Driving range access: Thousand Trails Lake Tawakoni offers a unique amenity for golf enthusiasts with a 250-yard driving range. As one camper observed, "This place is really huge and spread out. Oh, also a driving range in the center."
Local dining exploration: Several RV parks position campers near local restaurants. At Stinson RV Park, campers mention the connected restaurant: "The Tin Cup is a restaurant that's owned by the park and the food is great," though they caution about Saturday night music that "was still playing after 10:30 pm."
What campers like
Spacious sites: Hidden Grove RV Resort earns praise for generous spacing between campsites. One camper noted, "The RV spaces are further apart than your average RV Park," while another appreciated that "the spots are all paved with a nice sectioned off patio spot."
Pond views: Several parks feature water features that enhance the camping experience. At Shady Lake RV Park, the layout centers around a water feature. "The park has a pond that is the center of the entire campground. The park has two dog parks available as well for those traveling with pets."

What you should know
Variable facility conditions: Bathroom, shower, and laundry facilities differ significantly between parks. One camper at Shady Lake RV Park reported, "When they say they have showers plural, restrooms plural, and laundry room, in reality they have one restroom which was filthy, one shower that was so dirty you could not stand in it."
Highway noise considerations: Some parks sit close to major roads, creating potential noise issues. A visitor to 1770 RV Park noted the tradeoff: "easy pull through, easy reservation, clean park, new clean laundry, level sites, wifi, good water, but very close to I-30."
Limited privacy at some locations: Sites at certain parks offer minimal separation. At Shady Lake, one camper noted, "4 overnight sites are long enough but only 5-7 feet apart. FHU No picnic table, not very clean, small bathroom and showers."
Tips for camping with families

Tips from RVers
