Dallas NE Campground - An Open Road Resort Property

14 RV Sites, 8 Cabins, 1 Tent Site, 1 Cottage

Finding a campground that actually feels like a resort — not just a parking lot with hookups — within practical range of a major Texas city is harder than it sounds. Dallas NE Campground in Caddo Mills, operated by Open Road Resorts, solves that problem with a clean, thoughtfully equipped property that gives metropolitan Dallas campers a genuine outdoor escape without a three-hour drive. Located roughly 45 minutes east of downtown in Hunt County, this is the campground you come to when you want a proper amenity package, a fishing lake, and the practical advantage of easy city access on the same trip. The campground accommodates 105 full-hookup RV sites with water, sewer, and electric connections alongside 10 rustic cabins for guests who prefer lodging. Clean restroom and laundry facilities are maintained to a high standard throughout the property, and the retail store, propane fill station, and community fire pits handle the convenience-layer needs that make a stay work smoothly. The gated entry and attentive management create a security and cleanliness atmosphere that elevates the overall experience above typical highway-adjacent campgrounds. The amenity package covers the full spectrum of family outdoor recreation. A swimming pool with a splash pad provides warm-season cooling in the Texas summer heat. The 5-acre catch-and-release fishing lake is a genuine highlight — well-stocked, requiring no fishing license for campground guests, and located on the south side of the property with nearby picnic areas. A fitness center supports health-conscious travelers. A game room and playground entertain all ages through the less outdoors-oriented hours, and the dog park ensures that traveling pets are covered. Sports courts and dining options round out the daily comfort list. Lake Ray Hubbard — one of the Dallas area's premier recreational lakes — is about 20 minutes west of the campground, adding boating, water skiing, and additional fishing to the regional activity list. Lake Tawakoni State Park, a short drive east, offers shoreline hiking and access to one of East Texas's most distinctive lakes. The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is fully accessible for day trips — from the Dallas Museum of Art and AT&T Stadium to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science and the vibrant Deep Ellum entertainment district. Dallas NE Campground is open year-round, and Texas's climate creates a long effective camping season stretching from early spring through late fall with relatively mild winters. Weekends fill quickly for this region's most popular family-camping destination, so planning ahead is worthwhile. Families visiting Dallas for sports events, family gatherings, or business travel will find it a practical and comfortable alternative to traditional hotel accommodations. Come for the fishing lake, stay for the splash pad, and use the strong highway access to make the most of the greater DFW region. Hunt County's growing wine trail and local farm markets add a distinctly Texan flavor to day trips from the campground.

Countryside RV Park

81 RV Sites

On the rolling farmland of Hunt County in northeast Texas, 45 miles northeast of Dallas on Interstate 30, Countryside RV Park provides a clean, full-service campground in the quiet community of Greenville—a park that combines 92 spacious sites, competitive full hookup infrastructure, and a welcoming staff culture anchored by the campground's signature free coffee bar into a highway destination that travelers consistently rate above the surrounding northeast Texas campground competition. The 157 Bethel Road address puts guests equidistant between the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and the I-30 corridor's northeast Texas communities, making Countryside a natural base for both long-distance travelers resting between destinations and Dallas visitors who want rural pricing without sacrificing full hookup access. Ninety-two spacious RV sites with sewer, water, and 20/30/50-amp electric hookups include pull-through options for the largest rigs and covered sites for monthly guests who appreciate the shade during northeast Texas summers. A clean and spacious bathhouse, dedicated laundry facilities, and a general store provide practical daily support, and the free coffee bar—stocked with a range of coffees and hot cocoa—provides the welcoming morning ritual that transforms a functional campground stop into something guests remember and return to. The pet-friendly policy and open grass areas make the campground equally accommodating for traveling pets, and the bird and wildlife watching that the surrounding Hunt County farmland enables adds an unexpected natural dimension to an otherwise practical highway campground. Greenville, the Hunt County seat, sits at the center of a northeast Texas agricultural landscape of cattle ranches, hay farms, and the blackland prairie soils stretching from the Dallas exurbs to the Ark-La-Tex border. Lake Tawakoni, a 36,700-acre reservoir on the Sabine River about 25 miles southeast of Greenville, provides one of the region's most productive fishing lakes for bass, white bass, crappie, and the blue and channel catfish inhabiting the lake's deep channels year-round. The lake's extensive shoreline, much of it accessible from Tawakoni State Park on the lake's south bank, makes it the primary outdoor recreation destination for the Hunt County and Rockwall County communities east of Dallas. The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, within 45 miles via I-30, provides the full urban amenity spectrum for guests who want the metropolitan experience from a rural base—the American Airlines Center's concert and sports programming, Fair Park's museums and the Cotton Bowl, and the Perot Museum of Nature and Science's world-class natural history collections. Heard Natural Science Museum and Wildlife Sanctuary in McKinney, about 30 miles west, provides a curated natural history experience more proportionate to a day-trip from Greenville, and the East Texas State Fair in nearby Commerce celebrates Hunt County's agricultural heritage each September. Lake Ray Hubbard, one of the Dallas area's most popular recreational lakes, lies just 30 miles west. Northeast Texas's humid subtropical climate delivers warm springs, hot summers, and mild winters that make Countryside RV Park functional year-round for travelers and extended-stay residents. Spring thunderstorm season from March through May brings the dramatic weather that the South Plains corridor is known for, and the open Hunt County sky provides unobstructed views of the lightning displays that afternoon storms produce. Summer heat intensifies by July and August but the covered monthly sites, laundry, and bathhouse air conditioning provide relief, and the quiet autumn weather from September through November represents the most comfortable season for extended northeast Texas stays.

