We were in the walnut loop, spot 52 and it was awesome. Plenty of room and the site backs up to the lake so we could walk a path from our site to the lake to fish.

TravelerThe Vineyards Campground & Cabins
Disappointing and unnecessarily confrontational experience.
I booked and paid for a campsite at The Vineyards in my self-contained Sprinter camper van. I checked in without issue and had already spent one night there when the park manager, Lisa, approached me while I was relaxing inside my van to inform me that my vehicle was not welcome.
She stated that the city requires RVs to have hookups and be commercially manufactured. However, the campground’s published policies explicitly allow management to approve converted camper vans (and I am fully self-contained). It also allows for truck campers, which I suppose theoretically could have sewer hookups, but I assure you my custom converted Sprinter is more aesthetic than a truck camper, if that was her concern (no offense to my truck camper friends).
I also could not find the city ordinance she was referring to.
I understand that campgrounds have rules and that management has discretion to enforce them. What I don’t understand is why my reservation was accepted, why I was allowed to stay overnight, or why the situation needed to be handled so confrontationally.
When I offered to leave if they would refund my unused second night, Lisa told me it was too late for a refund and that I might as well stay.
So apparently my van was prohibited until refunding my money became the alternative.
I wasn’t causing a disturbance, requesting special accommodations, or asking to use facilities I hadn’t paid for. I was simply enjoying a campsite I’d reserved and paid for.
The campground itself is lovely, which makes the experience even more disappointing. A straightforward, respectful conversation about their policies would have been entirely reasonable. Instead, I was made to feel unwelcome at a place where I was already a paying guest.
If you’re traveling in a self-contained converted camper van, I’d strongly recommend getting written approval before booking, regardless of whether your reservation is accepted. And given that I am now reading other complaints of the staff being rude, I might avoid this spot altogether.

Big and beautiful.
Lots of different types of sites. Large sites with a lot of privacy. Be sure to look at driveway lengths.

Hidden Cove Park & Marina
Great for first-timers and families
I stayed at Hidden Cove Park for 1 night in February with 2 kids. Overall, this spot is really nice. The campsites are clean, spacious, and close to the lake. You can walk right down and fish from the bank, and the views are calm and peaceful. Although the wind was so strong, we didn’t get much fishing done.
The setup is convenient too. There’s a water spigot at the site, a picnic table, nearby bathrooms that were decently clean, and a trash dumpster close by.
Privacy is the biggest downside. The campsites are pretty close together, so you’re definitely gonna see and hear your neighbors. I had some loud neighbors and had to ask them to turn the music down. Then at 12:01 AM… the same folks fired up an electric saw to cut firewood, which definitely messed up my rest. Not really the park’s fault, but the layout doesn’t provide much separation, so your experience depends a lot on who’s around you.
For those wondering about cost, it’s$25/night, which is a good deal for the amenities. But parking is another$20. I don’t understand that, but OK. With fees, my total came to about$70, plus another$5–6 for firewood.
Since the parking lot is nearby, you’ll see headlights shining through at night when cars pass. Not a dealbreaker, just something to know.
On the flip side, being close to the parking lot is actually good and the 2–3 minute walk made hauling gear easier.
No bugs at all while I was there. It was too windy to fish, but the kids still had a great time. There’s also a basketball court, volleyball area, and a hiking trail.
The restaurant was closed, which wasn’t a big deal, but would’ve been nice. They do sell firewood at the front for a good price.
I also love that it’s only 15 minutes from home, but it feels like a world away. That alone makes it a great little reset spot.
This is a great place for first-time campers, families, or even solo trips when you just need to get away for a bit.

Cedar Hill State Park Campground
Private sites.
Stayed in the Lakeside Loop. Very private patio areas. Large park. Pay close attention to site lengths. No margin for error. Swim beach, multiple boat ramps, perch pond and lots of day sites.

Wonderful Family Camping!
This was the first time our family has camped two consecutive nights. My two boys 4/5 had a blast at the site, walking the trails, and finding spots to throw rocks into the lake. We were surprised at how quiet the campsites were, especially with how many people were staying in the park. P1 was great, right next to parking and the street, which was also the only minor drawback. If staying primitive, P3 is the way to go. We will definitely be back!

