Best Campgrounds near Frisco, TX

586 Reviews

Campgrounds surrounding Frisco, Texas offer multiple options on several large lakes within a 30-minute drive of the city. Lake Lewisville provides numerous established camping areas including Hickory Creek, Hidden Cove Park & Marina, and Pilot Knoll Park, all offering a mix of tent and RV sites with varying levels of amenities. Ray Roberts Lake State Park, located approximately 25 miles north of Frisco, features both the Isle du Bois and Johnson Branch camping areas with both tent and RV accommodations. Several campgrounds like The Vineyards at Grapevine Lake also offer cabin rentals for those seeking alternatives to traditional camping.

Most campgrounds in the region operate year-round with temperatures ranging from hot summers to mild winters, making spring and fall particularly popular camping seasons. Full hookup RV sites are common at many locations, with electricity and water connections standard at most developed campgrounds. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially for weekend stays during summer months when lakefront sites fill quickly. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, though some primitive areas may have limited coverage. The proximity to Dallas-Fort Worth means traffic noise can be noticeable at some campgrounds. One camper noted that at Hickory Creek Park, "The only downside is the overall air traffic that you hear and see over the park from the Dallas-Fort Worth airport."

Lake access represents a primary draw for campers in the Frisco area, with multiple campgrounds providing direct water access for swimming, fishing, and boating. Several campgrounds feature boat ramps, fishing piers, and beaches, making them popular destinations for water recreation. Site privacy varies considerably across the region, with some campgrounds offering well-spaced, shaded sites while others have more open layouts. Amenities range from basic (picnic tables and fire rings) to comprehensive facilities with showers, laundry, and camp stores. A visitor to Isle du Bois commented that the park "features well over 2 miles of concrete hike and bike trails as well as one of the nicest beaches found in North Texas." Proximity to urban conveniences represents another advantage, with most campgrounds situated within easy driving distance of shopping, dining, and entertainment options in Frisco and surrounding communities.

    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.

    Pilot Knoll Park Campground

    Lake Front Camping close to Dallas

    Lots of large back in spots with 50/30 amp plugs, water hook ups, fire pit and picnic table. Many spots are have direct access to the lake to launch a kayak or SUP, boat launch in the day use area. Clean, online reservations takes a little bit of navigating, I had to sign up for an account. Lloyd of tall trees provide shade. Paid $30 per night for mid week in June.

    The Retreat at Shady Creek

    Awesome RV resort in town

    We normally don't do RV resorts, but this one is awesome. The sites are fairly spacious, especially compared to other RV resorts. Big rig friendly with many different style spots to choose from. We always choose the fence line back in sites, and they always come with plenty of grass to walk the dogs. The fence backs up to residential, but that doesn't bother us. Even the back in sites are plenty spacious for a big rig and your tow vehicle and another vehicle. The park is very roomy and easy to navigate and park.

    The staff are always so nice and they make late check in a breeze, which we appreciate after a long, tiring day of towing. This RV resort is the only place we've ever stayed in that allows RV washing! For full-time RVers, that's pretty huge. They also have a mail room if you need to receive a package on the road.

    The resort is split up into two areas by the road, the Retreat area is more resort like and caters to short term stays, while the other half has long term stays. They both look nice and are clean and beautiful. We will continue to visit every time we pass through the area.

    Lake Life Rv Resort

    Clean, only seven spots with the swimming pool

    Great spot conveniently located walking distance is from Eagle Eagle Mountian Lake. Across the street from a convenience store with food kitchen.

    It only has seven spots so it's very quiet and well kept. Enjoy the swimming pool on a hot day.
