Best Campgrounds near McKinney, TX

We normally don't do RV resorts, but this one is awesome. The sites are fairly spacious, especially compared to other RV resorts. Big rig friendly with many different style spots to choose from. We always choose the fence line back in sites, and they always come with plenty of grass to walk the dogs. The fence backs up to residential, but that doesn't bother us. Even the back in sites are plenty spacious for a big rig and your tow vehicle and another vehicle. The park is very roomy and easy to navigate and park.

The staff are always so nice and they make late check in a breeze, which we appreciate after a long, tiring day of towing. This RV resort is the only place we've ever stayed in that allows RV washing! For full-time RVers, that's pretty huge. They also have a mail room if you need to receive a package on the road.

The resort is split up into two areas by the road, the Retreat area is more resort like and caters to short term stays, while the other half has long term stays. They both look nice and are clean and beautiful. We will continue to visit every time we pass through the area.

I stayed at Red Bay Acres RV Resort for a week while passing through northern Alabama, and overall, it’s one of those places that delivers exactly what it promises— a calm, no-frills base with just enough personality to make it memorable. The grounds are mostly flat, which makes parking and leveling easy, especially for larger rigs. There’s a light mix of trees across the property, so while it’s not heavily wooded, you’ll find a bit of shade if you plan your site right. The resort isn’t overly packed with amenities, but that kind of works in its favor. If you’re looking for a peaceful stopover rather than a full-on campground experience with rec halls and loud music, this is your spot. It’s quiet, clean, and the community vibe is friendly without being too close for comfort. The hookups worked flawlessly, and the Wi-Fi was surprisingly decent considering how remote the area feels. Red Bay itself is small but has a certain charm, especially if you’re into RV culture. The Tiffin Motorhomes factory is just a few minutes away— a great tour if you’ve never seen how those rigs come together. The Red Bay Museum also adds a nice local touch if you want a quick dose of history without the usual touristy feel. Grocery options are limited, so plan ahead if you're staying more than a couple days. Evenings were laid-back— just enough time to sit out, unwind, and do a bit of light reading or casual browsing. I tend to rotate in and out of quiet digital distractions during downtime, and lately, I’ve found platforms like megapari surprisingly effective for short, low-pressure play sessions. Just something to tap through while the sun drops behind the trees and the campground settles in for the night. If you’re rolling through Alabama and need a well-kept, simple place to recharge— Red Bay Acres does the job. Nothing fancy, but exactly what it needs to be.
