Best Campgrounds near North Richland Hills, TX

Campgrounds near North Richland Hills, Texas cluster around several lakes and reservoirs within a 30-mile radius. The Vineyards Campground & Cabins at Grapevine Lake and Cedar Hill State Park Campground provide developed camping options with varying amenities. Most established campgrounds in the region accommodate both tent and RV camping, with several locations like Loyd Park and Twin Coves Park also offering cabin rentals for those seeking more comfort. Treetops RV Resort and Dallas/Arlington KOA Holiday provide additional options for travelers looking for full hookup sites closer to urban amenities.

Road conditions throughout the area remain accessible year-round with most campgrounds featuring paved access roads suitable for all vehicles. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F between June and September, making spring and fall the most comfortable camping seasons. "The location of this campground feels secluded from the city but close to the highway so you can be in the city within a few minutes drive," noted one visitor about Hickory Creek Park on Lake Lewisville. Reservations are strongly recommended at most developed campgrounds, particularly for weekend stays and during holiday periods. Many campgrounds in the region enforce quiet hours and have specific regulations regarding alcohol consumption, pets, and campfires.

Lakefront camping represents a significant draw for the region, with multiple campgrounds offering water access for swimming, fishing, and boating. Campers frequently mention the contrast between feeling immersed in nature while remaining close to urban conveniences. "Even though it's in a highly populated area, it feels very remote when you get into the park," shared one reviewer about Hickory Creek. Aircraft noise from nearby Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is noted in several campground reviews, particularly at locations on the eastern side of Lake Lewisville. For those seeking more seclusion, the Lyndon B. Johnson National Grasslands north of the metropolitan area offers dispersed camping opportunities with fewer amenities but greater privacy. Most developed campgrounds provide electrical hookups, water access, and restroom facilities, though amenities vary significantly between locations.

    Cedar Hill State Park Campground

    Not too impressed

    We arrived after hours after calling and instructed to just go to our campsite. The park had absolutely no signs indicating where the campground is. We were surprised to find a very sloping site with the cement bumpers missing rebar and very unsafe. No after hours phone number and no campground host. Is this any way to run a campground? We flagged down another camper who indicated that three sites were available when he checked in a couple of hours earlier. This is the first time that we encountered something like this in our years of camping. No one here to answer questions….sites in terrible disrepair still being represented as safe. We had to replace in the hopes that someone would not arrive to claim their site. In the morning we experienced pounding on our door to be challenged by armed…yes, they had guns, officers questioning why we were “squatting” Needless to say this campground is very disorganized and needs an after hours emergency phone number, campground host, safety inspections, as well as a manager who cares.

    Holiday Park Campground

    Small, fairly convenient, and very quiet CG

    We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 73 for 1 night in mid September. The CG is clean, well maintained. The CG roads are paved, but narrow and a little winding in places. The sites themselves all seemed mostly level. The CG was very quiet and peaceful. There were only 2 or 3 other campers in the CG while we were there. Our site, 73, was a pull-through, as were several, but some were back in. The registration card says to watch for branches if your RV is over 12’ tall, but there were several branches much lower than that leaving site 73. We were able to navigate to avoid most of them, but one was unavailable, so be advised. There were lots of deer that wandered through our part of the CG. 

    AT&T coverage was pretty good with 2 bars of LTE service and speeds up to 17 MB/s. We had a clear view to the N at the site, so Starlink was fine with speeds up to 20 MB/s.

    The Vineyards

    A must stay!!!

    In a very nice campground with spacious FHU sites that are concrete pads and level. Great views of the lake. A well equipped campground store with lots of items. Clean large bathrooms and showers as well as a laundry room. Have events throughout the week for social activities for adults and kids. Great hosts and a very well kept campground. Definitely a place to stay overnight or a week.

    Lake Park Campground

    Quiet and Peaceful

    Check in was simple. Kasey and Shane are wonderful. Convenient to the lake. Easy access to stores and I 35. There is a parking lot for your boat or jet skis within the campground. The sites for 30 amp and smaller campers are closer to the water. 50 amp and larger campers are in the shade. I am not certain of fees for park entry. Website says that day use area is included in the amenities, but had to pay the entry fee yesterday.

    Patriot RV Park

    Comfortable stay

    Stayed 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.

    Hunter Park

    I had a great time here

    Hunter Park in Texas is truly a great destination for those who love camping. I had the opportunity to experience and feel the fresh air and peace here. Although the terrain is relatively flat and the trees are sparse, the closeness to nature made me feel relaxed. The weather can change quite dramatically, so I recommend being well prepared. A big plus is its proximity to Dinosaur Valley State Park and Lake Granbury, where you can enjoy activities like hiking and boating. Hunter Park is truly the perfect place for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of life!

    Hunter Park

    Peaceful

    It’s a pretty awesome place to camp and it’s really quiet. There are restrooms but no water or electricity but they are really good at maintaining the restrooms (stocked with toilet paper and keeping it clean) they are particular about you only staying 10 days so just be mindful of that.
