12 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Grand Prairie RV options include Traders Village with water, electric, sewer hookups, and sites rated favorably by past guests. Treetops RV Resort in Arlington provides full hookup concrete pads for various rig sizes, with both pull-through and back-in sites available year-round. "The sites are fairly spacious, especially compared to other RV resorts. Big rig friendly with many different style spots to choose from," noted one camper about an area resort. Northside RV Resort accommodates larger rigs with electric hookups, while Starry Night RV Resort features 75 sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp service along with water and sewer connections.
Several parks maintain security gates that close during overnight hours, requiring access codes for late arrivals. Cell service varies considerably throughout the region, with most locations offering adequate coverage for AT&T and Verizon customers. Within a 30-mile radius, dump stations are available at most parks, though not all sites include sewer connections at the pad. Pet policies differ between facilities—most allow pets but enforce leash requirements and designated dog areas. During summer months, particularly May through September, advance reservations are strongly recommended as parks frequently reach capacity on weekends. Laundry facilities are limited at some locations, with several parks providing clean, modern restrooms and shower facilities.

Great view
Nice park with water, electric hookups, and showers. Located right on the water. Spots are plenty large enough for multiple cars and there are two hiking trails. Solid spot for RVs and vans that want a beautiful lake view.
Disappointing and unnecessarily confrontational experience.
I booked and paid for a campsite at The Vineyards in my self-contained Sprinter camper van. I checked in without issue and had already spent one night there when the park manager, Lisa, approached me while I was relaxing inside my van to inform me that my vehicle was not welcome.
She stated that the city requires RVs to have hookups and be commercially manufactured. However, the campground’s published policies explicitly allow management to approve converted camper vans (and I am fully self-contained). It also allows for truck campers, which I suppose theoretically could have sewer hookups, but I assure you my custom converted Sprinter is more aesthetic than a truck camper, if that was her concern (no offense to my truck camper friends).
I also could not find the city ordinance she was referring to.
I understand that campgrounds have rules and that management has discretion to enforce them. What I don’t understand is why my reservation was accepted, why I was allowed to stay overnight, or why the situation needed to be handled so confrontationally.
When I offered to leave if they would refund my unused second night, Lisa told me it was too late for a refund and that I might as well stay.
So apparently my van was prohibited until refunding my money became the alternative.
I wasn’t causing a disturbance, requesting special accommodations, or asking to use facilities I hadn’t paid for. I was simply enjoying a campsite I’d reserved and paid for.
The campground itself is lovely, which makes the experience even more disappointing. A straightforward, respectful conversation about their policies would have been entirely reasonable. Instead, I was made to feel unwelcome at a place where I was already a paying guest.
If you’re traveling in a self-contained converted camper van, I’d strongly recommend getting written approval before booking, regardless of whether your reservation is accepted. And given that I am now reading other complaints of the staff being rude, I might avoid this spot altogether.
We had a great time here. Lots of shade, privacy and great view of lake
Folks want different things out of campsites. For me, it's scenic beauty, quiet for work and mental health, and nice places to take my dog. This checks all the boxes!
None of my reviews will be useful for amenities or activities because I just don't use them. I can't tell you about bathrooms, fishing, etc. I can tell you the water is very soft and feels slick or soapy even after you rinse. I have onboard reverse osmosis and wouldn't recommend drinking city water anywhere in Texas. There's too much oil production here and gas and chemicals are all over.
The staff at the gate were pleasant and said, "You must be David," when I pulled in, which was very nice and made it easy and welcoming.
Texas has many undiscovered and wonderful public lands, whether you're really camping or just working remote, watching the deer, or seeing the sunrise over a lake from your bedroom window. Get out here and come see them!
This is a great campground. Power was good, att service is good and the grounds are very clean. The only downside is no full hookups and the dump station is outside of the gate which they lock at 10pm and don't open again until 10am. So no getting back in while locked and you can't dump except when there are lines.
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!
Peaceful little park that sits just outside of the lake so the cove is nice to swim in . It’s Texas so there’s plenty of ants and mosquitoes but not an unusual amount . Lots of shade so pick smart if you need starlink
Quaint campground. A army core engineers park. Very nice lake view and about half the sites are on the water.
Grand Prairie RV parks sit within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex at an elevation ranging from 470 to 520 feet. The area experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 95°F from June through September, while winter nights can drop below freezing. Most RV sites in this region offer concrete pads with full hookups, though availability tightens considerably during NASCAR race weekends and major sporting events.
Flea market exploration: The massive weekend market at Traders Village draws shoppers from across the region. "Our 2nd visit and it is great, everything you need to live here on site. Not to mention, one of the biggest flee markets around and it's 2 days of walking and shopping," notes Alejandro G.
Sports venues: Stay near major stadiums within a short drive. "Located in Arlington smack dab in between D/FW. Just down the road from the Cowboys Stadium. 25 minutes to downtown Dallas and 20 to Fort Worth," explains Stacey about Treetops RV Resort.
Lake activities: Some parks feature water features for relaxation. "There is a pond with a fountain and a HUGE fireplace (not fire pit) for relaxing," shares Angela R. about Northside RV Resort, which offers a peaceful setting even during colder months.
Abundant shade: The mature trees at many parks provide relief from Texas heat. "Beautiful tree filled park. Super well maintained with a mix of pull through and back in sites. There is a ton of shade," writes Stacey about Treetops RV Resort.
Security features: Gated access at several parks offers peace of mind. "The park is gated and secure. Each shower has its own toilet and vanity behind a lockable door," notes Angela R. about Northside RV Resort.
Convenient shopping: Easy access to retail options makes these parks practical for longer stays. "There is major shopping just up the street," observes Troy about Treetops RV Resort, while Jessica F. adds, "Easy access to Target just around the corner, Parks mall is close by and Arlington Highlands shopping is really nice!"
Seasonal considerations: Summer heat impacts camping comfort considerably. From May through September, temperatures frequently exceed 95°F, making shade and functioning air conditioning essential.
Noise factors: Some parks experience traffic and railroad noise. "The road is very loud and there are train tracks with train horns blaring all night long. Make sure your bedroom faces away from the road for the best sleep," advises Tex B. about Northside RV Resort.
Insect issues: Warm weather brings pest challenges. "The bugs are bad here, we had ants in our trailer and lots of bites. When it rains stay on the pavement as the mud is nasty and gumbo," warns Tex B.
Bathroom limitations: Facilities vary widely between parks. "Never in all my years have I been to a park with no bathrooms or showers," notes Jackie E. about Plantation Place, explaining, "As long as you know this in advance and are OK with it, you'll be satisfied here."

Wildlife viewing: Some parks feature small ponds with waterfowl. David K. describes Rock Island RV Park: "Shortly after stepping into the park one is greeted by a quaint little pond with many of the RV units surrounding the water. Ducks and geese flock in the area and create a fun atmosphere."
Internet reliability: WiFi quality varies significantly between parks. "WiFi worked for my family of 5 the majority of the time for simple things. Hubby works remotely and went to Panera for stronger/faster service," reports Jessica F. about Treetops RV Resort.
Site selection strategy: Choose sites strategically based on amenities and location. "Our spot was 171 and was very well shaded, the only thing is our trailer was level but we felt like we were leaning back," shares Sybel P. about Treetops.
Extended stay considerations: Some parks are better suited for longer visits. "We stayed for about a month. Very nice and the staff is friendly. Has laundry facilities, 30/50 amp hookups, water, sewer, back-ins and pull-throughs," reports Candy A. about Plantation Place, which caters to longer-term guests.
