Lewisville Lake, located 23 miles northwest of Dallas, covers 29,000 acres with 233 miles of shoreline. The area maintains mild winters with average temperatures of 45-60°F and hot summers often exceeding 95°F. RV campgrounds at Lewisville Lake typically stay open year-round, with most facilities seeing highest occupancy from April through October when water activities are most popular.
What to do
Fishing year-round: Lake Park Campground provides excellent fishing access with opportunities for catching bass, catfish, and crappie. "Great experience so far. The laundry room is nice, I really like the app that lets you pay so you don't need coins but also tells you how much time you have remaining," notes a visitor at Shady Creek RV Park.
Shopping convenience: Many campsites are within 5-15 minutes of retail options. "You're right next to Frisco, Prosper, Little Elm, Savannah, and Denton," explains a camper at Shady Creek RV Park, making it easy to stock up on supplies or grab a meal off-site.
Local attractions: Nearby cities offer entertainment options beyond the lake. "Convenient location. Pool, laundry, WiFi, rec room, playground. Shaded RV spots," reports a visitor to Destiny Dallas RV Resort, which provides proximity to Denton's attractions.
What campers like
Spacious layouts: Most RV parks feature generously sized sites. "The RV sites are fairly spacious at Northlake Village RV Park. We stayed three days over the Thanksgiving holiday in 2021. We had a family gathering to go to in Keller, Texas and this RV park was convenient," shares one camper.
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept amenities. "Spotless communal areas include the bathrooms, kitchen, and wash house. A small swimming pool looks to be fun in the warmer months," notes a visitor at Wagon Master RV Park and Alpaca Farm.
Pet accommodations: Most Lewisville Lake campgrounds welcome pets with dedicated spaces. "We stayed here 5 months on a work trip. Nice sites most are fenced in with big yards... Nice big dog park with a pond, also a grooming and dog wash area," shares a camper at Waggin Tail Ranch RV Park.
What you should know
Reservation patterns: For weekend stays, book 3-4 weeks ahead during summer, 1-2 weeks in shoulder seasons. "We evacuated from Ida to this park. Secluded quiet place near Roanoke and Grapevine," notes a visitor at Northlake Village RV Park, highlighting how local campgrounds can fill quickly during emergencies.
Water pressure issues: Some campgrounds have very strong water pressure. At Shady Creek RV Park, a visitor observed: "The pads are gravel and almost level. A few guests have been here a while, did see several arrivals and departures. Pet friendly."
Seasonal considerations: Summer temperatures often exceed 95°F, making shade important. "Just one persons opinion, but this place is one of our favorite in the Metroplex. We have stayed here off and on over the last 3 years... plus lots and lots of trees," reports a camper at Treetops RV Resort.
Tips for camping with families
Pool facilities: Several RV parks offer swimming options for kids. "Loved the property! Great pool and club house. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Also loved that they are pet friendly," writes a visitor about Wagon Master RV Park.
Playground availability: For families with children, look for sites with play areas. "We really enjoyed this park. It's very clean and quiet. The trees are beautiful and add great shade. My boys jumped in the pool even though it was 55* outside and said it was a fun experience," shares a family at Treetops RV Resort.
Security considerations: Most RV parks around Lewisville Lake have on-site managers. "The park was well maintained and had lots of amenities. Quite the community feel. Our spot was 171 and was very well shaded. The staff was nice, friendly and helped us back in as we are still newbies," notes a Treetops RV Resort visitor.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling: Many campsites require minimal adjustment. "Our site required minimal east to west leveling. Full hook ups all worked at our site, but some utilities can be long runs depending on type of RV(especially sewer)," reports a visitor to Lake Point RV Resort.
Internet connectivity: Wi-Fi quality varies between parks. "WiFi worked for my family of 5 the majority of the time for simple things. Hubby works remotely and went to Panera for stronger/faster service," notes a camper at Treetops RV Resort.
Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some campgrounds. "Highway traffic noise is pretty significant here, especially if parked at the front of the park," advises a Lake Point RV Resort visitor, suggesting requesting interior sites when possible.
