Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Lewisville Lake

Boyd is a true Texas small town with a pleasant hometown strip just up the road from Boyd RV Park. The small park boasts showers, a pets area, and a back area with nice country views and fields. The dog park has a good amount of space and is the nicest part of the park for stretching your legs.

It does not have a crowded vibe, and has everything to meet the basic needs of the RV or camper campers and then some. Prices are some of the best around, and if you need supplies or places to dine out, it is all a short walk away.

We traveled from West Texas, stayed 4 nights, had rain almost every day. The park is well laid out, small clean well maintained yards. The paved road was beginning to break up from all the rain with pot holes and new ones beginning to pop up. The pads are gravel and almost level. A few guests have been here a while, did see several arrivals and departures. Pet friendly, keep an eye on your pooch as one morning a large dog broke his/her leash one morning and attacked a lady's dog and knocked her down. She was not injured and her doggie is ok. We did not make it to the pool, the patio or to the dog park. All looked great from a distance. Verizon, full bars of service! 🙂

Look, I found this campground by total accident following signs. There is so much construction around Lewisville Lake it is difficult to get where you want to go. There are better parks around Lewisville Lake like Pilot Knoll Park.

This is mostly for RV's and camper trailers. There are a few tent sites near the beach but you are surrounded by baseball fields and city parks. It has a shower house and a laundry facility, but the campsites are stacked on top of each other.

The campground staff was very helpful.

Place not too bad. Really is just a big parking lot. Parking spots are level and have full hookups. Very nice dog park next door. Eileen helped me on phone. Was very nice. Her number is 817-609-9509. Good for an overnight stop. Near Lockheed Airforce Base so planes flying over.

Lewisville Lake has some of the best restroom and shower facilities we’ve seen. Always clean, accessible (not cramped) and the showers have a large dressing area.

We like the deer that regularly come through, easy lake access and walking trails.

If you’re looking for something more remote, this is NOT for you, but if you’re camping with little kids, Walmart is right down the road which may be convenient.

The sites are level and easy to get into. The manager was really nice. Electrical, water, and sewer worked well. The dog park next door is nice. This is a mixed use RV / Full timer place. It was safe and quiet. This is not a place to chill in to relax and “camp”. It’s perfect if you want to visit friends and will be out most of the time. It’s also a great place to use as a home base to tour Dallas/ Ft. Worth.

WARNING: NO BATHROOMS, NO SHOWERS. Quiet park with easy access to Dallas. Nice dog walking area and dog park. Full hookups. I get that RVs have bathrooms and most have showers, but never in all my years have I been to a park with no bathrooms or showers. Based on the reviews of others a year or more ago I would have to assume there are no plans for any in the future. As long as you know this in advance and are OK with it, you'll be satisfied here. For me,$36, 2 1/2 hours of an afternoon and a trip to Loves for a 2 showers and all was good but I'd have planned differently had I known.

General: 124 50 amp sites (plus 10 primitive sites) on Lewisville Lake, about 40 minutes northwest of Dallas. This is another US Army Corps of Engineers run campground. There is a gatehouse that was staffed from 10 am– 10 pm and the gate attendant was very friendly and helpful. 

Site Quality: The sites are spaced reasonably far apart, but there is not much physical separation between them. Our site (21) had a generous amount of space to one side. Each site is paved and has the following amenities: picnic table, bbq, fire pit, and lantern hook. In some sites, the picnic table is covered. 

Bathhouse: Basic bathhouse but it was clean. There were ample showers but I did not use them so I cannot comment on the quality. 

Activities: Boating and fishing (neither of which we do; we just like camping on the water!). Nature trails but not really any hiking trails. We were there during Texas’ spring break so the campground was completely full, but we enjoyed our overnight stay before heading further south.

Lewisville TX Hickory Creek Park COE on Lewisville Lake Open year round. Just over 100 paved sites most with lakeviews. Also have primitive walk in sites by lake. May 1 to Sept 30 14 day max stay other times can extend 14 more days!Be ware that gate closes from 10pm to 6am and there is no code access! Sites are w/e and all have new 50 amp. Grills and fire rings along with covered picnic tables. Modern bathhouse with large shower stalls. Nice boat ramp and boat trailer parking. There are several nature and walking trails as well as paved roads for bike riding. I have Verizon and was able to call and text but not use internet in camp. Town is short 5 minutes away. There's restaurants, shopping and theater close by.

Nice hard sites all with 20/30/50a, cable TV, and full hookups. There are 4 washer and dryers and showers for all 124 spots. So it’s iffy getting one - no place to hang your clothing in the bathrooms and or wash area. The bugs are bad here, we had ants in our trailer and lots of bites. When it rains stay on the pavement as the mud is nasty and gumbo. The road is very loud and there are train tracks with train horns blaring all night long - make sure your bedroom faces away from the road for the best sleep. The people are very friendly and responsive - while we were there the internet and water was off a lot. Management is not on site and so lots of things were going on at night. No security or patrols. Over all I would stay again for a short stay to visit family, but $55-65 a night was pretty high considering there is zero to do here , no pool, no meeting rooms, no grass to walk on. Two dog parks and one small play ground for kids.

Wonderful family campground. Pools, splashpad, playground, maze, petting zoo, jumping pillows.

The kiddos loved it!

Absolutely loved the property! Great pool and club house. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Also loved that they are pet friendly!
