Experience the adventures of a nature get-a-way without venturing far from the metroplex. On the west shore of Joe Pool Lake, Loyd Park covers about 791 acres of native Texas landscape. Loyd Park is in a peaceful tree-filled setting right on the lake but is centrally located - camping is conveniently close to major DFW attractions. Individual campsites are large (avg 1000 sq ft.), and each one has a picnic table and pavilion, grill, fire ring, and more Texas tranquility than you can handle!

Located just outside of Trenton on 15 acres of sloping terrain with a wide creek and additional acreage beyond the Big Oak for exploring.
Beautiful sunsets, a clear view of the night sky, a calming creek and an occasional visiting deer make for a relaxing stay.
The property is in transition as we are in the process of creating manicured groves and open pasture areas for the enjoyment of our farm animals and guests so expect mud when it rains and an occasional heavy equipment or tractor siting.
We have lived here for over 20 years, our residence is across the road from the camping property so we are available if needed. We run a small heard of Brahmas (the cows with the humps and long ears) and raise goats. Our property is managed organically and when the garden is producing will be happy to share the bounty with our guests.
There is no water, electric or wi-fi on property at this time. All lighting is solar or battery powered. Every camper will be supplied clean drinking water and a Port-o-let is onsite near the tent area.
$75 - $125 / night

I was just passing through on a road trip and needing a cheap place to spend the night, but this was the kind of park I’d actually come back to and hang out in. The camp sites are spread out and clean. The lake views are beautiful. There are tons of activities like hiking, fishing, or paddle boarding.
RangerI booked here for the FHU sites, but was not overly impressed. The Bois loop pull throughs, although paved, were severely sloped and hard to level. The hiking trails were not that great either. Convenient off 75.
Guide
A decent spot to stop. The roads within the park itself could use some serious attention. When you first drive into the park, to the left they are in the process of building an entire new section and it looks nice. I wish they would do some upkeep on the rest of the park as well. It’s first come, first served. The first spot I chose had a bad pedestal, so I had to pick up and choose another spot. I would definitely recommend checking the pedestal before unpacking. There were a ton of spots closed off because of the bad pedestals. There’s a nice walk to Lake Texoma which was nice. Not a lot to do around otherwise. Only 4 washers and 4 dryers for the entire park. Verizon service was good, along with T-Mobile. Even better with my cell booster. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Loyd Park is a wonderful destination for anyone looking to escape the city and enjoy the natural beauty of Texas. I highly recommend a visit to Loyd Park for anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing camping experience. You should go there territorial io. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the location is unbeatable.
ScoutI have camped here many times. The park is well maintained and offers beautiful hiking trails and scenery. It is also safe with plenty of staff making rounds to ensure everyone's safety. I have stayed at their pull through camper sites, shelters, as well as tent camping with no complaints. The park is also undergoing construction upgrades and new paved roads ATM but the areas are clearly identified on their website. Definitely a family friendly park with plenty of wildlife to enjoy!

Wow, Stinson RV Park sounds like a great place to relax and enjoy nature. I wonder if they have any amenities like a swimming pool or a playground for kids. Has anyone tried the nearby monkey mart for supplies?

Stayed 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!!!!!
LegendJake from the Dyrt here! The Park at Brushy Creek is an awesome spot to enjoy sunsets and explore the surrounding land. Make sure to check out their cows and goats! Leave a review of your stay on the Dyrt and don't forget to share your favorite pictures of your trip!
GuideSo this is an ok place to spend a night or two. With Passport America, the price is right. 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. It was still playing after 10:30 pm. Not good when you need to get up early in the morning.

This is a nice shady spot with a lot of space for a few tents or an rv. Space has electric and a nice lake view. You do have to walk down the hill and through some sand to get to the beach.
GuideWe loved our time here! Quiet park with activities and a lake. We had a pull through site with plenty of space for our 44’ 5th wheel, truck and extra vehicle. Would definitely stay again
Guide
Nice large concrete spaces with plenty of room for a 44’ 5th wheel, tow vehicle and extra vehicle. Office staff was really friendly and helpful. Nice playground for kids and dog park. The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is the feeling that we were parked in an RV storage lot rather than a campground. It feels commercialized and may be a fine stop if passing through, but not a place I would go to actually camp.
ScoutThis is actually our second stay at this campground and I cannot say enough great things about it. Well kept, thoughtful hosts, a cute little campstore, an amazing playground for our kids, a beach, golf cart rentals, cabins, and you can easily pull in a giant RV. I highly recommend this campground.

