    Lots of trees and shade!

    This is a city park in Grand Prairie, TX and reminds me of many state parks I’ve been to with larger trees and plenty of shade. The swimming and playground were nice and the camp store was well stocked.

    North Texas Jellystone

    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.

    Awesome place for the family

    This park is run by the City Grand Prairie, which provides a lot of safety. Campsites are a little close together nearest the water but probably the best sites in the Park. We spent three days there swimming and hiking around. Great times!

    Loyd Park

    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!

    Thousand Trails Lake Whitney

    A Campground for full time RV..ers

    • Sites are first come first serve - there is no holding sites especially if you are going as a group
    • No open fires - only propane or charcoal
    • Bathrooms were nice, clean and air conditioned...definitely a couple of notches above the Texas State Parks   
    • No wildlife here...just the human kind
    • Nice shady sites but not a lot of elbow room (pretty cramped)
    • Take lots of allergy medicine if you are allergic to Red Cedar
    • 30 AMP sites with full hook ups
    • A lot of kids activities - water melon eating contest, face painting, etc.
    • Could see a lot of stars in the night sky
    • Don't hang anything from the trees..will get in trouble
    • No place to hang a garbage bag outside
    • Overflowing trash dumpsters
    • Propane filling station on the campground property
    • Cell service with T-Mobile was sparse. Verizon seemed to work fine.

    We got a free Thousand Trails membership from the dealership when we purchased our new camper so we decided to use it for Labor Day at Lake Whitney RV Campgrounds. We went with our camping buddies (theDyrt Ranger Jenny S and family) who also pulled their camper. The sites are first come first serve and there is no holding sites, so if you go as a group finding sites that are together is tough (several sites were bagged and not usable).  We picked Sites #6 and #83 on Loop B. Luckily these sites back up to each other and the kids could roam between the two sites. The sites were 30 AMPs with full hooks up and that part was nice. Didn't have to watch tank levels every time someone (kids) flushed. 

    The campsites were pretty shady with red cedar trees which created havoc with my son's allergies. Poor kid was stuffed up the entire time we were there. The sites were pretty cramped, we were not able to extend our awning without hitting the tree branches. The road inside the campground is pretty beat up with lot of bumps. The amenities were nice - a family swimming pool, shuffleboard, washers, putt-putt golf. The campgrounds had several activities for Labor Day such as a water melon eating contest, frozen T-shirt contest which kept the kids entertained.

    Don't hang anything on the trees. We had some LED light up and the park ranger had us take it down.  Was actually a little harsh about it. Following that encounter we took down the clothesline that we strung up to dry our swimming suits and wet towels. No place to hang a garbage bag either.

    Politeness in customer service was hit or miss.

    Our stay was free because of the Thousand Trails membership but otherwise each site goes for about $45/night. I'll do it again for free, if I have to pay...I will go down the street at Lake Whitney State Park for $25 with full hookups.

    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

    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).

    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!


Guide to Grand Prairie

Loyd Park in Grand Prairie offers wooded campsites with electrical and water hookups at 490 feet elevation. Located within the Cross Timbers ecological region, the park experiences hot summers with temperatures often exceeding 95°F and mild winters where nighttime temperatures can drop below freezing. Campsites surround Joe Pool Lake with shoreline fishing access during all seasons.

What to do

Kayaking and paddling opportunities: Vineyards Campground provides watercraft rentals for exploring lake areas. "We boated, kayaked, rented a golf cart and more. The gold sites are worth it! All concrete sites on the water and stone encased cooking areas," notes one visitor who spent time at The Vineyards Campground & Cabins.

Fishing from dedicated areas: High View Park offers elevated fishing spots with lake access. "We stayed in campsite 29 which is kind of elevated a bit and we had a great view of the lake. Even tho it rained quite a bit we still enjoyed ourselves," reports a camper at High View.

Biking on park trails: North Texas Jellystone provides extensive trail systems for cyclists. A visitor recommends: "Bring bikes! We are from Houston and I opt to drive 4 hours to this one in burleson. Waller is good fun but that park does not compare to this site."

What campers like

Spacious, private sites: Pilot Knoll Park offers well-separated camping areas. "We stayed in spot#5 right at the end of the cove. Calm water, large lot land area and clean, easy access to walk right into the lake to swim, and space to dock your boat make the cove side of the park an excellent score," shares a visitor to Pilot Knoll Park Campground.

Security and safety measures: Northside RV Resort provides gated security for peace of mind. "The park was very clean with four bathroom/shower rooms and laundry room as well. We visited in November and it was quiet with a nice view of the water. The park also has a gate with a code needed to enter," mentions a camper at Northside RV Resort.

Full amenities close to urban areas: High View Park maintains facilities while providing natural settings. "Local sheriff's dept and park ranger made several trips through the park which made it feel secure. Bathroom facilities were clean."

What you should know

Gate closure times: Some parks lock entrance gates after hours. "This may be a great campsite but for us it was terrible. When we arrived at 11pm the gates were locked with no one in site. Was supposed to be a one night stopover with a morning swim," warns a visitor to Highview Park.

Weather conditions affect camping quality: Seasonal rain can create challenges at some sites. "When it rains stay on the pavement as the mud is nasty and gumbo. The road is very loud and there are train tracks with train horns blaring all night long."

Limited shade at some locations: Sun exposure varies across parks. "Great views, clean sites, however there's very limited shade," notes a reviewer about Highview Park.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: North Texas Jellystone offers extensive play areas for children. "Several playgrounds, maze, volleyball, basketball, pond, and activities. We also visited the Waterpark that is joined to the park. The price of admission was very reasonable."

Kid-friendly swimming areas: Pilot Knoll provides safe water entry points. "There is also a small playground with slides and climbing structures across from the restrooms (lots 22-23). My youngest was super excited to see a little library set up at the playground."

Family-oriented activities: North Texas Jellystone schedules regular entertainment. "This is literally the best campground for families. There are tons of activities, games, crafts, pools, petting zoo, water park, and more."

Tips from RVers

Site selection for larger rigs: The Vineyards accommodates larger recreational vehicles with specialized areas. "The gold sites are worth it! All concrete sites on the water and stone encased cooking areas. Great water pressure, sewer hookups and more."

Electrical capacity planning: Consider power needs when booking sites. "Some sites are 50 amp, while all are for 30 amp. Larger rigs are more accomdated next to the lake. But call ahead to see which sites have 50 amp, you'll need it I summer time," advises a visitor to Loyd Park.

Camp store supplies: Winter glamping close to Grand Prairie, Texas benefits from on-site stores. "Front office has an extensive selection of grocery goods, supplies, firewood, etc. Sites have electricity and water, sewer dump is community spread across the grounds."
