Best Campgrounds near Savannah, TX
Camping near Savannah, Texas centers around Lake Lewisville and several developed campgrounds within a 30-minute drive. The Hidden Cove Park & Marina offers tent, RV, and cabin accommodations with lakefront access, while Shady Creek RV Park provides 207 full-hookup sites for larger rigs. Most campgrounds in this region feature electric hookups, drinking water, and reservable sites, with options ranging from primitive tent camping to luxury RV resorts with full amenities.
Road access throughout the camping areas remains well-maintained due to the predominantly developed nature of campgrounds in this suburban region. Summers bring hot temperatures often exceeding 90°F, making waterfront sites particularly desirable during June through September. Most campgrounds require advance reservations, especially for weekend stays and holiday periods when facilities reach capacity quickly. Cell service varies by provider, with some areas reporting limited connectivity. A visitor commented about Hidden Cove Park: "No cell service here. It's a good camp ground. However for T-Mobile service is not good enough for work or streaming."
The lakefront camping experience dominates visitor reviews, with multiple campgrounds offering direct water access for swimming, fishing, and boating. Campers frequently mention the convenience of staying near urban amenities while still enjoying outdoor recreation. As one review noted, "We go here when we want to stay close to home. We've stayed in the tent area and the RV area. Both are always clean and the staff is always friendly." Several campgrounds feature boat ramps, swimming areas, and marina facilities. Noise levels vary significantly between weekdays and weekends, with some visitors reporting late-night activity, particularly during summer months. For those seeking quieter experiences, the Ray Roberts Lake State Park campsites provide more natural surroundings approximately 15 miles north of Savannah.

Beautiful setting along Lake Lewisville. Camped lakeside with a beach.

GuideEast Fork Park Campground
East Fork state park
The Good, level, spacious campsites with an awning over the picnic table. Great lay out for campsites. The Lake Lavon was beautiful. The not so good, the restrooms were old and not well kept up. They were not heated which probably doesn't matter most of the time in Texas but when we were there it was 20 degrees. Secondly there is dog poop everywhere, it seems that every time I stepped off of the pavement I had to clean dog crap out of my shoes.

Nothing too special
I did a backpacking trip here a few years back and don’t remember anything too special about the campsite although the water level for the lake was something like 20 ft lower than normal so my friends and I were able to walk out on the lake bed where it would’ve normally been underwater

Great spot with lake view
45-50 mins from downtown Dallas. Quiet in January. Stayed two nights, space 45. Level

Wonderful Family Camping!
This was the first time our family has camped two consecutive nights. My two boys 4/5 had a blast at the site, walking the trails, and finding spots to throw rocks into the lake. We were surprised at how quiet the campsites were, especially with how many people were staying in the park. P1 was great, right next to parking and the street, which was also the only minor drawback. If staying primitive, P3 is the way to go. We will definitely be back!

RV sites are spacious
The RV sites have a full backyard in them with fire pit and easy access to hook up. The road in front feels kind of busy though, from the satellite view it looks pretty quaint but in reality it's kind of busy.

What to do
Mountain biking trails: Erwin Park offers approximately 9 miles of maintained trails for mountain biking enthusiasts. "Great easy spot for day camping or easy car camping with family. Good fire pits and great pavilion at the group site if you can get it. Best mountain bike single tracks around with lots of built features," notes Brian in his review of Erwin Park.
Kayaking and paddleboarding: Many campgrounds near Savannah provide water recreation options on Lake Lewisville. "We boated, kayaked, rented a golf cart and more. The gold sites are worth it!

Hiking through wooded areas: Johnson Branch at Ray Roberts Lake State Park offers several interconnected trails. "Enjoyed a night here. Site was right on the water. Level and clean.

What campers like
Spacious, private sites: Many campers appreciate the thoughtful layout of sites at Hickory Creek. "A lot of space between sites, well level and paved, family oriented, very quite, beautiful lake and tree sites, lighted power supply post with all the amps available. Fire pits, bbq, picnic tables and some with gazebo," notes Reynolds O. in his review of Hickory Creek - Lewisville Lake.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: The natural setting at Ray Roberts Lake State Park provides frequent wildlife encounters. "A very nice state park, about an hour northwest of Dallas.

A gem of a getaway!" shares Tony C. about Isle du Bois Campsites.
Clean facilities: Campgrounds in the Savannah area generally maintain good standards of cleanliness. "The laundry room is nice, I really like the app that lets you pay so you don't need coins but also tells you how much time you have remaining or if there are machines available.

What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds fill quickly, especially during peak seasons. "I've been coming to this state park for over 20 years.
