$18 for a Standard Non Electric Spot
We stayed in spot A08 & I highly recommend it. Incredible view all day w/ Instant Access to Water (you gotta trot down rocks in pictures but it's easy enough)
Zero issue with bugs.
Pros: Bathroom (Toilet Paper), Showers (Weak Pressure), Quiet, Personal Fire Rings. Gas Station/ convenient store & a few restaurants right outside the grounds.
ScoutWe'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.
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.
GuidePSA: THERE ARE PORTA POTTIES — you do not need to dig a cat hole, I repeat there are bathrooms; not pretty by any means but they are there. The area we were camped at had a lot of trash on the ground. Looks like some of the garbage cans haven’t been changed/cleaned out in weeks. Critters got into the garbage too. Other than that, it’s quiet, plenty of spots to park and a great spot for fishing. Very pretty views. Seems like a semi-busy park for locals.
ScoutSeveral walk-in campsites that are close to the lake shore. No restrooms so bring your own toilet. This site is very close to the shore and is perfect for SUP. Loved it!!
GuideStaying in site 11, with access to the lake (fun for kids, fishing). The site is HUGE! Woke to the sounds of birds. Lots of shade and privacy. Site 11 is next to overflow parking but its not a big deal. All the sites up against the lake looked great! The bathrooms are fine, 1 shared between two loops-slightly far walk. But that wasn't an issue for us. There are a few short miles worth of trails we plan to walk-they appear to be wooded walking trails. All in all this place is a hidden gem if you want to get into nature with the luxury of electric and water, and showers/flushing toilets. Also, I have 3 bars of service (AT&T)
LegendAbout 45minutes north of Dallas which makes easy entry and exit. Very clean amenities, spacious sites, better than average dog park, good amount of grass and walking trails around. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Even had a small fitness room that will work in a pinch.
TravelerWe are not much into camping but love the outdoors. We loved the Whispering Woods vibe as it gave us the comforts of home (bathroom, kitchen, shower, comfy bed) yet in an outdoor setting. Lots of options to stay from a Boho tent, Airstream and other types of tents making it a perfect place for a family reunion or several families to stay. We appreciated the details of coffee in our Airstream and sitting on the patio early morning listening to the birds chirping. The air is fresher there and the stars, wow, I forgot how many there actually are. Fire pit was great for conversation, relaxing and peaceful. We highly recommend this place to get recharged and only 90 min from our home in Frisco, TX.
TravelerBest place to go for a clean and quiet place to camp. Beautiful location, sunsets, horses and donkeys makes Sleep Under the Pecan Trees a place we go to camp multiple times a year for three years now.
