Camping near Lewisville Lake
Lewisville Lake in north Texas features multiple developed campgrounds with both lakefront and wooded sites. The Vineyards Campground & Cabins offers cabin rentals alongside traditional camping, while Hickory Creek and Willow Grove Park provide a mix of RV hookups and tent camping. Several campgrounds around the lake maintain water and electric hookups, with most sites being accessible year-round. Twin Coves Park and Hidden Cove Park & Marina also offer cabin accommodations for those seeking alternatives to tent or RV camping.
Camping areas around Lewisville Lake generally require reservations, particularly for weekend stays and during summer months. Most campgrounds feature paved or gravel sites with varying degrees of levelness and shade. Weather remains mild year-round, though summer temperatures often exceed 90°F, making waterfront sites especially desirable. The proximity to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex means these campgrounds balance natural settings with suburban convenience. Several campgrounds have gates that close in the evening, affecting late arrivals. A camper noted, "The front gate gets locked at 11pm. If you don't make it, you have to park outside and walk in."
The developed campgrounds near Lewisville Lake consistently receive praise for their waterfront views and spacious sites. Willow Grove Park stands out with reviewers mentioning "lots of space between campers" and "beautiful views everywhere." Several visitors highlighted the peaceful atmosphere, with one describing "hearing ducks, geese and cranes on the lake at night." Camping experiences vary between weekdays and weekends, with some parks experiencing higher traffic and noise levels during weekends. Site selection proves important, as shaded spots are limited in certain areas, particularly for larger RVs requiring 50-amp service. Despite their suburban location, these campgrounds provide a surprising amount of natural scenery and wildlife viewing opportunities along the lakeshore.

Beautiful and quiet. Widely spaced sites in loops, but challenging to back in.
Folks want different things out of campsites. For me, it's scenic beauty, quiet for work and mental health, and nice places to take my dog. This checks all the boxes!
None of my reviews will be useful for amenities or activities because I just don't use them. I can't tell you about bathrooms, fishing, etc. I can tell you the water is very soft and feels slick or soapy even after you rinse. I have onboard reverse osmosis and wouldn't recommend drinking city water anywhere in Texas. There's too much oil production here and gas and chemicals are all over.
The staff at the gate were pleasant and said, "You must be David," when I pulled in, which was very nice and made it easy and welcoming.
Texas has many undiscovered and wonderful public lands, whether you're really camping or just working remote, watching the deer, or seeing the sunrise over a lake from your bedroom window. Get out here and come see them!

Great spot on the lake
This is a great campground. Power was good, att service is good and the grounds are very clean. The only downside is no full hookups and the dump station is outside of the gate which they lock at 10pm and don't open again until 10am. So no getting back in while locked and you can't dump except when there are lines.

Lived here long term in a THOW, quiet, peaceful, good people. Park is coming a long way, affordable, easy, close to town, no complaints.

Very dark at night but a great site overall!
Great roads. You hit some well maintained gravel coming into the campsite and the sites are pretty well spaced. Only note
tim R.ScoutTriple Creek rv park
Best Kept Secret in Caddo Mills: Relaxing, Welcoming, and Fun
We have called Triple Creek RV Park home for two and a half years, and it is hands-down the most welcoming, peaceful place we’ve ever stayed. We originally moved here looking for quiet and serenity after a major health battle, and what we found was a true community. The owners treat everyone like family from day one, and neighbors often gather to chat, share cookouts, or head out for group trail rides. We loved living here so much that my in-law bought a camper and moved out here long-term, too!
At just $600 a month with all utilities and amenities included (or $50/night for short-term stays), it is an unbeatable value in North Texas. Every lot features dedicated full hookups (50/30/20-amp electric, solid water pressure, and on-site sewer at the pad).
Park Highlights:
Trails & Riding: Wooded acreage with cleared trails perfect for side-by-sides, golf carts, four-wheelers, or scenic evening walks.
Water Amenities: A clean, well-maintained saltwater pool and two quiet fishing ponds right on property.
Pet Friendly: Dedicated dog runs with open space to exercise your pets, plus more park improvements continually underway.
Peace & Quiet: Completely peaceful once the sun goes down, offering dead-quiet country nights and wide-open, star-filled skies.
Great Local Access: Peaceful country setting, yet only 3 to 5 minutes from downtown Caddo Mills favorites like Frankie June’s Bar and Grill, Bucky’s Cafe, and Twilight Coffee Co.
Whether you're looking for a relaxing weekend retreat, traveling for work along the I-30 corridor, or searching for an affordable long-term community, Triple Creek is a true hidden gem.

So pretty
Camped in site 14. Level site, beautiful view of the lake with covered concrete table. You can walk down to the lake to swim. BUT ants! Make sure you take precautions to keep them out of your rig!

We followed down old Decatur Road and turn down for service Road 942. There are lots of open areas that are flat for you to camp out overnight. The road coming in is gravel, but in great shape. We parked in the shade and it’s quite pleasant outside.

