    Great Place

    This is a newer RV “resort” that is still growing. The pool isn’t open yet but will be very nice when it is. There is a pavilion for large gatherings, a camp store, and laundry on site. The roads and pads are all concrete with full hookups. The park is well maintained, aesthetically pleasing, and everyone is very nice. Give this place a try if you’re nearby.

    Better send carrier pigeon....

    Tried calling several times(during business hours) and wrote several times, never got back to me. Finally just drove there(through the rain), calling again about 5 minutes away. They finally answered only to be told they were full. Asked about other days and they said they weren't sure but to call the morning of. I said you know, I've called and wrote and left several messages- would've been nice to get a call back, as now I'm basically here. She said sorry and laughed. Seriously?! No online booking at all and incompetent management- who would call the morning of to see if you drive X amount of miles to stay? And I'm the idiot that drove there after not hearing back, ugh.

    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.

    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.

What campers like:

  • Clean Facilities: Campers appreciate well-maintained restrooms and showers. A visitor at Hickory Creek - Lewisville Lake said, "Restroom facilities are clean. My one complaint is there's a playground on their map but no actual playground that we could find."
  • Spacious Sites: Many campgrounds offer roomy sites that provide a sense of privacy. A reviewer at Cedar Hill State Park Campground mentioned, "Our site had plenty of room to the next site, had a covered picnic table, fire ring, and lantern hanger."
  • Friendly Staff: Campers often highlight the helpfulness of campground staff. One camper at Isle du Bois - Ray Roberts Lake State Park noted, "The park staff were very friendly and helpful."

What you should know:

  • Limited Cell Service: Many campgrounds have spotty cell service. A camper at Hidden Cove Park & Marina mentioned, "For T-Mobile, service is not good enough for work or streaming."
  • Entrance Fees: Some parks charge daily entrance fees. For example, at Lake Tawakoni State Park Campground, visitors noted, "You do have to pay a daily $7/person entrance fee."
  • Weather Considerations: Be prepared for changing weather conditions. A visitor at Johnson Branch - Ray Roberts Lake State Park mentioned, "It can be a bit of a trek carrying all your gear to your site but that’s the only downfall I think."

Tips for camping with families:

Tips from RVers:

  • Check Site Amenities: Make sure your site has the necessary hookups. A visitor at Purtis Creek State Park Campground mentioned, "The RV site pads are narrow and not very level."
  • Bring Extra Cords: Some RV sites may have electrical boxes positioned far from your rig. A camper at Hickory Creek - Lewisville Lake noted, "Most modern RV's electrical connection is in the back."
  • Use a Portable Waste Cart: If your site doesn’t have a sewer hookup, a portable waste cart can make things easier. A reviewer at Lake Tawakoni State Park Campground mentioned, "The dump station can get a little busy around checkout time."

Camping near Rockwall, Texas, has something for everyone, whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or an adventure-filled getaway.
