Part of the Army Corps of Engineers' Lewisville Recreation Area, Willow Grove Park sits along Lake Dallas and draws a consistent mix of RV campers and tent campers throughout the year. The road into the park is a narrow residential street, and the entry gate is narrow as well, so drivers with larger rigs should approach with care. Sites are dirt with a small amount of pea gravel, generally level, and arranged along a single loop that makes backing in relatively straightforward.
Water access is the park's defining feature. Sites sit close to the lake, and campers report open sightlines toward the water from most spots. Swimming access appears to vary by season and area. The campground includes full hookups with electric, water, and sewer at RV sites, along with showers, a dump station, and WiFi, though the wireless signal has been described as unreliable. Cell coverage for Verizon and T-Mobile users is reportedly solid. There is also a small playground on site.
Crowd patterns matter here. Weekends bring larger groups, and the park has no staffed gate, meaning vehicle traffic can continue past the posted 10pm closure. Cristi M. notes it is "very quiet if you camp away from the pier," which suggests site selection makes a real difference. Solo campers and those sensitive to noise may want to weigh that when choosing a spot. The dump station is located outside the park near a middle school, roughly a quarter to half mile away with road traffic between. Nearby Hickory Creek is another option in the same corridor for campers comparing sites. Willow Grove works well as a base for exploring places to camp near Lake Dallas or the broader Lewisville area, and the campground's year-round availability makes it worth considering across seasons.
Description
RV sites have hookups for water and electricity. Tents can be placed in RV sites, at the RV site rate.
Primitive sites are first come, first served and DO NOT have water or electric hookups.
All camping stays require a permit. Typically, a permit placard and/or parking pass will be installed at the RV site prior to your arrival. In cases where a reservation is made after hours or weekend, be prepared to show your email confirmation should you be asked by a City Official or Police.