RV sites are spacious
The RV sites have a full backyard in them with fire pit and easy access to hook up. The road in front feels kind of busy though, from the satellite view it looks pretty quaint but in reality it's kind of busy.
Guide to Lewisville Lake
Cabins near Lewisville Lake offer lakeside accommodations across several parks within the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area. These rentals range from basic structures to upscale units with private bathrooms and kitchenettes. Lake access varies by location, with some sites providing direct water frontage while others require a short walk to reach swimming areas and boat launches.
What to do
Water activities during summer months: Johnson Branch Campsites at Ray Roberts Lake State Park provides excellent access points for swimming. "The beach area at Johnson Branch is not as nice as Isle Du Bois, but everything else is very similar. Johnson Branch is not near as crowded around the water," according to visitor Kerry C.
Fishing opportunities: Fish for catfish and other species directly from designated areas. "My boys caught a 12 lb and 20 lb catfish right off the fishing dock" at The Vineyards Campground & Cabins, reports Natalie S.
Hiking and biking trails: Multiple parks offer trail networks for day trips. "We spent 2 nights in a RV. Was within close distance to where we were attending the football game," notes Leasa W. about Hidden Cove Park & Marina, highlighting its convenient location for combining outdoor recreation with other activities.
Rental equipment: Some parks offer equipment rentals for water recreation. "Rental paddle boarding, full marina, and swimming area" are available at Hidden Cove Park & Marina according to Richard M., making it easy to enjoy the lake without bringing your own gear.
What campers like
Private, wooded sites: Many campers appreciate shaded areas that offer some privacy. "The outer sites are more tree'd and private, while the inner spots have little to no trees or privacy. We switched to Bobcat Lane and were thoroughly impressed. Lots of trees and the sites were spaced apart," shares Jenny S. about her experience at Hidden Cove Park.
Clean facilities: Twin Coves Park receives praise for its maintenance standards. "Very clean, family friendly, well maintained," says Luis in his review, reflecting the general sentiment about the facilities at cabin properties around Lewisville Lake.
Security features: Many parks implement security measures. "Great security visible as well as a coded gate after hours" at The Vineyards Campground & Cabins, according to Andrew B., giving visitors peace of mind during their stay.
Accessibility for groups: Several cabin areas accommodate large parties. "We stayed here as a group traveling to the Frisco, Texas area for a college football game," mentions Leasa W., highlighting Hidden Cove's suitability for group events.
What you should know
Reservation requirements vary by season: Summer weekends often book up well in advance. "Reservations are strongly recommended over the weekend" at Loyd Park, says frederic N., emphasizing the importance of planning ahead during peak periods.
Additional fees may apply: Some parks charge daily entrance fees beyond cabin rental costs. "We purchased park pass as they charge daily fee of $10 per vehicle" at Loyd Park, notes TJ & Laura S., which can add to your total trip cost.
Weather considerations: The Texas climate affects camping conditions year-round. "It gets hot" at Johnson Branch unit, warns Matt S., suggesting visitors plan activities accordingly during summer months.
Varying cabin standards: Accommodation quality differs between locations. "The cabins are well equipped" at Twin Coves Park, while other locations may offer more rustic options without full amenities.
Tips for camping with families
Look for dedicated play areas: Several parks offer children's facilities. "Great bike trails. Friendly staff and lovely sites, each pretty secluded from each other" at Loyd Park according to Cactus A., making it ideal for families wanting recreational options beyond water activities.
Cabin camping with kids: Cedar Hill State Park provides options for families new to camping. "The park is designed with small loops for 15-20 camp sites in each loop. Very little traffic right by the individual spots," says Michael C., creating a safer environment for children.
Beach access for swimming: Many families appreciate designated swimming areas. "A big beach, park area to enjoy" at Loyd Park gives children supervised places to cool off, according to TJ & Laura S.
Wildlife awareness: Natural encounters can be both educational and challenging. "Family of turkey's hangs out at the campgrounds. I get it is nature, but with little kids or dogs it is not the safest," warns Mary Elisabeth D. about Hidden Cove, suggesting parents maintain supervision.
Tips from RVers
Site selection for big rigs: Large RVs have specific needs at cabin-oriented parks. "Campsites are a little close together nearest the water but probably the best sites in the Park," advises Myc C. about Loyd Park, suggesting waterfront sites balance proximity with premium location.
Hook-up availability: Utility connections vary by site. "Nice large concrete spaces with plenty of room for a 44' 5th wheel, tow vehicle and extra vehicle" at Sanger - Denton North KOA, according to Rachel P., making it suitable for larger setups despite feeling "commercialized."
Seasonal considerations: Weather impacts RV camping comfort. "You'll need it in summer time" regarding 50 amp service at Loyd Park, warns John B., highlighting the importance of adequate power for air conditioning during hot Texas summers.
Proximity to services: Many parks offer convenient access to urban amenities. "Apart from the stunning scenery, the climate in that region is genuinely delightful" at Rock Island RV Park according to Sabrina C., providing a balance of natural setting with access to services.
