    Wind Point Park

    Um...

    I've been coming to this park since I was 12 or 13 years old and we would tent camp. The only things to do is fish and go swimming and the play ground is kind of sad. I came camping in 2009 when I got back from Iraq and it was very well maintained then either, just leaves piled up so high mosquitos and various other pests loved it. We brought our camper out this weekend after reading reviews and hearing about how updated it is and how great it is but it's still the same park it's always been. There was literally a camper across from us being stabilized with cinder blocks... we have a three year old and took him to the park to burn some energy and were quite disappointed (as well as our son). The equipment was the same equipment from when I was a kid and there's really not much more than swings, a slide, merry go round, and a see-saw type thing. We paid over $90 for three nights and ended up leaving a day before because there was just nothing to do. There was also someone walking around our camper the first night and I'm still not sure who it was 😲. We had a tree in the worst part of our site, we couldn't let our awning out hardly. If we moved up a little bit we couldn't use out outdoor kitchen, if we a lot we'd be lucky to use our connections. We ended up in one of the only spots that didn't have some kind of asphalt and it had been raining for two days, that was a load of fun also because the mud was thick and there were two mini lakes around us. The campsites at the state park we're further away then here and I would have preferred some distance to our "neighbors". The gentleman who led us to our site was polite at least and they did spray for ants around our camper. However, I doubt we'll go back unless they make some better changes.

    Loved the tent sites

    We found this place when our other reservation got messed up, but boy am I glad we did! The tent sites have water and electric at each site. Sites feel secluded and spread out and our was covered by trees so the shade was great!

    There was a little litter around the campsite but my son and I tired to clean up as mush as we could before we left.

    There was a covered picnic table, fire pit, and grill, and lots of nails on the picnic covering table (although they are up really high, so if you’re short it’s hard to get to them).

    We plan on going back and taking advantage of the hiking trails and swimming spot!

    Wind Point Park

    Good Camping in a Controlled Environment

    If you’re looking for somewhere off the grid that is truly primitive, then this is not the place for you. If you don’t mind other people nearby, then you may enjoy your time here. Great docks for fishing. Beautiful water views, if you camp next to the water. Tent camping sites with electrical hookups are piled next to each other pretty close, so if you’re getting a tent electrical site you had better not mind getting friendly with your neighbors. Also, when it rains some of the tent electrical camp sites fill with water. However, if this happens the front office is more than willing to work with you and give you a refund or switch your site. There is a lot of wildlife roaming around - lots of deer! The primitive camp sites by the docks that overlook the water are beautiful. There is a concrete slab, picnic table, and fire pit at each primitive site. If you want to throw up a hammock, some of the primitive sites have trees that are the perfect distance apart for that - but be aware some of these trees are covered in poison ivy! The primitive sites are all close by to other types of campers, so it is never quiet and you can hear people at all hours of the day/night for the most part. Where we stayed by the water, we were next to an RV site. The other primitive camping sites also seem to be near RV sites and electrical tent sites, according to the map. If you camp near the water, it is very windy, especially at night, so make sure to bring plenty of blankets! Are you ever really on your own here: no. Are there beautiful views: yes. Is it truly primitive: no. Will you be taken care of: yes. All sites are open, with no big trees or shrubs to give privacy. You can see your neighbors and they can see you, even at the primitive sites. It would be a good place to bring a family or children for sure. I will say, the customer service at the main office is outstanding. They have anything you could think of for sale there, which is a huge plus. It is highly likely that you won’t need to drive into town for anything. Workers drive around with trash bags every day to ensure everyone is disposing of trash properly, and will give you free trash bags if you don’t have any, which is nice. All in all it depends on what you’re looking for, whether you choose to come to this camping location or not. We enjoy going here just to get away from the house and enjoy the beauty of the lake/nature for a bit. Although, I do wish there was more privacy. Everything is too close together, in my opinion.

    COE Lavon Lake Lavonia

    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.

    Loyd Park

    Loop A vs E

    Overall the lake and wooded areas are good for a day’s enjoyment however the facility is not maintained. Also the entire park is huge so things are not within walking distance so if you don’t have wheels you’ll have to unhook for hike a good long distance to amenities. The bath houses in Loop E are completely neglected. The light in the ladies BH is flickering so badly it was disorientIng, one shower did not work at all, toilets have no “seat”, and it is overrun with bugs (more than the normal campground). The gate entrance attendant is rude and unhelpful. No sewer hook ups at site (E loop) so “community” dumping is necessary. The community dump is run down too with broken equipment and bent connections. Finally, for the camp charges $10/car/day. We have a drivable RV and rented a car so not only did we pay for the site but then paid more to have our car. Not going to stay here again. After dealing with E loop for a couple days we requested to move to A loop. A loop was much better but we were charged $20/day for the “upgrade”. A loop bath house was definitely better but still unimpressive. Office staff was friendlier and helpful (not gate employee).