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. Waterfront back-in sites join premium and standard back-in and pull-through categories, with a boat ramp, fishing pier, outdoor pool, and general store. Eighty-three sites span standard back-in, standard pull-thru, premium back-in, premium pull-thru, and waterfront back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet. 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. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends and holiday periods.

429 Marina & Resort

124 RV Sites

429 Marina and Resort in Quinlan, Texas, offers 124 full-hookup RV sites on Lake Tawakoni with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Deluxe and premium waterfront back-in categories join standard and pull-through sites, alongside a marina, outdoor pool, and on-site fishing guides. One hundred twenty-four sites span standard back-in, premium back-in, premium pull-through, premium waterfront back-in, and deluxe waterfront back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet. The waterfront tiers are the ones to request. Cabins round out the lodging. A laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, RV storage, and personal mailboxes handle the practical side. A marina gives direct lake access for boating, water sports, and swimming, with on-site fishing guides available — a genuine advantage on a lake this size. An outdoor pool, clubhouse, dog park, and biking fill the grounds, with planned activities through the season and wine and beer tasting nearby. Pets are welcome. Lake Tawakoni stretches 36,700 acres across Rains and Hunt Counties on the Sabine River drainage, and its blue, channel, and flathead catfish populations have earned it the informal title of Catfish Capital of Texas. Summer lake season and the spring and fall fishing runs drive demand. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.

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.

Nature Trails RV Park

63 RV Sites

Nature Trails RV Park near Greenville, Texas, offers 63 full-hookup back-in RV sites across 76 privately held acres of East Texas timber and bottomland, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 75 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. A catch-and-release lake, walking trails, and dog park sit in Hunt County's rural fringe. Sixty-three back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 75 feet. A single back-in category keeps things simple, and 75 feet accommodates a long coach with a tow — generous for a wooded property where trees usually limit maneuvering. A laundry, propane fills, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A catch-and-release lake supports fishing, with walking and hiking trails threading the surrounding hardwood forest and a dog park on the grounds. The white-tailed deer population is substantial and the birding is productive — this is a genuinely nature-immersive property rather than a parking lot with hookups, which is the point. Pets are welcome. Seventy-six acres of private timber in Hunt County gives guests real space, east of Greenville in the rolling country where the Blackland Prairie gives way to East Texas woods. Dallas is within a straightforward drive west, which makes this workable as a quiet base for the metroplex as well as a destination in itself. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable North Texas conditions. Demand is steadier than seasonal here, with extended stays a significant share. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends and call about monthly rates.

