    Lake Dallas, Texas

    Overview

    Hickory Creek sits on the extremely popular Lewisville Lake near Dallas, Texas. The almost 30,000-acre reservoir attracts a fair amount of visitors in summer months with warm water temperatures and excellent fishing opportunities.

    Recreation

    Visitors at Lewisville Lake enjoy picnicking, swimming, boating, fishing and relaxing. Photographers will stay entertained with wildlife and colorful sunsets, while hikers and bikers like to explore the 50 miles of natural surface and paved trails surrounding the lake.

    Natural Features

    The lake stems from the Elm Fork of the Trinity River in northern Texas, and offers little visibility, but plenty of room for boating and watercraft. The park sits on the Hickory Creek Arm of Lewisville Lake, very near to the suburbs of Dallas, Texas.

    WARNING : NO BATHROOMS NO SHOWERS

    WARNING: NO BATHROOMS, NO SHOWERS. Quiet park with easy access to Dallas. Nice dog walking area and dog park. Full hookups. I get that RVs have bathrooms and most have showers, but never in all my years have I been to a park with no bathrooms or showers. Based on the reviews of others a year or more ago I would have to assume there are no plans for any in the future. As long as you know this in advance and are OK with it, you'll be satisfied here. For me,$36, 2 1/2 hours of an afternoon and a trip to Loves for a 2 showers and all was good but I'd have planned differently had I known.

    We loved it!

    The park is clean and well kept. We like that it is close enough to the city if we need to go to town but it feels like you are in the country. They were having a get together for all the guests with a band and food but we had to leave the day before. I thought that was a really fun idea and would have loved to been able to attend. Maybe next time we can stay a little longer and explore Cleburne more.

    NOT PET FRIENDLY FOR GREAT DANES

    Everything says "Pet Friendly" , however when we tried to book a spot for a month they said I couldn't bring my Great Dane puppy bc of the breed and insurance. Do not recommend if you have a gentle giant, such my service Dane.

    Great Place

    This is a newer RV “resort” that is still growing. The pool isn’t open yet but will be very nice when it is. There is a pavilion for large gatherings, a camp store, and laundry on site. The roads and pads are all concrete with full hookups. The park is well maintained, aesthetically pleasing, and everyone is very nice. Give this place a try if you’re nearby.

    Close to Nature

    I wish I could rate this campground higher because it was so peaceful with quite a bit of bushy vegetation to provide a small measure of privacy between sites. This is as close to nature as one can get in a campground!  There was poison ivy on the trees next to us and in the mowed ground around the campsite.  There were so many butterflies, flies, and other flying insects on the sunny side of our RV that it made entering and exiting through the sliding door very difficult. And, the ANTS! After one night in our site, the ants had formed an active trail to the top of our RV. Consequently, we had ants inside the RV!

    The roads inside the campground need to be repaved.

    The camp host and the park ranger were both very friendly and informative.

    East Fork Park Campground

    Functional with good views

    Pros: Great views of the water and wildflowers in the meadows. Reasonable price. Everything works and the shaded picnic tables are a plus. 5G plus signal on ATT for anything you might need online. Downsides: It looks like there could be a lot of water pooled on and behind our site with a heavy rain. The pad has definitely broken up over time and isn't level. The fire pit is also sitting at an angle. We noticed two groups of campers with 4-6 extra cars having gatherings last night, so that might have been distracting if we were right next to them.

Guide to Lancaster

Camping near Lancaster, TX, offers a great mix of outdoor fun and relaxation. With several campgrounds nearby, you can enjoy nature while still being close to the city.

What to do:

  • Hiking and Biking: Many campgrounds have trails for hiking and biking. For example, at Cedar Hill State Park Campground, one visitor mentioned, "A very big old park...has a fish pond, wonderful beach and day sites." This park is perfect for those who love to explore nature on foot or by bike.

  • Fishing: If you enjoy fishing, Lake Whitney State Park Campground is a great spot. A camper shared, "Good amount of room, lake views for the most part. Lake access but everything is rock." Bring your fishing gear and enjoy a peaceful day by the water.

  • Wildlife Watching: Campgrounds like Purtis Creek State Park Campground are known for their wildlife. One visitor noted, "The camping isn’t primitive as such but it has campsites segregated by bushes, ensuring privacy." Keep an eye out for deer and other animals during your stay.

What campers like:

  • Clean Facilities: Campers appreciate well-maintained restrooms and showers. At Hickory Creek - Lewisville Lake, a reviewer said, "Restroom facilities are clean. My one complaint is there's a playground on their map but no actual playground that we could find." Clean facilities make for a more enjoyable camping experience.
  • Friendly Staff: Many campers mention the helpfulness of the staff. A visitor at Isle du Bois — Ray Roberts Lake State Park remarked, "The park staff were very friendly and helpful." Friendly staff can make your stay more pleasant.
  • Spacious Campsites: Campers enjoy having enough space between sites. At Lake Tawakoni State Park Campground, one camper noted, "The grounds are well kept and sites are level." Spacious sites allow for a more comfortable camping experience.

What you should know:

  • Reservations Recommended: Many campgrounds get busy, especially on weekends. A camper at Cleburne State Park Campground advised, "It is quite busy on the weekends being so close to civilization, so make reservations in advance."
  • Limited Cell Service: If you rely on your phone, be prepared for spotty service. A visitor at Hidden Cove Park & Marina mentioned, "For T-Mobile service is not good enough for work or streaming." It’s a good idea to plan ahead for this.
  • Weather Considerations: Texas weather can be unpredictable. One camper at Lake Tawakoni State Park Campground noted, "It had been raining a lot, so things were pretty muddy." Be sure to check the forecast before your trip.

Tips for camping with families:

  • Choose Family-Friendly Campgrounds: Look for campgrounds with amenities for kids. At The Vineyards Campground & Cabins, a reviewer said, "A cute little campstore, an amazing playground for our kids, a beach." This makes it easier to keep the little ones entertained.
  • Pack for Comfort: Bring along items like air mattresses for a better night's sleep. A camper at Purtis Creek State Park Campground mentioned, "Make sure you have a good air mattress." Comfort is key for a fun family trip.
  • Plan Activities: Have a list of activities to keep everyone engaged. A visitor at Cedar Hill State Park Campground shared, "We got a primitive campsite right on the water and we’re able to fish a little bit once we arrived." Fishing and hiking can be great family activities.

Tips from RVers:

  • Check Site Amenities: Make sure your site has the necessary hookups. A camper at Hickory Creek - Lewisville Lake noted, "Each site is paved and has the following amenities: picnic table, bbq, fire pit." Knowing what’s available can help you prepare better.
  • Be Mindful of Space: RV sites can vary in size. A visitor at Cedar Hill State Park Campground mentioned, "Water pressure was 50 psi, sewer hookup was close." Make sure your RV fits comfortably in the space provided.
  • Plan for Dump Stations: Some campgrounds have dump stations away from the sites. A camper at Lake Tawakoni State Park Campground said, "The dump station can get a little busy around checkout time." Be prepared for this when planning your stay.

Camping near Lancaster, TX, has something for everyone, whether you're looking for a family getaway or a peaceful retreat in nature.
