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.

    The Vineyards

    A must stay!!!

    In a very nice campground with spacious FHU sites that are concrete pads and level. Great views of the lake. A well equipped campground store with lots of items. Clean large bathrooms and showers as well as a laundry room. Have events throughout the week for social activities for adults and kids. Great hosts and a very well kept campground. Definitely a place to stay overnight or a week.

    Lake Park Campground

    Quiet and Peaceful

    Check in was simple. Kasey and Shane are wonderful. Convenient to the lake. Easy access to stores and I 35. There is a parking lot for your boat or jet skis within the campground. The sites for 30 amp and smaller campers are closer to the water. 50 amp and larger campers are in the shade. I am not certain of fees for park entry. Website says that day use area is included in the amenities, but had to pay the entry fee yesterday.

    Patriot RV Park

    Comfortable stay

    Stayed for two months for my husband's work. Park manager, Becky, was helpful and nice. They have a saltwater pool, dog park, laundry room, shower/bathrooms, trees/landscaping and access to a boat ramp. Some sites are a bit tight. We were in the top part of the campground and had no issues with it being real wet. Have heard that the lower area does have pooling of water with heavy rain. It does go away quickly, but should be aware of this if you have lots of outside things or a pet. Would stay here again.

    Lyndon B. Johnson National Grassland Dispersed Camping

    Worked Well for Overnight

    Was transiting between central Texas toward Colorado in an off-grid TT and didn’t want to venture far off 287 for a comfortable, quiet & safe place to stay for the night. Taking the Trinity exit north off the loop around Decatur and using the navigation to the LBJ Grasslands to Park Rd 904 access was easy (& scenic). Once inside you could tell there’d been recent rain but the wet areas were easily avoided. Sites are spacious and we soon found a pretty great vista view from which the spectacular sunset was just a great bonus. Will make a note to use this stop en route out of the central part of the state going west for future trips.

    Pilot Knoll Park Campground

    Lake Front Camping close to Dallas

    Lots of large back in spots with 50/30 amp plugs, water hook ups, fire pit and picnic table. Many spots are have direct access to the lake to launch a kayak or SUP, boat launch in the day use area. Clean, online reservations takes a little bit of navigating, I had to sign up for an account. Lloyd of tall trees provide shade. Paid $30 per night for mid week in June.

    A very small park with a small lake, but it is well shaded well maintained. It is undergoing upgrades at this time.

    The Retreat at Shady Creek

    Awesome RV resort in town

    We normally don't do RV resorts, but this one is awesome. The sites are fairly spacious, especially compared to other RV resorts. Big rig friendly with many different style spots to choose from. We always choose the fence line back in sites, and they always come with plenty of grass to walk the dogs. The fence backs up to residential, but that doesn't bother us. Even the back in sites are plenty spacious for a big rig and your tow vehicle and another vehicle. The park is very roomy and easy to navigate and park.

    The staff are always so nice and they make late check in a breeze, which we appreciate after a long, tiring day of towing. This RV resort is the only place we've ever stayed in that allows RV washing! For full-time RVers, that's pretty huge. They also have a mail room if you need to receive a package on the road.

    The resort is split up into two areas by the road, the Retreat area is more resort like and caters to short term stays, while the other half has long term stays. They both look nice and are clean and beautiful. We will continue to visit every time we pass through the area.

    Lake Life Rv Resort

    Clean, only seven spots with the swimming pool

    Great spot conveniently located walking distance is from Eagle Eagle Mountian Lake. Across the street from a convenience store with food kitchen.

    It only has seven spots so it's very quiet and well kept. Enjoy the swimming pool on a hot day.

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!
