  Wind Point Park

  Best Family spot around

  Wind point park is one of my favorite parks in North texas. Inhave been going here since I was a kid. I now take my kids to this park. It still has the same family feel as always.

  Sanger - Denton North KOA

  Below Average KOA SANGER TEXAS

  BELOW AVERAGE KOA IN sanger/NORTH TEXAS I have a brand new 2020 travel trailer& I stayed at this park for 12 months. Usually the rent and Utility bill was never ready on time especially after Kevin left. Kevin was wonderful but everything went down hill in the las 6 months. The new manager kicked out all of the full timers AKA"the back row group" and kept the favorites on the other side by her camper. She didn't even adhere to the 30 day notice required on KOA SANGER TEXAS website. THE Letter was dated 9-30-20 and I didn't receive until 10-5-2020. The park apparently is dealing with sewer and septic tank problems and had too many residents according to state or local codes. I would not recommend this place except for one or two nights, but why stay here when wal mart parking is free for RV'S IN Gainesville and Denton. Very overpriced/ Glad I left!!

  North Texas Jellystone

  The six flags of all jellystones

  We are from Houston and I opt to drive 4 hours to this one in burleson. Waller is good fun but that park does not compare to this site. The website doesn’t do burleson/n Texas jellystone justice for how good it actually is. Bring bikes!

  Loyd Park

  Review about Loyd Park Camping

  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.

  Johnson Branch — Ray Roberts Lake State Park

  Beautiful lake, OK campground

  We found Lake Ray Roberts as a nice swimming spot near Dallas to go cool down during the hot Texas summers and we LOVE it to go grill and hang out as a day long activity. So when my husband and I decide to start camping 🏕 we chose this park as our first trial, and we found it a bit inconvenient for Car camping since the spots are walk up and you gotta leave your car behind in a parking lot. Also, is very primitive style, so clean bathrooms and close-by water is not really part of the package. We loved the view from our spot and if you are up for a primitive experience within a park, then this is great. Just not for us and the type of camping we wanna do 😊

  North Texas Jellystone

  A family favorite

  We love this Jellystone! We are full time travelers with young kids and they love this RV park. There are sooo many fun activities (be warned, the cost can add up). The staff is super friendly and very helpful. The adjoining water park is a blast. We prefer the older part because of the trees that offer shade in the hot Texas sun, but the red carpet sites are so much better for big rigs. We’ve stayed in both and would probably choose the red carpet sites for our 44’ rig. One thing that I love is how much they are putting into expansion, we look forward to visiting again when the construction is done. Anyhow, there are some cons, but not worth mentioning considering how much good exists at this fun park!

  Johnson Branch — Ray Roberts Lake State Park

  Expensive but almost worth it

  One of the more expensive Texas state parks. Standard electric at 25/night. Large bathrooms and lots of trash bins. Actual pay phones (who knew those still existed?) the trails are for DORBA (Dallas Off Road Bicycle Association) so maybe that explains the horrible lack of signage. Bicycle fix it station.

  Great security. I was with my 3 year old after dark, maybe 8PM at the playground on the water. No lights so I used our lamplight. I noticed a truck in the parking lot with its lights on. We were there maybe 90 minutes and the truck kept moving. When we left, they left. I spotted it down the road and saw they were camp rangers. Bodes well that they were keeping tabs on the facilities even if it was just a mom and kid.

  Very clean and moist spots are secluded. Lots of REALLY great primitive spots if that's your thing.

  Bluebonnet Ridge RV Park

  Would stay again, pretty good park

  We spent an entire month, as we typically do, in Bluebonnet Ridge RV Park in Terrell, Texas. There is a lot to really like about this campground. We would definitely stay here again.

  Pros:

  • The park was clearly being maintained

  • The basketball /tennis courts had just been resurfaced

  • Anytime someone left, or a spot was empty, new gravel was being dumped and leveled

  • Even though closed for Covid, the pool was cleaned daily.

  • There's a small dog park area.

  • Doggie bags were provided in multiple places, and ample trash cans in which to drop them.

  • Sufficient WiFi repeaters throughout the CG

  • The grass is kept mowed down, good to avoid those Texas stickers getting in your shoelaces.

  • All but one staff member was really friendly.

  • Package receiving was well handled and painless.

  • Each visitor, even short term like us, gets a mailbox. You can go in 24/7 and check it.

  • There's a "swap area" where people leave magazines, etc. (Near the mailboxes.)

  • There's a nice little pond you can fish in, catch-and-release only, no license required.

  • LOTS of room to walk the dog!

  • There's ample overflow parking and trailer storage space so you don't have to crowd your campsite.

  • Laundry facility on site, we didn't utilize it since we have a W/D in the rig.

  • Bulletin board for posting things, we bought our W/D from another person at the campsite!

  • Park was pretty quiet while we were there. No ruckus or loud people. Folks walked around, talked a bit.

  • They have Good Sam and Passport American discounts available.

  Cons:

  • You're really close to I-20, you will hear the road noise. Only trucks are loud. (We did hear a blowout, scared me to death!)
  • The WiFi, while available, is really slow. When you connect, they track usage by hardware MAC address. Use too much, you get blocked and have to ask to be allowed back on.* There are some boggy areas you have to watch for near the pond. (Don't step on the thousands of crawfish towers!)
  • The road is in fairly bad shape, leading into the park. They could really use a road company out there to fix it.
  • There are some rigs that appear more"permanent" with stairs, patio furniture, that sort of thing. But none were run-down looking.
  • When it rains, some of the driveways do get muddy.  The gravel replacement helps.

