    Fun for all!!!

    We stopped by for the night after visiting the state park to meet up with some friends and I'm so glad we took the detour! The site was a little tight. We had one close to the cabins that you can rent and there was just enough room for all our vehicles and tents but not much more. There was the usual picnic table and fire pit. There was a communal spigot for water which is fine. Its more often a luxury for each site to have their own so I wasn't expecting that in this tent spot. but the campground was a different world. Yogi bear's world really.. My friends kids had a blast. There were scheduled activities all day long and the guys were able to go fishing in the nearby lake. We all had a blast. I would go back in a heart beat.

    Wind Point Park

    Um...

    I've been coming to this park since I was 12 or 13 years old and we would tent camp. The only things to do is fish and go swimming and the play ground is kind of sad. I came camping in 2009 when I got back from Iraq and it was very well maintained then either, just leaves piled up so high mosquitos and various other pests loved it. We brought our camper out this weekend after reading reviews and hearing about how updated it is and how great it is but it's still the same park it's always been. There was literally a camper across from us being stabilized with cinder blocks... we have a three year old and took him to the park to burn some energy and were quite disappointed (as well as our son). The equipment was the same equipment from when I was a kid and there's really not much more than swings, a slide, merry go round, and a see-saw type thing. We paid over $90 for three nights and ended up leaving a day before because there was just nothing to do. There was also someone walking around our camper the first night and I'm still not sure who it was 😲. We had a tree in the worst part of our site, we couldn't let our awning out hardly. If we moved up a little bit we couldn't use out outdoor kitchen, if we a lot we'd be lucky to use our connections. We ended up in one of the only spots that didn't have some kind of asphalt and it had been raining for two days, that was a load of fun also because the mud was thick and there were two mini lakes around us. The campsites at the state park we're further away then here and I would have preferred some distance to our "neighbors". The gentleman who led us to our site was polite at least and they did spray for ants around our camper. However, I doubt we'll go back unless they make some better changes.

    Loved the tent sites

    We found this place when our other reservation got messed up, but boy am I glad we did! The tent sites have water and electric at each site. Sites feel secluded and spread out and our was covered by trees so the shade was great!

    There was a little litter around the campsite but my son and I tired to clean up as mush as we could before we left.

    There was a covered picnic table, fire pit, and grill, and lots of nails on the picnic covering table (although they are up really high, so if you’re short it’s hard to get to them).

    We plan on going back and taking advantage of the hiking trails and swimming spot!

    Wind Point Park

    Good Camping in a Controlled Environment

    If you’re looking for somewhere off the grid that is truly primitive, then this is not the place for you. If you don’t mind other people nearby, then you may enjoy your time here. Great docks for fishing. Beautiful water views, if you camp next to the water. Tent camping sites with electrical hookups are piled next to each other pretty close, so if you’re getting a tent electrical site you had better not mind getting friendly with your neighbors. Also, when it rains some of the tent electrical camp sites fill with water. However, if this happens the front office is more than willing to work with you and give you a refund or switch your site. There is a lot of wildlife roaming around - lots of deer! The primitive camp sites by the docks that overlook the water are beautiful. There is a concrete slab, picnic table, and fire pit at each primitive site. If you want to throw up a hammock, some of the primitive sites have trees that are the perfect distance apart for that - but be aware some of these trees are covered in poison ivy! The primitive sites are all close by to other types of campers, so it is never quiet and you can hear people at all hours of the day/night for the most part. Where we stayed by the water, we were next to an RV site. The other primitive camping sites also seem to be near RV sites and electrical tent sites, according to the map. If you camp near the water, it is very windy, especially at night, so make sure to bring plenty of blankets! Are you ever really on your own here: no. Are there beautiful views: yes. Is it truly primitive: no. Will you be taken care of: yes. All sites are open, with no big trees or shrubs to give privacy. You can see your neighbors and they can see you, even at the primitive sites. It would be a good place to bring a family or children for sure. I will say, the customer service at the main office is outstanding. They have anything you could think of for sale there, which is a huge plus. It is highly likely that you won’t need to drive into town for anything. Workers drive around with trash bags every day to ensure everyone is disposing of trash properly, and will give you free trash bags if you don’t have any, which is nice. All in all it depends on what you’re looking for, whether you choose to come to this camping location or not. We enjoy going here just to get away from the house and enjoy the beauty of the lake/nature for a bit. Although, I do wish there was more privacy. Everything is too close together, in my opinion.

    COE Lavon Lake Lavonia

    Tent camping is an afterthought.

    Overnighted here returning home from a longer trip. It was okay for what I was doing, but I would never choose to camp here as a destination as a tent camper.

    Activities: looking at the lake, bringing a boat to put in the lake, fishing. Seemingly nothing else to do.

    Accommodations: clearly geared towards RVers. Each of those sites have water, electricity, and a sewer connection, with a covered cement pad with a grill, a table, and other relevant features. The few tent camp sites were shoved seemingly randomly between and around the RV sites. At my particular site, the concrete pad and picnic table were cracked and seriously damaged, and few grill was rusty enough to be almost unusable. The fire pit and ground of the rest of the site were littered in bits of trash ranging from things like food wrappers, pieces of plastic hangers, and my personal favorite - a construction nail.

    The only bright light of this camp experience for me? The bathrooms. Each bathroom ( 2 per building) was a single occupant bathroom with a locking door. In the bathroom was a sink, a toilet, a hand dryer, and a shower with two nozzles at different heights (tall and short). The appliances were stainless steel, and the bathrooms were clearly excellently maintained. The bathrooms also had automatic lighting, an exhaust fan, and what appeared to be a tiny space heater for colder months. The showers had hot water, and the drains in the floor were sufficient at getting all the excess water out of there quickly.

