ScoutThis is a great campground. Power was good, att service is good and the grounds are very clean. The only downside is no full hookups and the dump station is outside of the gate which they lock at 10pm and don't open again until 10am. So no getting back in while locked and you can't dump except when there are lines.
LegendLots of different types of sites. Large sites with a lot of privacy. Be sure to look at driveway lengths.
RangerThis was easily one of the most beautiful campgrounds we stayed at during our trip. The view over the water is absolutely stunning, and because there’s plenty of space between the campsites and large trees provide shade over many of them, the whole place feels incredibly welcoming and peaceful. We were really disappointed that we could only stay for one night. The only small downside was the bathhouse. It was reasonably clean, but very warm inside because there was no air conditioning, or at least it didn’t seem to be working. The showers were also a bit inconvenient since they didn’t have proper showerheads. On the positive side, each shower area was spacious and included its own private toilet, which was nice. Aside from this minor issue, this is a truly beautiful campground, and it’s definitely a place where we would have loved to spend a few more nights.
RangerLike most of our stops, we only spent one night here, but it was a really nice campground. The sites are large, and being right by the water makes the whole place feel peaceful and relaxing. A big plus was the covered picnic tables and benches at each site, which made it much more comfortable to eat outside without sitting in the direct sun. The only small downside was the bathhouse. It was nice to have your own private bathroom with both a toilet and a shower, but the shower only produced a small stream of water with fairly low pressure. Upgrading the showerheads would definitely improve the experience. It's also worth knowing that you can't access the campground after 10 PM, apparently not even with an access code. Other than those minor issues, this is a really beautiful campground and a great place to stay.
GuideNice campsite with lots of trees and privacy. Goog picnic table with shelter. Marginal cell phone reception. Clean restrooms.
GuideVery nice park! Arriving early evening was good because the numbering of sites was somewhat confusing. There was no one available at the gate to provide a map or directions. The gate was also timed, so I had a difficult time passing through without the rail dropping onto or between my vehicle and trailer. Took me 3 tries to gain success. I had a pull-through site, so that made things easier. Other than that, it is a beautiful place next to the lake. I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the pleasant people who utilized the campground. It seemed to be a busy place that is well maintained. Glad I found it!
LegendStayed in the Lakeside Loop. Very private patio areas. Large park. Pay close attention to site lengths. No margin for error. Swim beach, multiple boat ramps, perch pond and lots of day sites.
GuideThe Good, level, spacious campsites with an awning over the picnic table. Great lay out for campsites. The Lake Lavon was beautiful. The not so good, the restrooms were old and not well kept up. They were not heated which probably doesn't matter most of the time in Texas but when we were there it was 20 degrees. Secondly there is dog poop everywhere, it seems that every time I stepped off of the pavement I had to clean dog crap out of my shoes.
Traveler45-50 mins from downtown Dallas. Quiet in January. Stayed two nights, space 45. Level
