5 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Eisenhower State Park Campground and Thousand Trails Lake Texoma provide premium glamping accommodations on the shores of Lake Texoma. These destinations feature cabin-style glamping options with modern amenities including electricity, comfortable beds, and climate control systems. "Very pretty state park with fairly private sites and standard facilities. Nice swimming area and cool little fishing areas," notes one visitor about Eisenhower. Both locations offer water and electric hookups for glamping units while maintaining a natural setting. The glamping cabins at Lake Texoma RV Campground include picnic tables, fire rings, and proximity to shoreline views, creating an upscale outdoor experience without sacrificing comfort. Walnut Creek Resort also provides luxury canvas accommodations with full amenities including sewer hookups, showers, and access to market facilities for provisions.
Lake Texoma's shoreline provides a scenic backdrop for glamping experiences with numerous water activities available directly from the accommodations. Hiking trails wind through Eisenhower State Park with routes suitable for different ability levels, allowing glampers to explore limestone cliffs and woodland areas. A camper described the experience as "nestled along the banks of Lake Texoma with very well kept facilities and clean restrooms." Fishing opportunities abound with multiple boat launch areas accessible to glampers. Seasonal considerations include higher availability during spring and fall months, with all-year access at several properties including Thousand Trails Lake Texoma. The region's proximity to Dallas (about an hour's drive) makes these glamping destinations popular weekend retreats, with many guests noting the peaceful atmosphere and excellent stargazing opportunities.

GuideThe KOA is clean and well maintained. There is lits of space for the pull throughs. Dog park is amazing, host are friendly and kind. They are very welcoming and the store is small, but clean with a little bit of everything for everyone! We will definitely be back!

LegendGot here after Labor day weekend and mostly all to ourselves.
ScoutGreat place to camp for a few nights. Boat ramp, clean showers, Lakeview, swimming, fishing, campfires. Clean, safe place to enjoy yourself.
GuideWe needed an overnight spot on our way back home to Texas, and we're so glad that we picked this park! Easy on and easy off of Highway 69, and It's located right next to the Choctaw Casino complex.
Parking for registration is located right by the office, and all the park staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. The road from the highway to the park is very easy to navigate for any size rig. The same inside the park; it's well-marked and easy to navigate. Even though it's not too far from the main road, we didn't hear any traffic noise at all.
We were assigned to pull-thru site number 41. All the sites are concrete and appear fairly level. Our site was level side to side, and a few inches off from front to rear. There are very few shade trees for the majority of the park sites. Power, Water, and Sewer were all conveniently located, and the power supply had no issues at all. We use a power management system, and all electrical parameters were spot on during our stay. Water pressure was okay, and the in-ground sewer connection was conveniently located. There is also a picnic table and a covered trash can located at each site.
Bathrooms, Showers, laundry facilities, and the pool are all located at the registration office building and are in great shape. In fact, they are the cleanest and nicest facilities that we've ever experienced at an RV park. They are on par with what you would expect at a 5-Star resort.
Wi-Fi, Satellite, OTA: there is free Wi-Fi in the park with numerous repeater towers, so each site has a fairly strong signal- we achieved 101 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up. We got AT&T 5G with 3 bars and achieved 330 Mbps down and 11.3 Mbps up. If you need clear access for satellite reception, trees will not be an issue. Also, you can pick up approximately 50 OTA stations with good HD quality reception.
Dog Park: They have a nice fenced-in park that is divided into two separate areas. They provide doggie bags and a trash can.
Amenities: Lots of items are listed on their website. They have a propane area where you can fill your existing tanks, exchange tanks, or even buy new tanks. They also have RV supplies and parts located in the office area.
Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay. They provide free shuttle service to the Casino Complex that has plenty of restaurants and a multi-screen movie theater. The park map provides a very accurate rendition of the park. See my attached photos for more details.
Bottom line- this park is owned by the Choctaw Nation and is part of the Casino Complex. So, the RV park is maintained at an exceptional level since income from the RV park is not critical. They just want their RV guests to have a first-class experience. Even if you don't gamble or dine out, take the free shuttle over to the casino complex just to see what it offers. It's truly a Vegas-like experience. This park deserves its high rating, and I do not hesitate to recommend it!
ScoutRV Camp sites are super nice and well spaced. Really cool fossil sites near the lake shore. Nice huge lake. And really good trails (for North East Texas).
GuideType of Stay: Ram Promaster 3500 Ext (22ft)
Company: Dog
$18 for a Standard Non Electric Spot
We stayed in spot A08 & I highly recommend it. Incredible view all day w/ Instant Access to Water (you gotta trot down rocks in pictures but it's easy enough)
Zero issue with bugs.
Pros: Bathroom (Toilet Paper), Showers (Weak Pressure), Quiet, Personal Fire Rings. Gas Station/ convenient store & a few restaurants right outside the grounds.
