Great stay!
We really enjoyed this park. 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. The bath houses are nice and private. We used the laundry services and everything worked properly. The staff is very friendly and easy to access in case you need something. Fitness room is little but updated and clean. My boys jumped in the pool even though it was 55* outside and said it was a fun experience. Easy access to Target just around the corner, Parks mall is close by and Arlington Highlands shopping is really nice! The road into the park is only 2 lanes with no shoulder, but as a Michigander I’m finding Texas roads to be interesting 😅 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.
We did stay in 2 spaces as we extended our stay and someone had previously booked our space.

Hidden Cove Park & Marina
Not just for camping!
Clean and spacious RV sites in two areas, about 100 total and several with water view. Open and tree covered sites in both. Cabins also available, again several with water views. Two designated tent camping areas separate from RVs. Dry storage and dump station on property as well. The park offers open activity areas and covered picnic tables by the water. A 3-lane boat ramp to Lewisville Lake, rental paddle boarding, full marina, and swimming area. Seasonal restaurant with indoor & outdoor eating areas. Privately owned so there is an entry fee, but 2 or 3 levels of yearly membership passes available saves a lot! Currently upgrading to full hookup for all RV sites and wifi.

Steve C.ScoutCedar Hill State Park Campground
Nice State Park
Nice state Park. We stayed here 3 nights. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Although the park has been around awhile it is maintained well. Our site had plenty of room to the next site, had a covered picnic table, fire ring, and lantern hanger. Water pressure was 50 psi, sewer hookup was close, but electrical box was in the front and most modern RV's electrical connection in the back (30 foot cable just reached). The park is close (2.5 miles) to Cedar Hill where you can find shopping, dining, fuel, etc. Would stay here again.

Cedar Hill State Park Campground
family fun
I've been camping here plenty of times as a kid growing up in Cedar Hill, TX. My family and I would camp in the spring, early/late summer, and fall months. Plenty of sites have a campfire grill and picnic table along with electrical outlets. Good camping sites for "glampers" who have to have Internet access and electronic use. Finding/reserving a campsite is super easy at the welcome center where you pay an entrance fee to the park. Plenty of lake to share with other people at this state park. My brother would go fishing at the smaller ponds here. At some campsites, you can here the traffic passing by on FM 1382, but if you can sleep through that noise, you'll be fine. Plenty of hiking/biking trails as well. Great to bring pets. Bathrooms are available as well near many of the campgrounds.

Lovely setting, clean
There are ample spots, very spread out—although there is not any kind of screening between sights. Covered picnic tables and fire rings, big boat launch and lovely views of the lake.

The Vineyards Campground & Cabins
Very nice
Our site had a concrete pad for our rv. Full hookups are very nice. While we were here nightly thunderstorms came in. The staff were on top of it as they drove around alerting everyone about the wind approaching. Clean laundry room and restrooms. We didn’t use the store due to corona fears and didn’t need to. Pet friendly. Quiet at night. I would absolutely stay here and recommend it to anyone. The only spring time issue is lake flooding will close it.

Discount with National Park pass
Shady
Quiet
Dark sky friendly
Nice metal roof cover over concrete picnic table
Saw park ranger drive thru during daylight
2 bars T-MOBILE
Successful streaming with T-MOBILE hotspot device
Cons
So day #2 without any TP in men’s restroom. Went to front gate to report it and was told they would call it into the Army Corps of Engineers as gate volunteers have no stock of TP on hand. Never saw any TP before leaving on third day
Toilet facility #1 women’s had raw sewage throughout deep enough to cover your foot. Site 11 has electrical hook up at rear on the door side of the camper
Site 11 water connection is centered at the rear of the parking pad.
Site 11 unlevel.
Numerous piles of charcoal ash throughout site 11 campsite not in the fire pit.
Concrete picnic table needs degreased as surface has lots of large greasy stain
Site numbers are painted on the concrete picnic table so extremely difficult to see in the dark.

