Golfing nearby: Winstar RV Park sits adjacent to golf facilities with manicured grounds. "It's right next to the golf course so Bermuda grass is perfectly capped and lush," writes one reviewer who appreciates the landscaping.
Water activities: Several campgrounds offer boat access to Lake Texoma. "They're walking distance to Lake Texoma, where you can enjoy plenty of outdoor activities, including fishing, boating, swimming, and hiking," according to information about Do Drop Inn RV Resort.

Level parking: Thousand Trails Lake Texoma receives praise for its site configuration. "We had a pull through site with plenty of space for our 44' 5th wheel, truck and extra vehicle," notes one camper who appreciated the spaciousness.
Security features: Many campsites offer gated access for added safety. "Safe atmosphere with gated access. Highly recommend," mentions a visitor to Riverview RV and Recreational Park, highlighting the secure environment.

Convenience amenities: On-site facilities enhance comfort for many guests. "The laundry facilities were clean. (There are two separate buildings in the two 'wings' of the park)," explains a visitor about using the facilities at Winstar RV Park.
What you should know
Electrical reliability: Cedar Mills Marina & RV Resort offers reliable power options. "The site is short and narrow and kitty-corner to the sites to each side but it was gravel pad, level and had FHU with 30/50 amp," explains one camper who stayed for two weeks.
Water quality variations: Water systems differ between properties. "The only negative, for me, at least, was that this is SOFT water. I have never been a fan of soft water," notes a visitor about Winstar RV Park who chose bottled water for drinking.
Internet connectivity: Cell service varies significantly by provider and location. "Verizon 4G service was 2-4 bars," reports a Cedar Mills Marina visitor, while another notes, "The campground Wifi is very good, better than most any other place I've visited" at Winstar RV Park.
Site selection systems: First-come, first-served models can present challenges. "This location is 'first come/first serve' sites so for a beginner that can be a bit challenging," mentions a camper about Thousand Trails Lake Texoma who recommends checking electrical pedestals before setting up.
Tips for camping with families
Playground facilities: Star Trails RV Park includes recreation areas for children. "Nice little pool, walking trails and fishing pond. This is a good little place to visit," notes a reviewer who found the compact property enjoyable.
Accommodation size flexibility: Family groups require adequate space planning. "We had site 9, which is the same site we had when we were there last year. The site is short and narrow and kitty-corner to the sites to each side," explains a Cedar Mills Marina visitor describing their specific site configuration.
Recreation variety: Multiple activities keep different age groups engaged. "There is a nice sidewalk that runs around most of the park, with doggie bag/trash stations along the way," explains a visitor about the walking paths at Winstar RV Park.
Distance considerations: Lake access varies significantly between properties. "One big issue with this park is the distance to the actual lake itself. You will need a cart or be ready for a hike to the beach area," advises a visitor about accessibility at Thousand Trails Lake Texoma.
Tips from RVers
Pedestal inspection: Lake Texoma RV Resort, LLC and similar campgrounds require electrical evaluation before setup. "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," advises an experienced RVer.
Seasonal planning: Temperature variations affect comfort throughout the year. "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," notes a June visitor to Thousand Trails Lake Texoma.
Site dimensions: Vehicle configurations determine optimal placement options. "Sites are large and level," reports a Riverview RV visitor, while another camper notes Winstar offers "large, pull-through sites" with "two grills, two power poles, two water hookups, two picnic tables."
Storage management: Limited facilities affect longer stays. "We would most definitely stay there again. I didn't want to leave, it was only their refusal to give us a monthly rate," explains an RVer who found extended-stay options limited at some properties.
