        Consider it a staycation–when you visit Meadowmere Park, you’ll have a whopping 288 acres to explore of sparkling water, sandy beaches, and green grassy expanses. You can rent kayaks, and standup paddleboards from DFW Surf for floating out onto the sparkling water of the lake.

        Meadowmere Park is home to the largest floating aqua park obstacle course in Texas, WhoaZone. Located on Grapevine Lake, the enormous floating playground is the best way to cool off this Summer. Bring your family and friends to slip, slide, and have tons of fun. Get tickets here.

        If you’ve come to eat your lunch, you’ll find the fire pits and grills perfect for whatever you’re cooking up. A designated beach just for swimming is just right for relaxing in the cool of the lake. When you’re bringing the whole family, a playground, and shaded picnic tables. Campers can choose to stay overnight on a beautiful lakeside primitive campsite complete with picnic tables and fire rings, and you’re free to bring your pets along too.

          Lewisville Lake, Texas

          Overview

          Westlake features four group shelters on Lewisville Lake, where visitors can spend a day picnicking or boating on the almost 30,000-acre reservoir, just outside the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

          The lake rests above an archeological site where prehistoric remains have been found. It is believed these early humans inhabited the area as far back as 12,000 B.C., making this one of the oldest human-inhabited sites in the Southwest United States and Mexico.

          Natural Features:

          The day-use area sits on the western banks of Lewisville Lake. The lake stems from the Elm Fork of the Trinity River in northern Texas and generally has low visibility, but plenty of surface acres for boating and fishing.

          Recreation:

          The lake hosts a number of fishing tournaments each year, drawing anglers from all over to try for trophy-sized bass.

          Warm water temperatures offer ideal conditions for water sports including boating and jet skiing.

          Facilities:

          Each of the open-sided pavilions come with a large grill and water, and are all within walking distance to a restroom.

          Blackjack Oak is lakeside with large shade trees. This pavilion seats 50-75 people and has electric hookups.

          Bur Oak seats 100-150 people and has its own parking lot.

          Cottonwood is close to the shoreline, has electric hookups and seats 100-150 people.

          Green Ash sits in a large, open field and offers electric hookups. It seats 75-100 people.

          Nearby Attractions:

          Horseback riding and golfing can be found nearby. The active city of Dallas is about 40 minutes away.

          K76 Lakefront

          Awesome long term spot. Has a concrete RV pad that you can park your camper on or park beside it and use the very long pad as your patio, which is what we did. Management very responsive to needs and any questions you may have. This spot is on a very quiet area with minimal boat traffic. We had one camper behind us and they were super quiet. Super nice. Laundry at the office for reasonable price to use the washers and dryers.

          Canton I-20 RV Park is fantastic! The spacious, well-maintained sites made setup easy, and the full hookups were a plus. We loved the pool and the friendly staff made us feel right at home. Perfect spot for a comfortable and convenient stay—highly recommend!

          Canopy of trees and right on the lake

          This is a great, non-- parking lot style campground. Every site is covered with trees, and though they are a bit close together you feel connected with nature. Two restaurants within walking distance. Shaved ice within walking distance. Kayaks available. There’s a nice designated swimming area in the lake, and a fishing pier. The hosts are very accommodating.

          Close to Nature

          I wish I could rate this campground higher because it was so peaceful with quite a bit of bushy vegetation to provide a small measure of privacy between sites. This is as close to nature as one can get in a campground!  There was poison ivy on the trees next to us and in the mowed ground around the campsite.  There were so many butterflies, flies, and other flying insects on the sunny side of our RV that it made entering and exiting through the sliding door very difficult. And, the ANTS! After one night in our site, the ants had formed an active trail to the top of our RV. Consequently, we had ants inside the RV!

          The roads inside the campground need to be repaved.

          The camp host and the park ranger were both very friendly and informative.

          East Fork Park Campground

          Functional with good views

          Pros: Great views of the water and wildflowers in the meadows. Reasonable price. Everything works and the shaded picnic tables are a plus. 5G plus signal on ATT for anything you might need online. Downsides: It looks like there could be a lot of water pooled on and behind our site with a heavy rain. The pad has definitely broken up over time and isn't level. The fire pit is also sitting at an angle. We noticed two groups of campers with 4-6 extra cars having gatherings last night, so that might have been distracting if we were right next to them.

          Dodge City RV Park

          Good spot for camping

          Been there last year during out trip to Texas( mainly hiking in Britton park and a few other local trail spots and camped at Dodge City RV park)

          Pros: good clean spots for camping, everything you might need is pretty close
          Didn't try RV spots, but those looked really nice too.

          Cons: Didn't find any.

          If you gonna be visiting TX during June-July for trailing and camping - my advice is: make sure to get a pair of comfy shoes(my go-to are Brooks men's running shoes like those https://rununited.com/mens-footwear/) - trails are pretty rough and it's extremely hot and humid near bodies of water... Gotta dry your shoes every few hours

          Cedar Ridge Mobile Home & RV Park

          Solid option if you're near Dallas

          Stayed there during our trip to Texas, after visiting Big Bend. Overall, pretty good spot for RVing.

          Couldn't find any photos, probably is on the camera I've left at my folks house during the trip.

          Pros: easy to find, quick booking, good view.

          Cons: can't remember any.

          Also a semi-pro is that it's located pretty close to a bunch of outdoor sports stores( https://gritroutdoors.com/ is the one we've visited most I think) so if you forgot something on your trip - it's pretty easy to pick up.

          Pretty sunset right on the water

          We got a primitive campsite right on the water and we’re able to fish a little bit once we arrived. We got there after 5 but there is a kiosk where you can check in and grab a map to find your site easily. The park is pretty big and there was a nice fire pit and picnic table we could use. It was still really hot during the time of year we went, but other than that it was nice.