RangerLike most of our stops, we only spent one night here, but it was a really nice campground. The sites are large, and being right by the water makes the whole place feel peaceful and relaxing. A big plus was the covered picnic tables and benches at each site, which made it much more comfortable to eat outside without sitting in the direct sun. The only small downside was the bathhouse. It was nice to have your own private bathroom with both a toilet and a shower, but the shower only produced a small stream of water with fairly low pressure. Upgrading the showerheads would definitely improve the experience. It's also worth knowing that you can't access the campground after 10 PM, apparently not even with an access code. Other than those minor issues, this is a really beautiful campground and a great place to stay.
ScoutLots of activities boat/ horseback riding/hiking. We Just stopped on our way from Kansas City to Austin. Very quiet in March. Not sure about the rest of the time.
Lake Texoma straddles the Texas-Oklahoma border with over 580 miles of shoreline at an elevation of 617 feet above sea level. Multiple glamping locations near Sherman, Texas offer cabin accommodations with varying levels of amenities and proximity to water activities. The area experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F and mild winters, making seasonal planning essential for comfortable glamping stays.
Hiking trails: Ray Roberts Lake State Park provides multiple trail options with diverse terrain. "Hiking trails are challenging, they are also available to mountain bikes however the trail is challenging. You can also hike on the cliffs, which is the parks unique feature," explains Vanessa M. at Johnson Branch Campsites.
Fishing opportunities: Catfish Bay at Lake Texoma State Park offers excellent shore fishing without requiring a boat. "Sites are water and electric, no sewer sites. There are 2 dump sites on the way out," notes a camper who stayed at Lakeside Campground on the Oklahoma side of Lake Texoma.
Beach swimming: Several glamping sites feature designated swimming areas with sand beaches. "The swim area in this park is down a pretty steep gravel trail that I had a hard time navigating. There is very limited bank access since the park sits about 50 feet up from the water line," reports a visitor to Eisenhower State Park.
Quiet waterfront sites: Many campers appreciate the secluded spots directly on the water. "We stayed here in October at an RV site right on the lake. Luckily no one was in the site next to us, so we enjoyed a gentle slope down to the water," shares Richard about Lake Texoma State Park.
Shaded camping areas: Tree cover provides relief from Texas summer heat. "Most camp sites are shaded with pull through sites full hook ups, well maintained and quiet," notes Robert H. about Eisenhower State Park Campground.
Privacy between sites: The campgrounds maintain good separation between neighboring sites. "Peninsula juts out into water with lovely views of sunrise & sunset. Small campground with clean and nice but simple facilities," describes Harry H. at Preston Bend.
Seasonal considerations: Summer brings intense heat while spring offers more moderate temperatures. "In the summer it gets very hot, nice hiking," warns Alice R. about Eisenhower State Park.
Reservation requirements: Most glamping sites near Sherman require advance booking, especially during peak seasons. "Visited this private resort on 9/14/19 for a quick night away from the city. They have a handful of full hookup RV sites and cabins," explains Chris P. about Walnut Creek Resort.
Ant problems: Several campgrounds report issues with ants during warm months. "Camping out on the peninsula (site numbers upper 20's to 30's), the sites are nicely spaced, have concrete pads - which is uncommon on Lake Texoma - and beautiful views. If you camp here, though, be fully prepared to battle tons of ants," advises Holly N. about Preston Bend.
Group camping options: Some parks offer designated areas for larger family gatherings. "Our big group has gone to Eisenhower twice. The park is on Lake Texoma. We went to kayak and camp. They have good hiking trails, great campsites, and lots to do," shares Amy J.
Playground access: Certain campgrounds provide play areas to keep children entertained. "The other nice thing from our site, was that we were about 1/4 mile from a little playground for the kids. The playground wasn't anything grand, but it broke up the days for the kids some, which as all parents know is a gift," explains Chris H. from Johnson Branch.
Educational opportunities: Rangers at some parks offer learning activities. "Half of the campground is an equestrian camp. There are great hiking trails and beautiful views. Good shady spots. We had two kids with us and we loved walking around the campground and seeing all the horses!" explains Rachael H. from Platter Flats.
Hookup variations: Different sites offer varying levels of utility connections. "Section B is 50 amp. Sites are water and electric, no sewer sites. There are 2 dump sites on the way out," advises RICK V. about Lakeside Campground.
Site selection strategy: Choosing the right location makes a significant difference in comfort. "We love this place, they let us stay near two months when Covid hit cause we had no where else we could go... the spots are not far from the water and fishing areas but the fishing is good here. Spots are big with lots of trees," says Nathan W. about Thousand Trails Lake Texoma.
Accessibility considerations: Some sites present challenges for those with mobility issues. "The campground is tucked away in a woodsy area of Lake Texoma, our waterfront spot had a beautiful view & the sound of the fish jumping all around with the birds was quite serene! The one thing I didn't care for was the levelness of our spot, it was a little touch & go with my mother & her walker," notes Amy C. about Walnut Creek Resort.