  Other:

  • There are a LOT of Tiny Houses that have been put on the property. They all looks really new, well maintained.
  • The staff appears to reserve some spots near the front for folks coming in for a day or two to a week.  It was NOT all permanents by any means.

  Meh

  This is more like being at a day park where you'd find playground equipment (except there isn't any). If you have kids and are just looking for an easy day out on the lake, this is great. If you want something a little wilder, definitely skip this area and head somewhere else.

  Boring

  I only went there because I had a family member camping there and I was going down to Canton flea market. It is a small campground. I didn't like it. There ain't many trees or camping spots. It did have a boat ramp. The bathrooms needed attention. There wasn't a daily access fee. People were not friendly.

  Great for something close by

  Nothing to knock you socks off, but it’s a great campsite close to home and nice for a quick getaway. Has the feel of being somewhat remote since it’s out by the lake.

  We’ve camped in the site with the horse stables and put the tents with questionable rain flys in the horse stable.

  Nice, local stay!

  This park is a nice local place to visit. It has full hookups and the sites are extremely distanced from one another which is great. The main thing to do here is to boat or fish, however the platforms are extremely in disrepair - literally falling into the lake (see photo of us trying to load the kids into kayak from the submerged platform).  The ones we saw were actually dangerous.  Every single site has a unique view of the lake, even those high up on the circular arrangement. Our site was very unlevel on the hill, so bring your chocks. It rained and rained while we were there, but we still had  a nice time with the grandkids. And it's close enough to Dallas to make a reasonable place to stay. There are zero amenities there - the playground mentioned in ads no longer exists.

  Tent camping is an afterthought.

  Overnighted here returning home from a longer trip. It was okay for what I was doing, but I would never choose to camp here as a destination as a tent camper.

  Activities: looking at the lake, bringing a boat to put in the lake, fishing. Seemingly nothing else to do.

  Accommodations: clearly geared towards RVers. Each of those sites have water, electricity, and a sewer connection, with a covered cement pad with a grill, a table, and other relevant features. The few tent camp sites were shoved seemingly randomly between and around the RV sites. At my particular site, the concrete pad and picnic table were cracked and seriously damaged, and few grill was rusty enough to be almost unusable. The fire pit and ground of the rest of the site were littered in bits of trash ranging from things like food wrappers, pieces of plastic hangers, and my personal favorite - a construction nail.

  The only bright light of this camp experience for me? The bathrooms. Each bathroom ( 2 per building) was a single occupant bathroom with a locking door. In the bathroom was a sink, a toilet, a hand dryer, and a shower with two nozzles at different heights (tall and short). The appliances were stainless steel, and the bathrooms were clearly excellently maintained. The bathrooms also had automatic lighting, an exhaust fan, and what appeared to be a tiny space heater for colder months. The showers had hot water, and the drains in the floor were sufficient at getting all the excess water out of there quickly.

  In summary, if you have an RV and/or a boat and love to do things on the water, this is probably a fine campground. If you are taking a tent, I'd avoid this campground.

  Beautiful Lake Views

  Wide open spaces and beautiful lake views. The sites are far apart and lots of green space. Pavement is old and a little rough, but workable. The park host is extremely nice and helpful.

  Relaxing holiday weekend

  Doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles but does have sewer, lake views, wide open spaces, and clean! Great food places nearby. Only drawbacks are I level sites and front gates don’t open til 10am every morning so can’t get back in if you go get breakfast.

  Back to humidity and the South

  Stayed 10/3/2020 Pros: Nice state park. Had electrical hookup issues about 9pm. Site host was very helpful and helped us move to another site.

  Cons: Some sites are close to one another and some have a lot of space. S Most sites are not level and front end of back in sites your wheels will be off ground.

  The Vineyards Campground & Cabins

  Best campground ever!

  I can’t say enough great things about the vineyards. We boated, kayaked, rented a golf cart and more. The gold sites are worth it! All concrete sites on the water and stone encased cooking areas. Great water pressure, sewer hookups and more. Incredible sunsets and my boys caught a 12 lb and 20 lb catfish right off the fishing dock. We will be back!

  Great park

  Very clean park, lots to offer. Right on the lake with a wonderful park for the kiddos, a pavilion, fishing, boating, a beach area to lounge and play in the water. Nice camp store, even had free donuts and coffee on the Saturday were there. And if you want to leave the park, it’s close to everything from shopping, golf, Dallas and Fort Worth. Sites are spaced out well. Just be sure to book way in advance as they stay pretty busy

  A terrific city owned campground on the lake.

  I can't speak highly enough about The Vineyards.  It's spacious, lots of nature but a great location in the city near every amenity possible.  It's very professionally run  and well maintained.

  Outstanding

  Love love love this place. We had site 38 and loved it. The sites were separated with enough space that you didnt feel on top of each other. Power was steady, water had great pressure. The only issue was the weather. We hunkered down for 2 days during and ice storm. Wow! The showers were clean and the laundry I room was spotless. A definite return stop on our list.