    Large park-awesome sites!

    Our first time here and really enjoyed it. The park at lakeside had recently flooded but we were not there to go to the water and our site was not effected at all. The sites are large and all come with a covered picnic table, a fire pit, a bbq grill and hook ups except sewer where we were but we didn’t need it. They have a dump station also. Great price!

    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.

    Mill Creek Ranch RV & Cottage Resort

    Nice place and people.

Guide to Rockwall

Glamping options near Rockwall, Texas provide year-round accessibility with distinct seasonal considerations. Located in the Blackland Prairie ecological region at approximately 550 feet elevation, these accommodations maintain comfortable temperatures even during Texas's hot summers through climate-controlled units. Water levels at nearby lakes fluctuate seasonally, affecting shoreline access for waterfront glamping units that typically range from 200-400 square feet in size.

What to do

Fishing at prime spots: Multiple fishing platforms at Wind Point Park provide lake access, though some require maintenance attention. "Many big trees! But roads are terrible, spaces are unlevel, with no uniform length!" notes a visitor who appreciated the natural setting despite infrastructure challenges.

Playground activities for kids: Family-friendly outdoor play areas range from basic to extensive. "We have really enjoyed our stay here. The campground in late November is about 2/3 full with plenty of space between sites... It has all the qualities of a COE with proximity to water, trails, bathroom and laundry facilities with the additional bonus of two separate pool areas and indoor facilities for events, games, TV, or community activities," explains a visitor to Thousand Trails Lake Tawakoni.

Boating access: Direct lake access for boat launching varies by location. "Lots of large back in spots with 50/30 amp plugs, water hook ups, fire pit and picnic table. Many spots have direct access to the lake to launch a kayak or SUP, boat launch in the day use area," states a reviewer of Pilot Knoll Park.

What campers like

Spacious layouts: Sites at many locations offer privacy and room to spread out. "This park was very clean with four bathroom/shower rooms and laundry room as well. We visited in November and it was quiet with a nice view of the water. The park also has a gate with a code needed to enter," notes a visitor to Northside RV Resort.

Lake views: Waterfront locations provide scenic vistas from many sites. "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," shares a camper at Lavon Lake Lavonia.

Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and shower facilities receive consistent praise. "The bathrooms are so clean. The park itself is gated and secure. Each shower has its own toilet and vanity behind a lockable door," explains a camper at Northside RV Resort who stayed during November.

What you should know

Off-season advantages: Winter and fall months offer quieter experiences with fewer crowds. "We have really enjoyed our stay here. The campground in late November is about 2/3 full with plenty of space between sites," notes a Lake Tawakoni visitor who appreciated the seasonal timing.

Weather considerations: Prepare for seasonal Texas temperature variations that can affect comfort. "When it rains, some of the driveways do get muddy. The gravel replacement helps," mentions a reviewer at Bluebonnet Ridge RV Park.

Site leveling challenges: Bring leveling equipment as many sites require adjustment. "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," shares a reviewer at Wind Point Park.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly amenities: Choose locations with designated play areas for different age groups. "Check-in was very easy, sites were very clean and well maintained, playground was amazing with an awesome 'roller-coaster' swing that the teenagers even loved. Immediate access to the lake and a beautiful view!" reports a visitor to The Vineyards Campground & Cabins.

Safety features: Secure parks with good lighting increase family comfort. "This park is run by the City Grand Prairie, which provides a lot of safety. Campsites are a little close together nearest the water but probably the best sites in the Park," notes a camper at Loyd Park.

Educational opportunities: Look for parks with nature trails and wildlife viewing. "Lots of room to walk the dog! There's a nice little pond you can fish in, catch-and-release only, no license required," mentions a reviewer describing opportunities at Bluebonnet Ridge.

Tips from RVers

Hookup options: Full-service sites vary widely between locations. "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," notes a tent camper at Lavon Lake reviewing RV accommodations.

Leveling considerations: Prepare for site variations that affect larger rigs. "It is a new park and very well laid out. The sites are large and easy to pull in and out. They don't have any extras like clubhouses so you can tell they don't cater to snowbirds," shares a visitor to Northside RV Resort.

Seasonal booking requirements: Reservations for popular parks should be made 2-3 months in advance for peak times. "This is very popular RV Resort near Terrell, Tx. Do your reservation early or you may not get in! This is convenient to the Dallas/Ft Worth areas," advises a reviewer of Mill Creek Ranch Resort.
