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.

    Johnson Branch Campsites — Ray Roberts Lake State Park

    Relaxing near the city

    Not far from Fort Worth, but feels miles away when you are there! Big beautiful lake you can enjoy and fish, large park and volleyball courts. My only complaint was our ‘double’ site barely fit my sisters one camper. If we weren’t tenting we probably wouldn’t have had room so wouldnt recommend that specific site for two campers. Also don’t drink alcohol outside of your camper or vehicle the rangers will get on to you for it

    Lake Ray Hubbard RV Resort

    RV Park, Not Resort

    The park is average at best. Owners won’t pay for it to be well managed. Rhonda is their best asset and they take advantage of her. Park managers are severely under-qualified, rude, lazy, generally worthless. Minimal maintenance, mostly do everything you need done yourself. They provide mowing but with many restrictions. Only place I’ve ever had to deal with pests—mice, spiders, ants. Mostly long-term residents. Near lake, not lakeside, definitely a drive. They have family activities. Pool is mostly kids. Park overrun by unsupervised kids. Probably would look for different park next time.

    Dallas-Northeast Campground

    Nice place to stop

    Clean facilities and great staff. People were working on new features and cleaning all the time. We had lots of laundry to do, and they have plenty of modern machines. A nice pond to walk around.

    COE Benbrook Lake Mustang Park Bear Creek Campground

    Large and beautiful.

    Very large park with a lot of camping options. Wildlife is abundant. Cabins with RV site. Multiple boat ramps. Full sun, shade or partial. Would be a5 star if it was full hookups.

    Loyd Park

    Quiet and Serene

    We stayed here for four nights and it was a welcome retreat after staying in mini RV parks. Our spot was number 184. Not right on the water, but we can see the water from one of our windows. If we came back here again and we couldn’t get right on the water. I would choose a site with more shade like site number 190 has lots of shade.We’re here in October so it’s pretty warm. The hookups work well and the place is very well-maintained. I haven’t tried the public restrooms as our RV restroom is fine. I would definitely come back here again.

    Cedar Hill State Park Campground

    Not too impressed

    We arrived after hours after calling and instructed to just go to our campsite. The park had absolutely no signs indicating where the campground is. We were surprised to find a very sloping site with the cement bumpers missing rebar and very unsafe. No after hours phone number and no campground host. Is this any way to run a campground? We flagged down another camper who indicated that three sites were available when he checked in a couple of hours earlier. This is the first time that we encountered something like this in our years of camping. No one here to answer questions….sites in terrible disrepair still being represented as safe. We had to replace in the hopes that someone would not arrive to claim their site. In the morning we experienced pounding on our door to be challenged by armed…yes, they had guns, officers questioning why we were “squatting” Needless to say this campground is very disorganized and needs an after hours emergency phone number, campground host, safety inspections, as well as a manager who cares.

    Holiday Park Campground

    Small, fairly convenient, and very quiet CG

    We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 73 for 1 night in mid September. The CG is clean, well maintained. The CG roads are paved, but narrow and a little winding in places. The sites themselves all seemed mostly level. The CG was very quiet and peaceful. There were only 2 or 3 other campers in the CG while we were there. Our site, 73, was a pull-through, as were several, but some were back in. The registration card says to watch for branches if your RV is over 12’ tall, but there were several branches much lower than that leaving site 73. We were able to navigate to avoid most of them, but one was unavailable, so be advised. There were lots of deer that wandered through our part of the CG. 

    AT&T coverage was pretty good with 2 bars of LTE service and speeds up to 17 MB/s. We had a clear view to the N at the site, so Starlink was fine with speeds up to 20 MB/s.

    The Vineyards

    A must stay!!!

    In a very nice campground with spacious FHU sites that are concrete pads and level. Great views of the lake. A well equipped campground store with lots of items. Clean large bathrooms and showers as well as a laundry room. Have events throughout the week for social activities for adults and kids. Great hosts and a very well kept campground. Definitely a place to stay overnight or a week.
