Very fun RV camping
RV 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).

Sugar Hill RV Resort
Little Piece of Heaven
I've been RVing for a lot of years, and I can honestly say Sugar Hill RV Resort is one of the nicest places my wife and I have stayed. One of my favorite things about this park is the landscaping. The grounds are beautiful, with flowering trees, flowers, bushes and grasses around the patios and walking paths that make it feel more like a retreat than an RV park. Every morning I'd grab my coffee and take a stroll just to enjoy it. We also had a great time exploring Anna. Having the Red Rooster Barn right next door was a real treat. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio for dinner more than once, and if you like barbecue, don't leave town without trying Hutchins BBQ. I don't hand out compliments easily, but that barbecue was flat-out outstanding. Kyla up front is an absolute sweetheart. She always greeted us with a smile, remembered our names, and somehow found time to visit whenever we stopped by. The owners are just as friendly. It was nice being able to sit and visit with them from time to time—you can tell they truly care about the folks staying here. The whole place is quiet, clean, and very well maintained. It's the kind of park where people wave as they drive by, neighbors visit, and you feel comfortable from the day you arrive. We've already told several of our RV friends about Sugar Hill, and I have a feeling we'll be making our way back before too long.

Sugar Hill RV Resort
Hidden Gem
My husband and I stayed at Sugar Hill RV Resort for a few months this summer so we could spend more time with our kids and grandbabies. We wanted a place that was quiet, clean, and felt safe, and Sugar Hill turned out to be just that. From the minute we pulled in, everyone made us feel right at home. The owners and staff are some of the sweetest folks you'll meet. They always had a smile on their face and were happy to help with anything we needed. I loved getting up early and walking the trails before it got too hot, and most evenings we'd end up soaking in the hot tub after a long day chasing grandkids around. Everything is so well kept—the pool, laundry room, showers, and grounds are all spotless. You can tell people really take pride in this place. One thing I really appreciated was how peaceful it is. It's close enough to everything we needed, but when you're back at the resort, you can actually relax and enjoy yourself. We met several other long-term guests, visited over coffee, and made some sweet new friends along the way.

Joshua M.GuideIsle du Bois Campsites — Ray Roberts Lake State Park
Perfect for the Family!
Our family had a fantastic 2 night stay. We’ve only stayed at Johnson Branch on Ray Roberts in the past, and have loved Isle Du Bois. Our site is surrounded about beautiful lush trees and overgrowth. The beach is right up the path and my two boys (4&6) loved playing in the water with the kids. Our site is also two sites from the playground and bathroom/showers, which was super convenient! Will definitely be back and eyeing a site right off the water for some fishing!

They have the best cookies!
We've had a wonderful experience at Sugar Hill RV Resort. The park is gorgeous, quiet, and always well-maintained, but what really makes it special is the staff. Kyla goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome, she gave us cookies and is always quick to help with anything that comes up. It's rare to find a place that feels this friendly and genuinely cares about its guests. We highly recommend Sugar Hill to anyone looking for a great place to stay.

After filling out the required paperwork, Jeffery the manger stopped responding. Would not recommend going through the hassle with this place!
Guide to Sanger
Camping opportunities near Sanger, Texas extend beyond developed facilities to include primitive sites with lake access. Located in the Cross Timbers region at approximately 640 feet elevation, the area experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 95°F and mild winters. Campgrounds within 20 miles of Sanger offer varying degrees of seclusion, from waterfront locations to more wooded settings with diverse wildlife.
What to do
Fishing from shoreline sites: Ray Roberts Lake State Park's Isle du Bois section provides excellent bank fishing opportunities directly from campsites. "Sites 119-122 (maybe 123) are right on the lake so you can see ducks and do some bank fishing without needing to go anywhere," notes Christopher L. about the Wild Plum primitive camping area at Isle du Bois Campsites.
Wildlife viewing: The natural setting attracts various wildlife species throughout the year. At Johnson Branch on Lake Ray Roberts, one visitor reports, "Deer will approach your campsite and you're likely to see all kinds of wildlife. A gem of a getaway!" according to Tony C. about Johnson Branch Campsites.
Swimming beaches: Multiple campgrounds feature swimming areas with sand beaches during summer months. At Willow Grove Park, Summer A. describes, "The lake was warm and there was a little 'beach' for swimming- I would recommend water shoes and floaties! There are picnic tables and benches all over and tons of parking."
What campers like
Spacious, private sites: Many campsites near Sanger offer good separation between neighbors. At Hickory Creek - Lewisville Lake, Reynolds O. notes, "A lot of space between sites, well level and paved, family oriented, very quiet, beautiful lake and tree sites, lighted power supply post with all the amps available."
Off-season tranquility: Winter camping provides a more secluded experience with fewer visitors. Eric R. shares about Isle du Bois: "There are few campers here in December. Restrooms were clean. Campsites, large and private."
Well-maintained facilities: Campgrounds consistently receive positive comments about cleanliness. According to Robert H. at Johnson Branch: "A very clean and well kept State Park, Bath and showers are very clean and warm it is cold today 38 Degrees."
What you should know
Water levels fluctuate: Lake levels can impact campsite availability and access. "We went last weekend, water is high, some areas for RV flooded out. Great place to go," reports Augustin T. about Isle du Bois.
Primitive site distances: Walk-in sites may require longer hikes than expected. Christopher L. warns about Isle du Bois: "The trail path to the campsites is further than indicated or implied on the website, which isn't a problem if you're packed light, but if you're car camping with heavy equipment you will be surprised how far it is."
Security considerations: Some campgrounds have different levels of security monitoring. At Willow Grove Park, Joyce L. notes, "The park is technically closed at 10pm but there's no gate and technically anyone can drive in any time. I saw the police drive through often, but it still didn't feel as secure as other campsites I've been to."