    In summary, if you have an RV and/or a boat and love to do things on the water, this is probably a fine campground. If you are taking a tent, I'd avoid this campground.

    Loyd Park

    Large park-awesome sites!

    Our first time here and really enjoyed it. The park at lakeside had recently flooded but we were not there to go to the water and our site was not effected at all. The sites are large and all come with a covered picnic table, a fire pit, a bbq grill and hook ups except sewer where we were but we didn’t need it. They have a dump station also. Great price!

    Loyd Park

    Loop A vs E

    Overall the lake and wooded areas are good for a day’s enjoyment however the facility is not maintained. Also the entire park is huge so things are not within walking distance so if you don’t have wheels you’ll have to unhook for hike a good long distance to amenities. The bath houses in Loop E are completely neglected. The light in the ladies BH is flickering so badly it was disorientIng, one shower did not work at all, toilets have no “seat”, and it is overrun with bugs (more than the normal campground). The gate entrance attendant is rude and unhelpful. No sewer hook ups at site (E loop) so “community” dumping is necessary. The community dump is run down too with broken equipment and bent connections. Finally, for the camp charges $10/car/day. We have a drivable RV and rented a car so not only did we pay for the site but then paid more to have our car. Not going to stay here again. After dealing with E loop for a couple days we requested to move to A loop. A loop was much better but we were charged $20/day for the “upgrade”. A loop bath house was definitely better but still unimpressive. Office staff was friendlier and helpful (not gate employee).


Guide to Garland

Glamping experiences near Garland, Texas offer diverse accommodations within 40 miles of the city center. The area features moderate year-round temperatures with summer highs regularly exceeding 95°F from June through September. Most glamping sites maintain full hookup options and offer lake access, with fishing platforms and boat rentals available at several locations throughout the region.

What to do

Fish from dedicated platforms: At Lavonia Lavon Lake, the fishing areas provide direct water access, though maintenance issues exist at some spots. "The platforms are extremely in disrepair - literally falling into the lake. The ones we saw were actually dangerous," notes one Lavonia visitor, highlighting the need for caution when using these amenities.

Explore multiple water activities: Ray Roberts Lake State Park's Johnson Branch provides options for swimming, fishing, and kayaking. The park maintains specific water access points near camping areas. "There are several walk-in camp sites and several large sites for campers and RV's. Make sure that you spend a lot of time in the lake because it gets hot," explains a camper who visited the Johnson Branch unit.

Rent outdoor equipment: North Texas Jellystone offers equipment rentals that enhance the glamping experience. "We boated, kayaked, rented a golf cart and more," shares one visitor. The park also maintains paintball facilities, hayrides, and fishing opportunities for varied outdoor activities.

What campers like

Wide-spaced lakefront sites: Pilot Knoll Park Campground features spacious glamping areas with lake views. A camper describes, "I really enjoyed how well kept the grounds were and did love the open space between sites and the water, giving lots of space for the kids to play. Really pretty views."

Clean, modern bathroom facilities: Lavonia Lavon Lake receives mixed reviews for tent camping, but earns praise for its bathroom maintenance. "The bathrooms had automatic lighting, an exhaust fan, and what appeared to be a tiny space heater for colder months. The showers had hot water, and the drains in the floor were sufficient at getting all the excess water out quickly," explains one visitor.

Premium lakeside spots: The Vineyards Campground & Cabins maintains upscale lakefront sites with specific amenities. "Great location and staff. We have stayed here several times. We haven't found a bad site yet! Great fishing, kayaking, play ground, and swim area. Very well kept up. The store is well stocked," notes a regular visitor to The Vineyards.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most glamping sites require advance booking, particularly during summer months. At Loyd Park, campers should be aware of additional fees. "We purchased park pass as they charge daily fee of $10 per vehicle. Joe Pool lake is part of park. It's a big park, lots of good spaces," explains a visitor.

Weather considerations: Summer temperatures regularly exceed 95°F, making water access important. One camper at Wind Point Park notes, "If you camp near the water, it is very windy, especially at night, so make sure to bring plenty of blankets!"

Site selection impacts: Tent campers should research site specifics carefully. A Lavonia visitor warns, "Tent camping is an afterthought. The few tent camp sites were shoved seemingly randomly between and around the RV sites. At my particular site, the concrete pad and picnic table were cracked and seriously damaged."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Bluebonnet Ridge RV Park offers family-friendly amenities beyond standard glamping accommodations. "There are 4 washer and dryers and showers for all 124 spots. Tennis/pickle ball court, small fishing lake, laundry, pool and tiny houses," shares a visitor highlighting family activity options.

Organized activities: North Texas Jellystone provides structured entertainment for children. A parent shares, "This is literally the best campground for families. There are tons of activities, games, crafts, pools, petting zoo, water park, and more."

Privacy considerations: Site layout affects family camping experience. At Johnson Branch, a visitor explains, "The sites are fairly close together but the grass makes it feel like you have your own little oasis. Most campsites have a lengthy walk-in distance so be prepared! Bring a cart; it'll speed things up massively."

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: At Loyd Park, RVers recommend specific locations. "Sites are spaced far apart all come with fire ring and covered picnic table. We stayed in site 115 great spot close to the water."

Seasonal adjustments: Winter camping requires different preparations. An RV camper at Loyd Park shares, "Tested out our new camper for the first time - loved this campground, even in the winter! Front office has an extensive selection of grocery goods, supplies, firewood, etc. Our site was only a hundred feet from the lake - gorgeous view!"

Leveling challenges: Some RV sites require additional equipment. A visitor to The Vineyards recommends, "Our site was very unlevel on the hill, so bring your chocks."