King RV Park
The new king of RV parks near Winstar
King RV Park not only sets a high standard for RV visitors to the Winstar casino area, it's a model of how American business and customer service should be conducted!
As a small business owner myself, I'm always impressed when I meet someone like Huy Ho who is not satisfied with just doing enough. He's committed to going the extra mile to make his guests feel welcome and wanted and eager to return. That's a rare quality these days and it needs to come back.
I won't spoil the story with the details of all the ways King RV Park went out of their way to help me, a first time RV driver on my first night in a park... ever! What's great about this place is that they adapt to you, and you'll leave with your own special stories of the time you spend there.
If you're planning to get an Uber from the park to the casino, try asking for a ride instead because Uber doesn't respond, even though the casino is 2 miles away. They will pick you up there and bring you back, however.
If you're stopping in Oklahoma, visiting the Texas Panhandle like I was (Pro tip: King RV Park is an easy one day drive to Palo Duro Canyon State Park, which is nothing short of spectacular!), or just want to be near the world's largest casino (you can see it from your rig), don't hesitate to call Mr. Ho directly or reserve online. You'll be glad you did!
Guide to Lewisville Lake
Lewisville Lake campsites sit within a suburban setting of north Texas, surrounded by multiple municipalities of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Seasonal water levels fluctuate significantly, with spring months often seeing higher water that can impact shoreline access at certain campgrounds. The lake spans over 29,000 acres with 233 miles of shoreline, creating numerous cove areas popular for overnight camping.
What to do
Kayaking and paddling access: Pilot Knoll Park offers calm water areas in protected coves perfect for beginners. "We stayed in spot#5 right at the end of the cove. Calm water, large lot land area and clean, easy access to walk right into the lake to swim, and space to dock your boat make the cove side of the park an excellent score," notes a camper at Pilot Knoll Park Campground.
Hiking options: Ray Roberts Lake State Park provides trail systems connecting camping areas. A visitor explained, "The primitive sites in the Hawthorne campgrounds are spaced a good distance apart and really give you a feel of isolation. Sites on the perimeter all have lake access where you can pull a boat up. We have car camped on a few occasions here and each time we saw plenty of deer around camp." Isle du Bois Campsites offers additional hiking opportunities just north of Lewisville Lake.
Swimming areas: Many lakeside campgrounds maintain designated swimming spots. At Twin Coves Park, "There are a few places to swim, but none of them shaded. Saw lots of paddle boards and kayaks along with the boats," according to a tent camper. Twin Coves Park also offers kayak rentals for exploring the cove.
What campers like
Spacious sites: Willow Grove Park receives consistent praise for site separation. A reviewer notes, "Beautiful place and a lot of space between sites." Another camper describes the experience: "Super beautiful, clean, modern campsite. The wifi is not very reliable. The bathrooms and showers work, and are clean (other than the bugs obviously)."
Waterfront accessibility: Many campers prioritize direct water access at Hickory Creek. "We hopped over for a one night trip and had a blast! Our site was right off the water with a fun view (at night) of the lake Lewisville bridge. Sites were large enough for us (tent campers) without feeling too close to our rv/camper neighbors!" shares a family camper.
Wildlife viewing: The suburban setting surprisingly supports diverse wildlife. At Hickory Creek, a camper describes: "This definitely isn't wilderness and as another reviewer pointed out, the campground can be noisy. It's located adjacent to I-35, just west of the Lake Lewisville bridge, so there's traffic noise depending on how close you're camped to the road."
What you should know
Gate restrictions: Several campgrounds implement evening closures. At Lake Park Campground, a visitor warns: "Front gate get locked at 11pm. If you don't make it, you have to park outside and walk in."
Traffic patterns: Being close to urban areas means vehicle flow can impact quietness. At Willow Grove Park, a camper mentioned, "No 5 stars because anybody can access in and out at anytime, that makes it not very quite do to traffic driving around."
Security considerations: The suburban setting presents unique challenges. One solo female traveler at Willow Grove noted: "The park is technically closed at 10pm but there's no gate and technically anyone can drive in any time. I saw the police drive through often, but it still didn't feel as secure as other campsites I've been to."
Tips for camping with families
Playground facilities: Multiple campgrounds offer play areas for children. At Hidden Cove Park & Marina, "The day use area on the lake was quite busy, but the 'beach' gave the kids a great way to cool off and burn off some energy."
Cabin options: For families wanting more comfort, several sites offer cabin rentals. The Vineyards Campground provides high-quality accommodations: "Check-in was very easy, sites were very clean and well maintained, playground was amazing with an awesome 'roller-coaster' swing that the teenagers even loved."
Wildlife interactions: Children often enjoy the wildlife encounters. One parent at Hickory Creek shared, "Our 5 & 4 year old boys loved running around, throwing rocks in the lake, and the park host dropped by and gave them a frisbee to play with!"
Tips from RVers
Hookup positioning: Be prepared for some challenges with utility connections. At Lake Park Campground, a visitor warned: "Connections for water and electric aren't in best spots but able to reach. They offer extension cords."
Parking regulations: Several campgrounds enforce strict parking rules. "They are strict about parking; I got woken up around 1:30am by local police because I parked in an area I wasn't allowed to and also forgot to print a permit to put on my dash," reports a camper at Willow Grove Park.
Dump station locations: Not all sites offer sewer hookups at individual sites. A new RVer at Hickory Creek noted: "The only 'negative' I found is that the sewage hook up is not at the actual site. There are dump stations in different places. It was a bit nerve wrecking to use the dump station while people waited behind me."
