Wind Point Park welcomes pets at all camping areas, including tent sites, RV spaces, cabins, and glamping accommodations. The park features full hookup sites, modern showers, and picnic tables where visitors can relax with their four-legged companions. Lake Tawakoni State Park Campground also permits pets throughout their grounds, with multiple trails suitable for dog walking. The parks maintain trash collection services to keep pet waste properly disposed. Visitors note that Wind Point Park is an excellent location for families with pets, with scenic lake views and wildlife observation opportunities that dogs and their owners can enjoy together.
Located directly on Lake Tawakoni, these campgrounds provide water access where dogs can cool off during warmer months. Both parks maintain pet-friendly policies year-round, though summer temperatures require extra consideration for pets' comfort and hydration needs. Thousand Trails Lake Tawakoni offers additional pet-friendly accommodations including cabins where dogs are permitted. The campground has regularly spaced bathroom facilities and laundry services convenient for longer stays with pets. Nearby wildlife includes numerous deer that frequently roam through camping areas, so keeping dogs leashed is essential for safety. Most sites require pets to remain on leash at all times, and campers should bring supplies for cleaning up after their animals to maintain the natural environment.

Check Availability"Wind point park is one of my favorite parks in North texas. Inhave been going here since I was a kid. I now take my kids to this park. It still has the same family feel as always."
"We were a bit close to our neighbors so if you’re looking for a site where you’re isolated, this is not the place for you. We were on the lake so enjoyed spectacular sunsets every night."
"That could be why no one is there to tent camp because there are no bathrooms nearby. But it’s an area you can retreat to for quiet solitude."
"Pool play ground, game room and a 250 yard driving range! The place could us some TLC, but I would still recommend going there! Great place if you have a boat or kayak!"
from $55 / night
Check Availability"Tavern right next door—didn’t have time to check it out but it’s a short walk. Twinkle lights added charm to entryway to park, and we were visited by a duck from the nearby pond!"
"There are a number of activities available: boating, fishing (fishing pond and Lake Fork - the lake had been drained for dam repair), birding (saw my first scissor-tailed flycatcher), hunting, biking,"
"Really nice area to walk the dogs!"
"A nice pond to walk around."
"You can pet them and feed them by hand. Tall trees and gorgeous campsites. Donkeys hee-hawing, birds singing, and fire flies glowing. Scattered ponds throughout this 100 acre plot."
"Beautiful location, sunsets, horses and donkeys makes Sleep Under the Pecan Trees a place we go to camp multiple times a year for three years now."
from $45 - $50 / night

GuideThis park is close to highway and great for overnight stay. The park has pull through full site hookups. The park has a pond that is the center of the entire campground. The park has two dog parks available as well for those traveling with pets.
Two things I loved:
One thing I didn’t love: Really close to others for extended stays.
RangerStayed for two months for my husband's work. Park manager, Becky, was helpful and nice. They have a saltwater pool, dog park, laundry room, shower/bathrooms, trees/landscaping and access to a boat ramp. Some sites are a bit tight. We were in the top part of the campground and had no issues with it being real wet. Have heard that the lower area does have pooling of water with heavy rain. It does go away quickly, but should be aware of this if you have lots of outside things or a pet. Would stay here again.
LegendAbout 45minutes north of Dallas which makes easy entry and exit. Very clean amenities, spacious sites, better than average dog park, good amount of grass and walking trails around. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Even had a small fitness room that will work in a pinch.
ScoutCame here because I am going to the Tech Acabemy down the road in Athens. I love the amenities here (pool, Pavillion, gas grilles, dog park and wash, pond, pickleball, other games walking trail, etc.). There are some really friendly people here. You should check it out.
ScoutWARNING: 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.
ScoutStayed here 5 nights waiting for our property to be ready. Called into the office like we have every morning and was told"sorry you have to leave we reserved your spot." ON MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!!!! Who does this??? No notice, didn't say anything all week. But sure took our money! Poop all over the grass. The dog park is nasty! They give you all the rules, very strick. LOUD, the highway is right here. Unprofessional!!!!! Never again!!!!!
GuideWe spent an entire month, as we typically do, in Bluebonnet Ridge RV Park in Terrell, Texas. There is a lot to really like about this campground. We would definitely stay here again.
Pros:
The park was clearly being maintained
The basketball /tennis courts had just been resurfaced
Anytime someone left, or a spot was empty, new gravel was being dumped and leveled
Even though closed for Covid, the pool was cleaned daily.
There's a small dog park area.
Doggie bags were provided in multiple places, and ample trash cans in which to drop them.
Sufficient WiFi repeaters throughout the CG
The grass is kept mowed down, good to avoid those Texas stickers getting in your shoelaces.
All but one staff member was really friendly.
Package receiving was well handled and painless.
Each visitor, even short term like us, gets a mailbox. You can go in 24/7 and check it.
There's a "swap area" where people leave magazines, etc. (Near the mailboxes.)
There's a nice little pond you can fish in, catch-and-release only, no license required.
LOTS of room to walk the dog!
There's ample overflow parking and trailer storage space so you don't have to crowd your campsite.
Laundry facility on site, we didn't utilize it since we have a W/D in the rig.
Bulletin board for posting things, we bought our W/D from another person at the campsite!
