Erwin Park sits on the northern edge of McKinney, Texas, where wooded creek corridors and a roughly nine-mile trail network draw a steady mix of mountain bikers, hikers, and overnight campers. The City of McKinney manages the park, and the campground gives access to both drive-in sites and walk-in tent sites spread across the property. Some sites carry more tree cover than others, and reviewers note the spacing feels generous enough for privacy without feeling isolated.
The trail system is maintained by DORBA and runs directionally, with cyclists and foot traffic moving in opposite directions. Weekends bring noticeably heavier use, particularly from mountain bikers, and parking can become a challenge. Brian calls it "best mountain bike single tracks around with lots of built features," and that reputation has made the park busier over the years. Trails flood easily after rain, so checking the DORBA website before arrival is a practical step worth taking.
Each site has a picnic table, fire pit, and trash can. Firewood is available, electric hookups are on-site for RVs, and the park is ADA accessible. Restrooms exist but have no shower facilities, and at least one reviewer flagged the bathroom doors as absent. Cleanliness varies and has become less consistent as visitation has grown. Reservations are available and worth considering for weekend stays. Campers looking at campgrounds around McKinney will find this one among the few with actual overnight infrastructure in the area. The park suits mountain bikers and trail runners most directly, though families using it as a low-key car camping base will find the setup functional.
