      5. Westlake Day Use

      1 Review
      3 Saves

      Overview

      Westlake features four group shelters on Lewisville Lake, where visitors can spend a day picnicking or boating on the almost 30,000-acre reservoir, just outside the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

      The lake rests above an archeological site where prehistoric remains have been found. It is believed these early humans inhabited the area as far back as 12,000 B.C., making this one of the oldest human-inhabited sites in the Southwest United States and Mexico.

      Natural Features:

      The day-use area sits on the western banks of Lewisville Lake. The lake stems from the Elm Fork of the Trinity River in northern Texas and generally has low visibility, but plenty of surface acres for boating and fishing.

      Recreation:

      The lake hosts a number of fishing tournaments each year, drawing anglers from all over to try for trophy-sized bass.

      Warm water temperatures offer ideal conditions for water sports including boating and jet skiing.

      Facilities:

      Each of the open-sided pavilions come with a large grill and water, and are all within walking distance to a restroom.

      Blackjack Oak is lakeside with large shade trees. This pavilion seats 50-75 people and has electric hookups.

      Bur Oak seats 100-150 people and has its own parking lot.

      Cottonwood is close to the shoreline, has electric hookups and seats 100-150 people.

      Green Ash sits in a large, open field and offers electric hookups. It seats 75-100 people.

      Nearby Attractions:

      Horseback riding and golfing can be found nearby. The active city of Dallas is about 40 minutes away.

          Nice and clean

          Nice easy place to stay the night. Bathrooms and showers are super clean. Not the most scenic of places but quiet and fairly easy to access - highway construction was underway in June 2024.

          East Fork Park Campground

          Functional with good views

          Pros: Great views of the water and wildflowers in the meadows. Reasonable price. Everything works and the shaded picnic tables are a plus. 5G plus signal on ATT for anything you might need online. Downsides: It looks like there could be a lot of water pooled on and behind our site with a heavy rain. The pad has definitely broken up over time and isn't level. The fire pit is also sitting at an angle. We noticed two groups of campers with 4-6 extra cars having gatherings last night, so that might have been distracting if we were right next to them.

          XCIP TV player application

          It seemed like there was a bustling weekend before, as the trash was overflowing, attracting hundreds of noisy, bold, and assertive crows xciptv apk. Despite my food items being securely locked inside my closed car, these crows favored my location the most. The scene reminded me of the intense atmosphere from Hitchcock's movie,"The Birds."

          Dodge City RV Park

          Good spot for camping

          Been there last year during out trip to Texas( mainly hiking in Britton park and a few other local trail spots and camped at Dodge City RV park)

          Pros: good clean spots for camping, everything you might need is pretty close
          Didn't try RV spots, but those looked really nice too.

          Cons: Didn't find any.

          If you gonna be visiting TX during June-July for trailing and camping - my advice is: make sure to get a pair of comfy shoes(my go-to are Brooks men's running shoes like those https://rununited.com/mens-footwear/) - trails are pretty rough and it's extremely hot and humid near bodies of water... Gotta dry your shoes every few hours

          Skyview Ranch RV Park & Driving Range

          Overall really good

          Visited Skyview in September 2023 - overall it's a solid RV park with some really nice views. We've only stayed for 2 days, but it's been really good and we've had great time.

          It's located pretty close to DFW so everything you would need is close-by(we've visited Big Bend one our first day and Gritr's gun range( https://range.gritrsports.com/ ) on second since we wanted to check out the city itself.

          Cedar Ridge Mobile Home & RV Park

          Solid option if you're near Dallas

          Stayed there during our trip to Texas, after visiting Big Bend. Overall, pretty good spot for RVing.

          Couldn't find any photos, probably is on the camera I've left at my folks house during the trip.

          Pros: easy to find, quick booking, good view.

          Cons: can't remember any.

          Also a semi-pro is that it's located pretty close to a bunch of outdoor sports stores( https://gritroutdoors.com/ is the one we've visited most I think) so if you forgot something on your trip - it's pretty easy to pick up.

          Very big park.

          A very big old park. Getting an overhaul. Was here in January but would love to see park in season. Many different types of sites. Has a fish pond, wonderful beach and day sites.

          Cedar Hill State Park

          Pretty sunset right on the water

          We got a primitive campsite right on the water and we’re able to fish a little bit once we arrived. We got there after 5 but there is a kiosk where you can check in and grab a map to find your site easily. The park is pretty big and there was a nice fire pit and picnic table we could use. It was still really hot during the time of year we went, but other than that it was nice.

          Nice State Park

          Nice state Park. We stayed here 3 nights. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Although the park has been around awhile it is maintained well. Our site had plenty of room to the next site, had a covered picnic table, fire ring, and lantern hanger. Water pressure was 50 psi, sewer hookup was close, but electrical box was in the front and most modern RV's electrical connection in the back (30 foot cable just reached). The park is close (2.5 miles) to Cedar Hill where you can find shopping, dining, fuel, etc. Would stay here again.

          Spacious sites with lots of shade.

          I stayed overnight here while traveling from Galveston, Tx to Ohio. The employees were friendly and accommodating. Check in was easy and the campsites offered some privacy as they were spaced pretty far apart. Lots of shade trees and very peaceful. I would definitely stay here again.