Park was pretty quiet while we were there. No ruckus or loud people. Folks walked around, talked a bit.
They have Good Sam and Passport American discounts available.
Cons:
Other:
TravelerWas going to reserve. However, they do not allow pets!
LegendThe camping area is mostly occupied by long term RV campers. Many of the campers are employed in the nearby areas. Grounds offer water/electric/sewer hookups, there are also toilets available but no showers. The RV grounds are part of the city park which offers a splash pad (seasonal), large playground, pavilion, picnic areas, arboretum, and a short hiking trail (approximately one third of a mile). The RV sites are backed up by the sheriff's office/county jail the courthouse is down the road, and there is a police department across the street. This isn't to suggest that the area is dangerous, its a small town and everything is pretty much right there. Shopping and restaurants are within walking distance.
Lake Fork, a popular fishing lake is within a ten minute drive. Lake Quitman is less than ten minutes, generally this is where water sport activities occur. Pets are welcome.
Lake Tawakoni defines the camping landscape near Lone Oak, Texas, with its 376 miles of shoreline at 423 feet above sea level. The region experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 95°F in July and August, making early spring and fall the most comfortable camping seasons. Winter camping requires preparation for occasional freezing temperatures and precipitation.
Fishing opportunities: Lake Tawakoni is renowned for its catfish, with specimens reaching up to 70 pounds. Lake Tawakoni State Park Campground offers multiple fishing spots. "This lake is well known for its Catfish Fisheries all around the lake which in turn causes the lake to produce very large Catfish. Upwards of 70lbs," notes Brandon W.
Wildlife viewing: The area hosts abundant wildlife, particularly birds and deer. "Last time I was here it was fall and the leaves had changed and birds were everywhere," reports Charyle C. about Lake Tawakoni State Park. Multiple campgrounds maintain natural habitats where wildlife observation is common.
Seasonal events: Winter camping features special activities at some parks. At North Shore Landing, campers can enjoy seasonal activities year-round. Lake Tawakoni State Park occasionally hosts seasonal events, as one camper mentioned: "The park was having an event of Christmas lights. There were several campers who participated."
Spacious sites: Many campgrounds offer well-spaced sites with concrete pads. "Sites are spacious, and for the most part, have concrete slabs that are pretty level and can accommodate any size rig," says Gari-Ann L. about Lake Tawakoni State Park.
Trail systems: Hiking and biking opportunities abound near Lone Oak. "This state park has both walking and biking trails galore. None of the trails were too hard for a seven and nine year old but were long enough that they were fun and a good workout," notes B H. about Lake Tawakoni State Park.
Proximity to Dallas: Sleep Under The Pecan Trees offers a natural escape that's still accessible to urban amenities. "You will be about 12 minutes away from the nearest Walmart, in case you forget some camping supplies," mentions Aaron W., highlighting the convenient location of many Lone Oak area campgrounds.
Ant problems: Some campers report issues with ants at certain times of year. Robert P. warns about Lake Tawakoni: "Come prepared to battle the ants. We were overcome in our trailer with thousands of ants the first night, which has never happened before."
Weather considerations: The region experiences extreme temperature variations. Winter can bring unusual conditions, as one camper at Thousand Trails Lake Tawakoni discovered: "Biggest ice and snow storm in 70yrs temperatures down to -2 degrees below freezing for several days several inches of snow. All park water lines froze."
Site conditions: Not all sites are created equal. Some campgrounds have uneven or difficult terrain. "Sites were gravel, not super level, but far from terrible," notes Christopher J. about East Texas RV Park, reflecting common conditions at several area campgrounds.
Safety considerations: Most dog friendly campgrounds near Lone Oak require pets to remain leashed due to wildlife interactions. "Children were enjoying the pool, my furbabies enjoyed the large grassy areas around the small fishing lake," reports Kim P. about Dallas-Northeast Campground.
Bathroom facilities: Family-friendly bathroom setups vary widely between campgrounds. Lake Tawakoni State Park offers particularly family-friendly facilities: "Bonus in the loop bathroom they have individual rooms that have toilet and shower with a high lock. Really awesome if you are using shower with toddlers," shares Amie M.
Wildlife encounters: Interactive wildlife experiences can create memorable family moments. "Wild, yet docile horses will approach you. You can pet them and feed them by hand," explains Aaron W. about Sleep Under The Pecan Trees, a unique opportunity for children to interact safely with animals.
Hookup availability: RVers should note the variability in hookup types between campgrounds. "Easy to access, even for larger rigs. We stayed in 39 foot 5th wheel. Plenty of pull thru spots, full hookups, regularly spaced bathroom/showers," reports Steve R. about Thousand Trails Lake Tawakoni.
Laundry access: Laundry facilities can be limited or unavailable at some parks. "There was suppose to be a laundry, no laundry!" cautions J.R. C. about Thousand Trails Lake Tawakoni, highlighting the importance of confirming amenities before arrival.
Site spacing: Site proximity varies between parks and can affect privacy. Stinson RV Park offers pull-through sites but has other considerations: "The Tin Cup is a restaurant that's owned by the park and the food is great. The downside is that there's live music on Saturdays. It's loud enough to be annoying but not loud enough to enjoy."
