Old Rooster Creek RV Park

Old Rooster Creek RV Park in Princeton, Texas, offers water-and-electric RV sites in back-in and pull-through configurations, behind a gated entrance. A fitness center, pet washing station, laundry, pavilion, playground, dog park, and on-site dining serve a family-friendly property about 30 miles northeast of Dallas. Sites carry water and electric with site WiFi, in back-in and pull-through configurations. Contact the park to confirm amp service, length limits, and sewer availability for your rig — the published site records are incomplete, and it is worth a call rather than an assumption. A laundry, restrooms, showers, RV storage, boat storage, and a pavilion handle the practical side. The park notes that management is not responsible for tire inflation, battery charging, freezing, or heat loss — standard language worth reading before a winter stay. A fitness center, playground, dog park, pet washing station, pavilion, on-site dining, and picnicking fill the grounds. Pets are welcome, and the wash station is a genuinely useful touch after a muddy Texas spring. Princeton is one of the fastest-growing communities in Collin County, where the Blackland Prairie's agricultural character is giving way to DFW's suburban expansion. That growth drives a substantial workforce and long-stay market alongside travelers. Lake Lavon is minutes away for boating and fishing, McKinney's historic square is a short drive west, and downtown Dallas is about 45 minutes southwest. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable North Texas conditions. Demand runs steadily on corridor growth rather than a tourist season. Reserve ahead, and ask about monthly rates.

The property also hosts weddings. Caddo Mills sits northeast of Dallas, close enough to the metro to be practical and far enough out to feel like a resort. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Premium lakeside pull-throughs book first.

Good Shepard RV Park

12 RV Sites

Good Shepard RV Park in Gunter, TX, offers 12 full-hookup pull-thru RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet. Every site is a short-term 20/30/50-amp standard pull-thru carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Each site takes all three amp services, so there's no adapter guesswork. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, propane fills and exchange, a dump station, and both RV and boat storage cover the practical side. On arrival, all guests and visitors check in at the main office and sign the park rules. Pets are welcome, with a dog park.

Sunset Resort

83 RV Sites

Sunset Resort on Lake Tawakoni in Quinlan, Texas, offers 83 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet, behind a gated entrance an hour from Dallas.

The waterfront back-in category is the one to request — lake frontage at the site rather than a walk away. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and a gated entrance handle the practical side. A boat ramp and fishing pier give direct lake access for boating and fishing, with an outdoor pool alongside. A pavilion, playground, and cabins fill the grounds, with a creek on the property and a state park and water park nearby. Pets are welcome. Lake Tawakoni is one of the largest and most productive reservoirs in northeast Texas — 36,700 acres on the Sabine River drainage with a catfish reputation strong enough to earn it the informal title of Catfish Capital of Texas. Quinlan sits in Hunt County between the Dallas-Fort Worth metro and the East Texas Piney Woods, an hour from downtown Dallas. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand from the metroplex, with spring and fall fishing strong and considerably easier availability.

Anchor Inn Marina and Resort

86 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 3 Motel Rooms, 1 Mobile Home

Anchor Inn Marina and Resort in Quinlan, Texas, offers 86 RV sites and eight cabin, mobile home, and motel room units on 175 acres of Lake Tawakoni shoreline, with 30 and 50-amp electric service in standard and waterfront categories. Two boat ramps, a marina, fishing piers, and a fish cleaning station sit 50 miles east of Dallas. Eighty-six back-in sites run in standard and waterfront categories, carrying 30 and 50-amp electric — plan tank capacity accordingly, as the sites are electric rather than full hookup, and confirm water availability with the resort before you arrive. The waterfront category is the one to request. Eight cabins, mobile homes, and motel rooms round out the lodging, including seven lakefront cabins and 11 motel rooms. A laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The marina anchors the property, with two boat ramps, fishing piers, and a fish cleaning station opening the lake for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. Walking trails and shaded RV sites fill the rest, with a state park nearby. Pets are welcome. One hundred seventy-five acres and two miles of shoreline make this a genuine lakefront resort rather than a campground with lake access, and the multi-element property serves anglers, boaters, families, and corporate retreat groups from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Lake Tawakoni's catfish reputation is among the strongest in Texas. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand from the metroplex, with spring and fall fishing strong. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends, and confirm hookup details for your rig when you book.

