    Lake Dallas, Texas

    Overview

    Hickory Creek sits on the extremely popular Lewisville Lake near Dallas, Texas. The almost 30,000-acre reservoir attracts a fair amount of visitors in summer months with warm water temperatures and excellent fishing opportunities.

    Recreation

    Visitors at Lewisville Lake enjoy picnicking, swimming, boating, fishing and relaxing. Photographers will stay entertained with wildlife and colorful sunsets, while hikers and bikers like to explore the 50 miles of natural surface and paved trails surrounding the lake.

    Natural Features

    The lake stems from the Elm Fork of the Trinity River in northern Texas, and offers little visibility, but plenty of room for boating and watercraft. The park sits on the Hickory Creek Arm of Lewisville Lake, very near to the suburbs of Dallas, Texas.

    Nearby Attractions

    Several public golf courses are located around the lake, and horseback riding opportunities are available, too. Hickory Creek is just 35 miles away from downtown Dallas.

    Red River Rose RV Resort

    great people making your travels as good as they can be

    Overall, I was very well pleased with the whole Park and especially the people. Apparently the management of the RV Park has been recently re-organized. The red rose River Rv Park is now Ardmore Lakes RV resort. The RV service area is still separate with the old version of the name. I was very interested in having some work done on my fifth wheel so I called them about that in advance. I arranged to stay four days and have five solar panels mounted on my RV. That worked out very well. I ended up staying another full week. I have to say the expenses were well worth it, but topped out my budget for the month. Seven nights was $350 even though in December about all of the amenities were shut down. They do have a storm shelter, just in case.

    Juniper Point East Lake Texoma

    Juniper point east is located on lake texoma right the the Texas Oklahoma board. On hwy 377 right before you go over the willus bridge. The location is amazing, quite and beautiful. Some sites are unleavened bit the view of the lake from all camp sites are amazing. There's a flock of Canadian geese that love to hang out at the camp ground, a boat dock and plenty of room to park boat trails.

    What a dump

    My bad for not looking harder. I heard about Texas lakes and wanted to camp near one. This place is a pile of junk. Low water pressure. Trash everywhere. No picnic table. Looks like a lot of losers moved in there; grass growing over their sewer lines. Ferrell cats…. The list goes on.

    However the bar and store were cute with ice cold AC and apparently ice cold beer.

    Tipps Point Campground — Lake Murray State Park

    Love Lake Murray!

    Can’t beat this site for $29/night. The sites where we were at are a bit close together. It definitely would have been better to be further on the peninsula or at Cedar Cove or Elephant Rock But we were just happy there was a last-minute cancellation on their website allowing us to be here otherwise it was all booked up for the weekend (I just kept refreshing the booking page).

    Bathrooms good. Access the water was close. Lake Murray is one of the more clear lakes in Oklahoma.

    The golf course, which was beautiful & close, has super twilight hours (after 6pm) which made it very affordable $16pp w/cart.

    Great visit. Will be back!

    Pelham City Park

    Pretty run down and amenities not accurate:

    THERE ARE NO SHOWERS OR FLUSH TOILETS INCLUDED IN THIS STAY ACCORDING TO CITY WORKERS…when we arrived I went into the building to check out showers and a lady asked me what I was doing then informed the showers are for paid pool goers and there are vault toilets by the rv dump site, but they were locked. The sites are all covered in hitchhiker burrs, our dog found them all haha. The sites have water hookups but they’re in-ground and several are washed out so almost impossible to hook to without getting mud in your hose.

    No trespassing and dog warning signs

    The coordinates bring you to what looks like a driveway that has signs for no trespassing and beware of dogs. After looking at the map, it looks like that’s the only way to get back there, so I’m assuming the homeowner who shares that road put those signs to keep people away.

    Better send carrier pigeon....

    Tried calling several times(during business hours) and wrote several times, never got back to me. Finally just drove there(through the rain), calling again about 5 minutes away. They finally answered only to be told they were full. Asked about other days and they said they weren't sure but to call the morning of. I said you know, I've called and wrote and left several messages- would've been nice to get a call back, as now I'm basically here. She said sorry and laughed. Seriously?! No online booking at all and incompetent management- who would call the morning of to see if you drive X amount of miles to stay? And I'm the idiot that drove there after not hearing back, ugh.

    Cedar Grove Campground — Lake Murray State Park

    I fell asleep to the sound of waves lapping at the lakeshore. Sublime.

    This was my first stop on a 4,000-mile trip from NW Arkansas to California and back. I met my brother and his wife who live just north of Fort Worth and spent two nights cooking and laughing around the campfire. The perfect start to an adventure.

    The weather was cool and so not many bugs. Since this was a water-facing spot, I would consider the weather when booking. Great hikes. Don't forget to visit the tower while you're there.

    Great stop!

    Easily accessible about 5 miles off the interstate. We arrived late after 11pm, owner opened the gate and directed us to our site. Pad was level and hookups well placed. Took off early the next morning, free ice was a nice bonus!

    Also noticed this would have been cheaper to book through roadtrippers

    Very remote

    Remote dispersed. Great camping for north central Texas. The sites are a good distance between them. You can drive along the roads and look for them. We spotted 22 sites, there may be more. Download maps before getting here. Cell is not the best. No bathrooms, water, etc. Pack in/pack out. Downloadable hiking maps availability on other apps. Only saw 3 other cameras while we were here. Great hiking.
