7. Westlake Day Use
Lewisville Lake, Texas1 Review•3 SavesOverview
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.

Visited mid-week; hot weather, lake breeze, and shade made it pleasant. Locals fishing or grilling slightly diminished the wilderness vibe.

Gypsy Moon Hideaway RV Park
Laid back
If you like a laid back approach to camping, this place is it. They advertise "farm fresh eggs" at the bait shop, and though we didn't partake, we know they were serious because of the chickens that were roaming the grounds. One of them inspected the storage bay of my travel trailer while I was setting up! We arrived about 4 p.m., and there was no one around to check in with, I think because of a family emergency of some sort. So I just picked one of the open RV lots and backed in. When I did check in later with Amy, she said "no problem" with the lot I picked. Like I say, "laid back"!

Free parking on a lake with bathroom and tables
Overall good free spot right on the water. We weren’t quite level on the road but nice to have bathrooms with running water and picnic tables right outside. Sign said you can stay for multiple nights.

Plateau — Lake Mineral Wells State Park
Big spots and clean bathhouses
Two last nights we got here all the way from Carlsbad Canyon at 9 pm ,park closes at 10 pm. It was a long drive to get there and when son showed us out in the lake , what it looked like then we shaked heads and said are You sure ? It had rained a lot before we got there and the lake was floating over the road by the dam drive over,it was rather scary .
Lots of trails to walk in area, but because of this massive rain its not possible to walk over by the dam,just to be aware if it.
We got lots of sun next day and had a good time walking around at the campground, we took a tour into town ,nice little town to walk around in some intersting stores there.
We saw lots of birds and turtels in the lake.
We had a lakeview from the oppsite of the road.

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.

Weatherford-Fort Worth West KOA
Needs some work
Generally I’ll stay at a KOA for a night when traveling through. They are like McDonald’s, nothing special but you know what to expect. This one was below par even for a KOA. We arrived just at 5:00 pm but the office was already closed. Didn’t see any staff before we left in the morning. Out checking information was available on the bulletin board. A sign said there were no more available sites, but there were clearly over 40 empty spaces. Many of the sites need new picnic tables, and the trees are full of dead branches. However the grass was mowed. Sites are very close together. Closer than most. There is a grassy dog park. There is also the a playground- a swing set! Also a pool which appears functional. Bathroom and showers were adequate. !
There is an RV repair facility next door.

Mark B.ScoutDodge 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

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.