The sites are notably large. A laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, RV storage, boat storage, and personal mailboxes handle the practical side — the mailboxes and storage point clearly at the long-stay residents the park also serves.

Waterfront Hideaway Ranch

Waterfront Hideaway Ranch in Little Elm, Texas, offers full-hookup RV sites and cabins on 14 acres of open pasture, shaded groves, and direct Lewisville Lake frontage, behind a gated entrance and open all year. A beach, dog park, and community fire pit sit 35 miles from downtown Dallas — among the most accessible private lakefront camping in the DFW corridor. The ranch is explicitly LGBTIQA+ friendly. Full-hookup RV sites and cabin accommodations serve both RV travelers and guests without a rig. Laundry, restrooms, and WiFi handle the practical side, and a gated entrance controls access. The property is open year-round. The lake frontage is the draw. A beach gives direct shoreline access, and swimming, fishing, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, and water sports all run from the property. A community fire pit anchors the evenings, a dog park serves pets, and corn hole and planned activities fill the rest. The open pasture and shaded groves make for good birding and stargazing despite the metropolitan proximity, and boating and skiing are nearby. Pets are welcome. Little Elm sits on Lewisville Lake's north shore in Denton County. Downtown Dallas is 35 miles away and Frisco's entertainment and sports venues 15 — a combination of lakefront setting and metropolitan access that is increasingly rare as Denton County develops. Lewisville Lake's bass fishing, Little Elm Park's sandy beach, and the Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area's nature trails are all close. The ranch operates year-round in the North Texas climate. Summer lake recreation drives peak demand from the DFW market — reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends and holidays.

An outdoor pool anchors the property, with a lake and pond supporting fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and kayak rentals.

Whitesboro RV Resort

85 RV Sites

Whitesboro RV Resort in Texas offers 85 full-hookup RV sites on level gravel pads in Grayson County, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 65 feet, open all year.

The pond category puts you on the water at the site. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, RV storage, and boat storage handle the practical side. One policy to clear first: RVs must be 10 years old or newer, though older rigs may be permitted with written approval — submit photos to [email protected] before booking. A pond supports fishing and boating, with a clubhouse, playground, ping pong, dog park, and picnicking filling the grounds. A golf course and a state park are nearby. Pets are welcome. Whitesboro sits on US Highway 82 in Grayson County, which serves two distinct markets well: long-haul travelers working the highway, and North Texas RV guests looking for a comfortable, uncrowded park within reasonable distance of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Lake Texoma is close for fishing and boating, and Sherman and Denison are a short drive east. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable North Texas conditions, with summer drawing Texoma traffic. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends, and clear RV approval early if your coach is older.

Ladera RV Resort

41 RV Sites

Ladera RV Resort in Sulphur Springs, TX, offers 41 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 79 feet. Sites come as back-in and pull-through full-hookup spots, including ADA-accessible sites, each carrying water, sewer, and electric. The 79-foot maximum makes room for the longest coaches, and the pull-throughs mean no unhitching on a travel night. Bathrooms and WiFi are on site, RV storage is available, and pets are welcome with a dog park on the grounds. The resort has a social center rather than a recreation complex: an on-site bar and dining room, a community fire pit, walking trails, and a pond. Fishing, boating, and kayaking are close by, wine tasting is nearby, and the dark Hopkins County sky makes for good stargazing. Sulphur Springs sits on Loop 301 in northeastern Texas, where the Piney Woods meet the Blackland Prairie, near Cooper Lake State Park's 19,000-acre reservoir and the Lake Fork bass fishery. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Ask about monthly rates and RV storage if you're planning an extended stay.

Read the category carefully — the electric-only tier carries no water or sewer at the site, so plan tank capacity accordingly. Four cabins round out the lodging: three one-bedroom units sleeping four and a two-bedroom sleeping six. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The property is undergoing upgrades, with construction generally confined to weekdays. The marina anchors it, with boat docks, a boat ramp, boat rentals, and on-site fishing guides.
