, which was a win. It was too windy to fish, but the kids still had a great time. They’ve got a basketball court, volleyball area, and a hiking trail (didn’t hit it this time).

    The restaurant was closed — not a big deal, but would’ve been nice. They do sell firewood at the front for a good price though, which is convenient.

    And honestly, one of the best parts… it’s only like 15 minutes from home, but it feels like a world away. That alone makes it a great little reset spot.

    This is a GREAT place for first-time campers, and families, or even solo trips if you just want to get away for a bit.

    Cedar Hill State Park Campground

    Private sites.

    Stayed in the Lakeside Loop. Very private patio areas. Large park. Pay close attention to site lengths. No margin for error. Swim beach, multiple boat ramps, perch pond and lots of day sites.

    Isle du Bois Campsites — Ray Roberts Lake State Park

    Great campsite but be prepared for a walk/hike to Wild Plum campsites

    I stayed at Wild Plum campsite #124 at Isle du Bois and honestly… 5/5. I’d definitely go back.

    The overall vibe was solid. The campsite itself was clean, spacious, and felt semi-private. You can see and hear neighbors a bit, but it’s not crowded or on top of each other. Just know it’s not fully secluded. The lake view was really nice, and there are several little fishing spots around the Wild Plum area. Plus, plenty of trails nearby if you want to get out and walk.

    Each site out there has its own little vibe depending on where it sits, but they’re all pretty roomy and well laid out.

    A couple things to be aware of…

    The walk from the parking lot to the campsite is no joke. It’s gravel, rocks, and some incline. If you’re bringing a lot of gear, you’ll definitely want a cart. I didn’t expect that part.

    The toilet situation… yeah, I didn’t use it. It’s a primitive setup with no plumbing, and it was pretty rough. That said, it’s expected for this type of campsite. If you need a better option, you can go up to the pier — those bathrooms have actual plumbing and are way cleaner.

    No showers or water at the site either. There is a water spigot near the pier if you need to refill, and you’ll have to drive your trash up to the dumpsters.

    Weather-wise, it was super windy when I went (early March), and campsites closer to the water definitely catch that wind. Also, not a lot of shade since the trees didn’t have leaves yet, so keep that in mind depending on the time of year.

    On the positive side, I saw a lot of deer in the mornings, which was a really nice touch. No bugs during my stay (I did use a fogger), and the overall environment was peaceful. The park staff was also super duper friendly and helpful, which always makes the experience better.

    Also worth noting — there are stores not too far from the park (like Dollar General), which came in clutch. I actually had to grab some super glue to fix a hole in my air mattress, so it’s good knowing you’re not too far from supplies if something goes wrong.

    I went solo, and it was honestly the perfect little reset—quiet, scenic, and just enough nature without being too rough.

    Good for solo campers, couples, or even families if you’re cool with primitive camping.

    Hickory Creek - Lewisville Lake

    Great Customer Service, excellent options

    From calling and asking on good spots with my setup to how clean the bathrooms and showers are (especially for the price), giving this place 5*s!

    East Fork Park Campground

    East Fork state park

    The Good, level, spacious campsites with an awning over the picnic table. Great lay out for campsites. The Lake Lavon was beautiful. The not so good, the restrooms were old and not well kept up. They were not heated which probably doesn't matter most of the time in Texas but when we were there it was 20 degrees. Secondly there is dog poop everywhere, it seems that every time I stepped off of the pavement I had to clean dog crap out of my shoes.


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.
