Nice easy place to stay the night. Bathrooms and showers are super clean. Not the most scenic of places but quiet and fairly easy to access - highway construction was underway in June 2024.

Better send carrier pigeon....
Tried calling several times(during business hours) and wrote several times, never got back to me. Finally just drove there(through the rain), calling again about 5 minutes away. They finally answered only to be told they were full. Asked about other days and they said they weren't sure but to call the morning of. I said you know, I've called and wrote and left several messages- would've been nice to get a call back, as now I'm basically here. She said sorry and laughed. Seriously?! No online booking at all and incompetent management- who would call the morning of to see if you drive X amount of miles to stay? And I'm the idiot that drove there after not hearing back, ugh.

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.

Stayed here for a long weekend in January 2024. Very quiet.
Mark B.ScoutCedar Ridge Mobile Home & RV Park
Solid option if you're near Dallas
Stayed there during our trip to Texas, after visiting Big Bend. Overall, pretty good spot for RVing.
Couldn't find any photos, probably is on the camera I've left at my folks house during the trip.
Pros: easy to find, quick booking, good view.
Cons: can't remember any.
Also a semi-pro is that it's located pretty close to a bunch of outdoor sports stores( https://gritroutdoors.com/ is the one we've visited most I think) so if you forgot something on your trip - it's pretty easy to pick up.

kealsie M.ScoutDallas Hi Ho RV Park
absolute dump.
over charges for the lack of amenities they have. 2 toilets, 2 showers in the womens room, same in the mens. laundry rooms machines and constantly out of order. no change machine to do laundry either. playground consists of a swing set and a rustly merry-go-round both look over 30 years old. dumpsters are always full because people pull in and use them at night. assistant manager is a bitter woman who thinks shes entitled and can say whatever she wants to to anyone, same with the regular manager. water lines break constantly and water gets shut off to entire row to fix 1 spot. i do not trust even letting my 17 year old walk to the bath house by herself during the day because how sketchy some of the people living there are.

Pretty sunset right on the water
We got a primitive campsite right on the water and we’re able to fish a little bit once we arrived. We got there after 5 but there is a kiosk where you can check in and grab a map to find your site easily. The park is pretty big and there was a nice fire pit and picnic table we could use. It was still really hot during the time of year we went, but other than that it was nice.
