Best RV Parks & Resorts near Sulphur Springs, TX

Several RV parks near Sulphur Springs offer full hookup sites with varying amenities. Shady Lake RV Park provides water, sewer, and electric connections including 50-amp service for larger motorhomes. The park features pull-through sites arranged around a central pond, though spaces between RVs are notably limited. "Only basic, very tight sites, pretty rough. 4 overnight sites are long enough but only 5-7 feet apart," noted one visitor about the spacing at Shady Lake. Stinson RV Park offers all pull-through sites with full hookups and is conveniently located directly off Interstate 30, making it accessible for big rigs needing overnight accommodations. Hidden Grove RV Resort in Honey Grove accommodates large motorhomes with its big-rig friendly sites and complete hookup options, while Hopkins RV Park maintains 50 sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical connections.

RV travelers should note seasonal considerations when planning visits to the area. During popular fishing seasons at nearby Lake Fork and Lake Tawakoni, RV parks may reach capacity quickly. Most campgrounds in the region remain open year-round, though extreme weather can occasionally impact services. One camper reported significant challenges during an unusual winter storm: "All park water lines froze, rolling blackouts by the state, no propane available anywhere!" Cell service varies throughout the region, with rural locations experiencing intermittent coverage. Dump stations are available at several parks, including Governor Jim Hogg RV Park where non-guests can access the facility for a $5 fee. Pet-friendly policies are common across most RV parks, though specific restrictions may apply depending on the facility.

    The Bluffs RV Park

    Quick stay in a cute campground!

    We came in town for a fishing tournament and stayed at this small campground with a lot of cute amenities! Close to boat ramp, 5 min walk to the lake, full hookups, good water pressure, fire pits, gavel sites, concrete pads for wooden picnic tables, small grills, dog run, horseshoes, laundry hut and free firewood! Right off the highway and good phone reception.

    Lake Tawakoni State Park Campground

    Nice state park

    We don't stay at too many TX State Parks because of the added day use fee. We decided on this park due to its proximity to family in this area. The site was level and on a concrete pad with a parking spot right next to it. We did have a neighbor, so the space between us was fair. Our cell signal with Verizon was poor, so it made work difficult. Our site had W/E and there is a dump station. We did have a picnic table and fire ring. There are some sites that back up to a part of the lake. Noise level was pretty low. Unfortunately, we only spent 1 full day here, so we didn't really get to enjoy any of the hiking trails or do any fishing. We will definitely have to stay again in the future.

    Patriot RV Park

    Great Location and Price

    This place is close to anywhere you need to go. The price is the best in the area and they give free high speed internet. They have a nice laundry room and mailboxes on site. They offer short or long term living. Check them out!

    Ramblin Fever RV Park

    Close to Restaurants and Shopping

    I stayed for 4 nights from a Thursday through Monday. The owner is very nice and helped me with choosing a drive thru site. It is well maintained. Mix of long term and short stay resident s. It is near a busy arterial highway so it's not especially quiet. The hookups worked great. I was two spots from the very front of the park. I used Passport America pass for my first 3 nights. I felt safe. It is very pet friendly. Keep dogs on leash and clean up after them. I have 3 black labs. No fenced dog park yet, so I drove them to the city park with tennis courts every morning to run free. I will most likely stay here again. I mostly boondock in the forests, but when I need a place to resupply and take care of business needs, this place is very nice.

    Governor Jim Hogg RV Park

    RV camping

    The camping area is mostly occupied by long term RV campers. Many of the campers are employed in the nearby areas. Grounds offer water/electric/sewer hookups, there are also toilets available but no showers. The RV grounds are part of the city park which offers a splash pad (seasonal), large playground, pavilion, picnic areas, arboretum, and a short hiking trail (approximately one third of a mile). The RV sites are backed up by the sheriff's office/county jail the courthouse is down the road, and there is a police department across the street. This isn't to suggest that the area is dangerous, its a small town and everything is pretty much right there. Shopping and restaurants are within walking distance.

    Lake Fork, a popular fishing lake is within a ten minute drive. Lake Quitman is less than ten minutes, generally this is where water sport activities occur. Pets are welcome.

    Shady Lake RV Park

    Overnight Stop

    This park is close to highway and great for overnight stay. The park has pull through full site hookups. 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.

    Two things I loved:

    1. Close to highway quick stay
    2. The pond nice view with ducklings

    One thing I didn’t love: Really close to others for extended stays.

    The Waters

    Small monthly RV park

    This used to be under another name, but is under new management. The park is now under construction, with a laundry building coming soon. 30 spots.

    • Wifi is okay. Cel phone reception can be problematic without booster.

    • This park is mostly fifth wheels and travel trailers. While our almost 40’ Class A fit on the pad, if we had anything larger than our Jeep Wrangler as a tow would not have fit in our spot. Really meant for 30’ if you have a pickup truck to tow.

    • Nice catch and release pond.

What to do

Hiking trails: Big Al's Barefoot Bay offers nature trails near their marina with lake access points. "There is a great hiking trail by the marina!" notes a camper who enjoyed the piney woods setting.

Fishing opportunities: Lake Tawakoni and Lake Fork provide excellent fishing year-round.

This campground has several loops that follows the little branches of the lake."

Water recreation: Multiple lakes offer swimming and boating options from May through September. At Big Al's Barefoot Bay, "Sandy spots to swim from at various entry points. Friendly people and several kids that run around playing, making friends. Great place for kayaking."

Golfing: Some RV parks feature recreational facilities. At Thousand Trails Lake Tawakoni, visitors appreciate the "driving range in the center" of the property, offering a break from water activities.

What campers like

Spacious sites: Hidden Grove RV Resort in Honey Grove stands out for site spacing. "The RV spaces are further apart than your average RV Park. What really sets this place apart is the Managers, They go out of their way to treat you like you are welcome," mentions one reviewer.

Pet amenities: Some parks cater specifically to travelers with animals. As one visitor to Shady Lake RV Park noted, "The park has two dog parks available as well for those traveling with pets."

On-site dining: Stinson RV Park offers convenient food options. "The Tin Cup is a restaurant that's owned by the park and the food is great," writes a camper, though they caution about Saturday night noise levels continuing past 10:30 pm.

Seasonal events: Entertainment options vary throughout the year. Big Al's Barefoot Bay hosts regular activities: "They have Karaoke across the street every Friday and live music every Saturday. Sites that back right up to great water views and access to fishing."

What you should know

One camper at Thousand Trails Lake Tawakoni experienced "Biggest ice and snow storm in 70yrs temperatures down to -2 degrees below freezing for several days several inches of snow. All park water lines froze, rolling blackouts by the state."

Variable facilities: Bathroom and shower quality differs widely between rv sites near Sulphur Springs, Texas. At Big Al's Barefoot Bay, "Campsite has bathrooms/showers/laundry facilities, however they could use some work. Only downfalls in my opinion is being so close to the road and the WiFi is spotty."

Site leveling: Many campgrounds feature uneven terrain. One camper at Big Al's Barefoot Bay gave "Only 4 stars because the bathrooms are dated and sites aren't concrete," while another noted about Lake Bob Sandlin that "Sites are not very level."

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."

Wildlife viewing: Many campgrounds offer opportunities for wildlife observation. Multiple reviewers mention waterfowl at park ponds, with one Stinson RV Park visitor noting, "We were visited by a duck from the nearby pond!"

Site privacy: Many rv sites near Sulphur Springs feature limited separation between campers. At Hidden Grove, "There's no tree coverage really so the spots are pretty open but they have a fair amount of spacing in between each spot for some privacy."
