10 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Lake Dallas offers several dedicated RV parks with full hookup capabilities, making it one of the more practical areas for RV camping in north Texas. RV campgrounds in the area range from large-scale facilities with 50-amp service to year-round resorts with fire pits, giving travelers flexible options across different rig sizes and trip lengths. Shady Creek RV Park in Aubrey features 207 sites with water, sewer, and both 30- and 50-amp electrical connections on spacious gravel pads. Waggin Tail Ranch RV Park maintains 98 sites with 50-amp service and sewer hookups for larger motorhomes. "Nice big fenced RV spots with big yards. The long term sites are well maintained, the staff do a great job of keeping the place nice," notes one visitor about Waggin Tail Ranch. Lake Point RV Resort provides 115 sites with full hookups and accommodates big rigs with pull-through access, while Destiny Dallas RV Resort in Denton remains open year-round with fire pits permitted at most sites.
Most RV parks in the Lake Dallas area require reservations, particularly during summer months when proximity to the water makes them popular destinations. Several parks offer dedicated dog areas, including Waggin Tail Ranch with its dog park and pond. Sanitary dump stations are available at most locations including Destiny Dallas and Lake Point, though visitors should note that some parks enforce breed restrictions for pets. While most parks provide concrete or gravel pads, leveling equipment may be necessary at certain locations. The area experiences hot summers with limited natural shade at newer facilities. Parks located within 10-15 miles of Lake Dallas provide convenient access to urban amenities while maintaining a sense of retreat from city congestion.

"My husband and I stayed at Sugar Hill RV Resort for a few months this summer so we could spend more time with our kids and grandbabies."
"I've been RVing for a lot of years, and I can honestly say Sugar Hill RV Resort is one of the nicest places my wife and I have stayed. One of my favorite things about this park is the landscaping."
"It’s very clean and quiet. 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."
"Located in Arlington smack dab in between D/FW. Just down the road from the Cowboys Stadium (if that is your thing LOL). 25 minutes to downtown Dallas and 20 to Fort Worth."
"The roads are wide (gravel) and plenty of space between sites. Ours was pull through. The community center is cute! The bathrooms/showers are very clean."
"I cannot speak highly enough of Lake Point RV Resort. We stayed for nearly a year, and moved out to pursue some amazing opportunities."

"Nothing fancy and definitely off the beaten path."
from $55 / night












Great place
We were in the walnut loop, spot 52 and it was awesome. Plenty of room and the site backs up to the lake so we could walk a path from our site to the lake to fish.
Great view
The KOA is clean and well maintained. There is lits of space for the pull throughs. Dog park is amazing, host are friendly and kind. They are very welcoming and the store is small, but clean with a little bit of everything for everyone! We will definitely be back!
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.
Super easy in and out. Pretty much every amenity that you would want at a very modern campground.
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.
Red River RV Resort (Deluxe) in Thackerville OK is a hot mess to be polite. The entire campground is covered with goathead sand burrs. It's impossible to go outside and enjoy any part of the campground. If you do go out you have to be very careful not to bring any of the sand burrs into the camper. The property owner / management knows of the campground issues but they're not doing anything to fix the issues. The pool and hot tub are disgusting, both have green slimy water with leaves, dirt and whatever else blew into it. The community room is locked and you have to ask at the office to get access. The community room has multiple TV's but none if them turn on so whats point in having them. On the good side it has two nice pool tables so its has some purpose. The gym area is packed with equipment but looks more like a storage locker than a gym.The campground has a good laundry room and okay WIFI. The showers are okay, older facilty but it all works. It has a fenced dog park but again It's covered with sand burrs so its unuseable. There's several empty/abandonded campers through out the campground. We went down the street to the local public park, sadly the park is unuseable as well due to the sand burrs being everywhere. It appears sand burrs are a bigger issue in the area and just not only at the campground. The campsites have full hook ups, some of the sewer hose tubes have caps while others don't. The neighboring campsite sewer connection didnt have a sewer cap and it has a huge wolf spider living in it.... we had planned to stay the full 14 days but leaving early due to the 8 billion sand burrs. Our dog is unable to walk in the grass, dirt, pavement without a paw full of sand burrs. I'm very disappointed C2C thinks this is a deluxe campground, I would be embarrassed to be in any way connected to it. There's other campgrounds in the area that have similar nightly cost ($40 - $50) if I was to pay outside of the C2C members rate with useable grass yards, clean useable swimming pools and community rooms. This could be an amazing campground if someone would fix the issues. As it stands now I would avoid this campground at all costs.
We had a great time here. Lots of shade, privacy and great view of lake