Guide to Lancaster
Camping cabins near Lancaster, Texas offer overnight accommodations within a 30-mile radius of this Dallas-Fort Worth area community. The region experiences hot summers with temperatures often exceeding 95°F from June through September, while winters remain relatively mild. Several lakeside camping options provide water access during warmer months, with most cabin facilities open year-round regardless of seasonal conditions.
What to do
Hiking trails and lakeside recreation: Cedar Hill State Park Campground offers outdoor activities beyond cabin stays. "Very clean and picturesque park, would come back for sure," notes Shawn E. The park features several loop trails for day hiking accessible directly from camping areas.
Water activities on Joe Pool Lake: Loyd Park provides direct water access for swimming and boating. "We spent three days there swimming and hiking around. Great times!" shares Myc C. The park maintains a designated swimming beach area that becomes particularly popular during summer weekends.
Fishing opportunities: Hidden Cove Park & Marina offers shoreline fishing near cabin sites. "We stayed in site 44b at Hidden Cove Park. Great full service restaurant and marina where you can rent all types of water toys," reports Chris P. Both bank fishing and boat-based angling are permitted with proper Texas fishing licenses.
What campers like
Spacious cabin sites: Most cabin areas feature adequate spacing between units. At Loyd Park, "Sites are spaced far apart all come with fire ring and covered picnic table," according to Tammie L., who appreciated their site's proximity to water.
Security measures: Several campgrounds maintain controlled access for overnight guests. At The Vineyards Campground & Cabins, "Great security visible as well as a coded gate after hours," notes Andrew B., providing peace of mind for visitors concerned about security.
Clean facilities: Bathroom cleanliness varies across locations, with newer facilities typically receiving higher marks. "Very clean with four bathroom/shower rooms and laundry room as well," mentions one camper about newer facilities, while another notes that at Hidden Cove, "The shower situation is SCARY!!!! They have not cleaned out the spider webs and dead bugs and crawling things from the ceiling in YEARS!!!"
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most Lancaster-area cabin sites require advance booking, especially during peak seasons. At Northside RV Resort, "Throughout the online reservation process nothing is disclosed regarding the terms and conditions. After they take and accept your money, they email you a link to the terms and conditions," cautions Chip W., suggesting careful review of cancellation policies.
Seasonal pricing variations: Cabin costs typically increase during summer months and on weekends. Several locations charge additional fees for day visitors beyond registered overnight guests.
Site conditions vary widely: Quality differences exist between cabin offerings. While some provide hotel-like amenities, others offer more rustic experiences. "Nice hard sites all with 20/30/50a, cable TV, and full hookups," notes Tex B. about one location, while others may feature more basic accommodations.
Tips for camping with families
Children's activities: North Texas Jellystone offers extensive family programming. "This is literally the best campground for families. There are tons of activities, games, crafts, pools, petting zoo, water park, and more," shares Lauren Z. Family-focused events typically run during weekend stays.
Playground access: Several locations feature play areas for children. At The Vineyards, one visitor reported, "Playground was amazing with an awesome 'roller-coaster' swing that the teenagers even loved."
Wildlife awareness: Bug protection is essential, particularly during warmer months. "Fire ants and chiggers all over our campsite!" warned Jill C. about Cedar Hill State Park, highlighting the importance of proper footwear and insect repellent.
Tips from RVers
Site selection guidance: At Treetops RV Resort, "Lots of shade, and the trees were trimmed with plenty of room," reports Justin D., noting the importance of overhead clearance for larger vehicles. Call ahead for specific cabin dimensions if planning to park RVs alongside cabins.
Utility connections: Connection quality varies between locations. "We had to use the dump station. But apparently they are creating some full hookup sites so we will be back," noted one camper about Loyd Park, suggesting ongoing improvements.
Extended stays: Some parks offer weekly and monthly cabin rates for longer visits. "We stayed here for a couple weeks till I can get into a location for long term. Very friendly people and felt very safe and secure in the park," notes Shannon D. about Dallas/Arlington KOA Holiday, which provides both short-term and extended cabin options.