Ashley here with The Dyrt, I'd like to welcome your host April to our platform. "Tipi sites feature potable water, composting toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings all within easy walking distance." Book your stay today and come back here to leave them some love.

We we’re staying in a cabin with a plumbing issue. We were able to move to another cabin and Kevin and Chris were really helpful.
GuideWe had such a great time while camping here. The sites were a good size and had lots of shade. We had an amazing view of the lake! We stayed at site 13 on loop B and we were located close to the bath house, which was very convenient. We did not have access to the lake at our site. Our pad was pretty level, not a concrete pad though. The campsites seemed close to each other. Unfortunately I was not able to find a campground map. The beaches were clean and had legit beach sand, which was very nice! This was a great stay, I recommend!
ScoutNice swimming area for the two young kids. Water hookups right next to campsite. Lots of ants at the campground meant a trip to the store for more bug killer. Woken up one morning by park worker mowing near our tent which sprayed our bags with clippings. Not many shade spots so beware if it is hot. Decent stay overall.
RangerLoved our stay here in the tent section. Trees provided much needed shade, yet enough for solar to stay charged. Restrooms were close, showers were a little bit of a walk. Each tent site has a table and fire pit. Lovely views of lake Texoma. Great hiking and rock climbing opportunities. The marina store is a short walk away and you can rent kayaks and canoes!
Ranger
Stayed in the tent section for $10/night during spring break. Easy reservation process on Recreation.gov. Water and trash were close by. Pit toilets were a bit of a walk. Showers and flush toilets were in the section with hook ups. Mainly RV’s there, some tents, vans, etc. Amazing views of Lake Texoma!!
TravelerFull hook ups available. Some have no sewer hook ups. Most are 30 amp, many are 50 amp. Sites range from full sun to full shade. Quite a few annuals. Might have given 5 stars but both pools are shut down and it's HOT! Lake is accessible- about half a mile down a private road. Interior roads are a bit rough. Mini golf, shuffle board, horse shoes and playgrounds are available.
GuideOverall the lake and wooded areas are good for a day’s enjoyment however the facility is not maintained. The bath houses are completely neglected. The light in the ladies BH is flickering so badly it was disorientIng, one shower did not work at all, toilets have no “seat”, and it is overrun with bugs (more than the normal campground). The gate entrance attendant is rude and unhelpful. No sewer hook ups at site so “community” dumping is necessary. The community dump is run down too with broken equipment and bent connections. Finally, for the camp charges $10/car/day. We have a drivable RV and rented a car so not only did we pay for the site but then paid more to have our car. Not going to stay here again.
GuideOverall the lake and wooded areas are good for a day’s enjoyment however the facility is not maintained. Also the entire park is huge so things are not within walking distance so if you don’t have wheels you’ll have to unhook for hike a good long distance to amenities. The bath houses in Loop E are completely neglected. The light in the ladies BH is flickering so badly it was disorientIng, one shower did not work at all, toilets have no “seat”, and it is overrun with bugs (more than the normal campground). The gate entrance attendant is rude and unhelpful. No sewer hook ups at site (E loop) so “community” dumping is necessary.

We have a drivable RV and rented a car so not only did we pay for the site but then paid more to have our car. Not going to stay here again. After dealing with E loop for a couple days we requested to move to A loop. A loop was much better but we were charged $20/day for the “upgrade”. A loop bath house was definitely better but still unimpressive. Office staff was friendlier and helpful (not gate employee).
GuideNot a huge fan of camping in state park campgrounds, but this is a very nice option. Had a group campout here with those new to camping. Having easy access to bathhouses and power made it easier to have more people show up. Eisenhower has great hiking options and sells firewood on site
GuideIf you are looking for something with a guaranteed site over the weekend, but still have a “dispersed” experience, this is a solid option. Site 47 is my favorite, with extra space to spread out and the furthest away from the noise.
The wind can be a bit much in a RTT, but overall it’s not terrible.
