SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Campgrounds surrounding Frisco, Texas offer multiple options on several large lakes within a 30-minute drive of the city, ranging from developed RV sites with full hookups to tent camping and cabin rentals. Lake Lewisville provides numerous 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.

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
tim R.ScoutTriple Creek rv park
Best Kept Secret in Caddo Mills: Relaxing, Welcoming, and Fun
We have called Triple Creek RV Park home for two and a half years, and it is hands-down the most welcoming, peaceful place we’ve ever stayed. We originally moved here looking for quiet and serenity after a major health battle, and what we found was a true community. The owners treat everyone like family from day one, and neighbors often gather to chat, share cookouts, or head out for group trail rides. We loved living here so much that my in-law bought a camper and moved out here long-term, too!
At just $600 a month with all utilities and amenities included (or $50/night for short-term stays), it is an unbeatable value in North Texas. Every lot features dedicated full hookups (50/30/20-amp electric, solid water pressure, and on-site sewer at the pad).
Park Highlights:
Trails & Riding: Wooded acreage with cleared trails perfect for side-by-sides, golf carts, four-wheelers, or scenic evening walks.
Water Amenities: A clean, well-maintained saltwater pool and two quiet fishing ponds right on property.
Pet Friendly: Dedicated dog runs with open space to exercise your pets, plus more park improvements continually underway.
Peace & Quiet: Completely peaceful once the sun goes down, offering dead-quiet country nights and wide-open, star-filled skies.
Great Local Access: Peaceful country setting, yet only 3 to 5 minutes from downtown Caddo Mills favorites like Frankie June’s Bar and Grill, Bucky’s Cafe, and Twilight Coffee Co.
Whether you're looking for a relaxing weekend retreat, traveling for work along the I-30 corridor, or searching for an affordable long-term community, Triple Creek is a true hidden gem.

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!

LBJ Federal Grassland
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.
David B.GuideKing RV Park
The new king of RV parks near Winstar
King RV Park not only sets a high standard for RV visitors to the Winstar casino area, it's a model of how American business and customer service should be conducted!
As a small business owner myself, I'm always impressed when I meet someone like Huy Ho who is not satisfied with just doing enough. He's committed to going the extra mile to make his guests feel welcome and wanted and eager to return. That's a rare quality these days and it needs to come back.
I won't spoil the story with the details of all the ways King RV Park went out of their way to help me, a first time RV driver on my first night in a park... ever! What's great about this place is that they adapt to you, and you'll leave with your own special stories of the time you spend there.
If you're planning to get an Uber from the park to the casino, try asking for a ride instead because Uber doesn't respond, even though the casino is 2 miles away. They will pick you up there and bring you back, however.
If you're stopping in Oklahoma, visiting the Texas Panhandle like I was (Pro tip: King RV Park is an easy one day drive to Palo Duro Canyon State Park, which is nothing short of spectacular!), or just want to be near the world's largest casino (you can see it from your rig), don't hesitate to call Mr. Ho directly or reserve online. You'll be glad you did!

Very fun RV camping
RV Camp sites are super nice and well spaced. Really cool fossil sites near the lake shore. Nice huge lake. And really good trails (for North East Texas).

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 Frisco
Campgrounds near Frisco, Texas range from secluded spots with abundant wildlife to lakeside sites with modern amenities. Elevations in the area average 500-700 feet above sea level, with North Texas temperatures reaching over 100°F in summer months. Most camping areas maintain paved roads and concrete pads suitable for tents and RVs year-round.
What to do
Mountain biking trails: Erwin Park in McKinney offers 9 miles of maintained single-track trails for riders of all skill levels. One visitor noted, "Great easy spot for day camping or easy car camping with family. Good fire pits and great pavilion at the group site if you can get it. Best mountain bike single tracks around with lots of built features."
Swimming at designated beaches: Ray Roberts Lake State Park features a roped-off swimming area with sand beaches for cooling off during hot months. A camper mentioned, "There's also a fantastic beach swim area for day use or to visit while your camping. Nice sand and roped off swimming areas with large playgrounds."
Fishing from shore or docks: Many campgrounds around Frisco allow fishing directly from campsites or designated piers. A visitor at Willow Grove Park shared, "The lake was warm and there was a little 'beach' for swimming- I would recommend water shoes and floaties!"
What campers like
Private sites with shade: Hickory Creek - Lewisville Lake offers well-spaced sites with mature trees. A camper explained, "I camped at site 39 and it was an asphalt/gravel pad and fairly level. Water pressure was good and there was lots of shade and ample privacy between sites in this section."
Concrete walkways: Some parks maintain paved pathways that connect camping areas to facilities. At Isle du Bois, a visitor reported, "Sites on the perimeter all have lake access where you can pull a boat up. We have car camped on a few occasions here and each time we saw plenty of deer around camp."
Convenient proximity to urban amenities: Many campers appreciate how Hidden Cove Park & Marina balances natural surroundings with nearby services. As one reviewer noted, "The location of this campground feels secluded from the city but close to the highway so you can be in the city within a few minutes drive."
What you should know
Air traffic noise: Several campgrounds experience overhead air traffic from DFW International Airport, particularly those on the southern side of area lakes.
Weekend crowding: Local parks fill quickly during warm months, especially at lakeside locations. A visitor to Pilot Knoll Park advised, "It isn't a large park and it can be difficult to get a reservation but it is so conveniently located basically in the middle of the Metroplex."
Water access varies by site: Waterfront campsites book fastest and offer direct access to swimming, fishing, and boat launches. A camper at Hickory Creek observed, "In my opinion a few of the best sites are on a little peninsula (sites 91, 92, 93 looked prime) with a little sandy beach and access into a cove of the lake."
Security considerations: Some parks have limited gate control. A Willow Grove Park visitor mentioned, "The park is technically closed at 10pm but there's no gate and technically anyone can drive in any time. I saw the police drive through often, but it still didn't feel as secure as other campsites I've been to."
Tips for camping with families
Check out playgrounds: The Vineyards Campground & Cabins received high marks for its children's recreation areas. A visitor raved, "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."
Consider sites near water with gradual entry: For families with younger children, look for camping sites with easy water access. At Lake Park Campground, a camper noted, "The lake has plenty of areas for swimming for all ages."
Look for wildlife viewing opportunities: Many local parks provide opportunities for children to observe native Texas animals. A camper at Ray Roberts Lake State Park shared, "We have car camped on a few occasions here and each time we saw plenty of deer around camp."
Tips from RVers
Check electrical hookup locations: At some parks, hookups may be positioned inconveniently. A Lake Park visitor mentioned, "Connections for water and electric aren't in best spots but able to reach. They offer extension cords."
Water pressure considerations: Some parks have very high water pressure that can damage RV plumbing. A camper at Pilot Knoll noted, "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."
Dump station locations vary: Not all parks have sewer hookups at individual sites. An RVer at Willow Grove explained, "Dump station is near the middle school outside the park so had to drive our tote 1/4-1/2 mile up the street with a decent amount of traffic."
