Visit Eagle Mountain Lake: Located northwest of Haltom City, campers staying at Lake Life RV Resort can explore Eagle Mountain Lake's recreational opportunities. "Great spot conveniently located walking distance from Eagle Mountain Lake. Across the street from a convenience store with food kitchen," notes one visitor.
Explore local shopping destinations: Traders Village features a massive flea market alongside its camping area. "This location has all your needs for as long of a stay you ever need. Propane refill station, fuel station, a store, hair shop, laundry mat, showers and restrooms. Not to mention, one of the biggest flee markets around and it's 2 days of walking and shopping," shares a camper.
Access area attractions: When camping at Treetops RV Resort, you're positioned between Dallas and Fort Worth. "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," states one reviewer about the convenient location.
What campers like
Shade coverage: Many campers appreciate the tree coverage at certain parks. At Treetops RV Resort, a visitor notes, "The trees are beautiful and add great shade. Most of spaces are pull through and very easy to setup at. We had a fire pit and picnic table."
Peaceful environments: Despite being near urban areas, some parks maintain quiet settings. One camper at Northlake Village RV Park describes it as a "Secluded quiet place near Roanoke and Grapevine."
Swimming options: During hot Texas summers, pools provide welcome relief. A Lake Life RV Resort guest mentions, "It only has seven spots so it's very quiet and well kept. Enjoy the swimming pool on a hot day."
What you should know
Extended stay options: Several parks accommodate longer-term campers. Northlake Village RV Park appears to cater to extended stays, with one reviewer noting, "From my own observations, it looks like this particular park caters to long term rentals more than it does short term. While staying here we met a few 'residence' who had been there for months."
Fire restrictions: Some parks prohibit open fires due to safety concerns or local regulations. Northlake Village RV Park explicitly lists fires as not allowed in their amenities.
WiFi reliability varies: Connection quality differs between parks. A Northlake Village visitor reported, "It was disappointing to discover that the FREE WiFi didn't work. I have a sneaky suspicion that the WiFi service we were given to connect to is not the one that long term renters get to use."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Cowtown RV Park offers facilities for children. One visitor mentioned, "It was a great location, quiet and had a playground for our kids."
Pool safety: Several parks feature swimming pools that can keep children entertained. At Cowtown RV Park, a visitor noted the "Nice little pool" and that it's "shallow for small children or if you just want to float around in the sun."
Kid-friendly shopping: Traders Village provides a unique experience for families. "Has water, power and sanitation too. Like I said. If you need it, it's on site or very close. Great rates and good folks," shares one reviewer about the combined camping and shopping experience.
Tips from RVers
Level concrete pads: Settlers Haven Mobile Home & RV Park offers practical setup for RVs. "Parking spots are level and have full hookups," notes one camper, though they describe it as "just a big parking lot" that's "Good for an overnight stop."
Transit convenience: Some parks serve well as home bases rather than destinations. A Settlers Haven visitor explained, "This is not a place to chill in to relax and 'camp'. It's perfect if you want to visit friends and will be out most of the time. It's also a great place to use as a home base to tour Dallas/Ft. Worth."
Site assistance: Many parks help with parking. At Cowtown RV Park, "The host bends over backwards to make your stay pleasurable, Larry escorted us to our pull through cement location and made sure we had everything we needed."