Old Rooster Creek RV Park

Old Rooster Creek RV Park occupies a family-friendly property in Princeton, Texas—a rapidly growing Collin County community about 30 miles northeast of Dallas where the agricultural character of the Blackland Prairie is giving way to the suburban expansion driven by the DFW metropolitan area's relentless outward growth. The park's 52 covered RV sites, event barn, and combination of pet amenities and recreational infrastructure make it a practical choice for both Dallas-area weekend campers and interstate travelers moving through the US-380 and US-75 corridors in northeast Texas. Fifty-two sites—some with side yards with mature trees—provide full hookups with 30 and 50-amp electric service, water, sewer, and WiFi, all under covered structures that shade both the vehicles and the outdoor living space from the Texas summer sun. A fitness center, dog park, pet washing station, laundry, bathrooms, and boat storage handle the practical daily and trip-end needs. The park's 2,500-square-foot party barn with a full kitchen, covered patio, and restrooms accommodating up to 200 guests provides private event infrastructure that makes it a venue for reunions, celebrations, and group gatherings alongside the standard RV camping operation. A weekend flea market on Saturdays and Sundays generates on-site activity and browsing entertainment during the primary camping days. Princeton sits in Collin County on the US-380 corridor between McKinney and Greenville, in a landscape that has transitioned from the cotton and grain farming of the Blackland Prairie through several decades of accelerating residential and commercial development following the DFW metroplex's northeastern expansion. The city's rapid growth—one of the fastest-growing communities in Texas through the first quarter of the twenty-first century—reflects the same exurban pressure that has transformed Collin County from agricultural into one of the most economically active suburban counties in the United States. The park's location in this growth corridor gives it convenient access to the full DFW commercial infrastructure while maintaining the quieter, less congested character of a community still on the fringe of the metropolitan edge. Lake Lavon, a US Army Corps of Engineers reservoir on the East Fork of the Trinity River, is the primary outdoor recreation draw within easy reach of the campground—a 21,400-acre lake in Collin and Rockwall counties that provides bass, crappie, catfish, and white bass fishing alongside the swimming beaches, boat ramps, and hiking trails of the Corps-managed Lavon Lake District parks. The lake's position in the Collin County exurban ring makes it the closest major lake recreation venue to the northeastern DFW suburbs, and the campground's position between the lake and the US-75 corridor makes Old Rooster Creek a natural staging point for Lavon Lake day trips from the Dallas area. Old Rooster Creek RV Park operates year-round in the north Texas climate where the Collin County spring and fall seasons—April through May and September through November—deliver the most comfortable outdoor conditions for camping, and summer heat from June through August makes the covered site structures and shaded outdoor spaces essential daily amenities. McKinney, one of Texas's most consistently ranked mid-size cities for livability, is about 15 miles northwest and provides the full commercial and cultural infrastructure of a rapidly developing Texas city with a preserved historic downtown square.

Plantation Place RV Park

3 RV Sites

Plantation Place RV Park in Sunnyvale, Texas, offers full-hookup pull-through RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 40 feet, on a quiet lake-adjacent property in the eastern Dallas metro. A private lake for fishing, an on-site dining facility, and a pavilion anchor a small campground seven minutes from shopping and restaurants. Pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 40 feet. This is a small park, so confirm availability rather than arriving on spec. Laundry handles the practical side. Pets are welcome. The private lake is the distinguishing feature, giving guests on-site fishing without leaving the property — uncommon this close to a major metro. An on-site dining facility and pavilion round out the amenities, and the quiet setting is genuinely quiet despite the suburban surroundings. Sunnyvale sits in the eastern Dallas metropolitan area, where Kaufman County's rolling terrain meets the lake recreation of Lake Ray Hubbard and the wider East Texas reservoir network. The park is seven minutes from shopping, restaurants, and movie theaters, which makes it practical for both travelers and longer stays. Directions from I-30 and Bobtown Road (Exit 60): go 1.6 miles south on Bobtown Road, then a quarter mile west on Barnes Bridge Road to 345 Barnes Bridge Road, entering on the right. The park operates through the North Texas season, serving travelers on the I-20 and US-80 corridors alongside longer-stay guests. Spring and fall are the most comfortable — reserve ahead.

Creek Crossing RV Park

2 RV Sites

On County Road 424 off Highway 121 in Anna, Texas—in Collin County's rapidly developing northern Dallas corridor where the city of Anna's population growth, the McKinney National Airport's aviation community, and the proximity to Lake Lavon, Lake Ray Roberts, and the Collin County wine and agritourism corridor create the north-of-Dallas suburban and rural transition that the highway 121 and US-75 growth communities have built into one of Texas's fastest-growing counties—Creek Crossing RV Park provides 23 tree-shaded acres of full hookup sites with the large oak, elm, and cedar trees and natural landscaping that the quiet country atmosphere delivers, a dog park, walking trails alongside an on-site creek, a pavilion, a playground, a recreation center, laundry, showers, a community fire pit, 24/7 security camera monitoring, WiFi, and the peaceful rural character that the Collin County suburban market drives north to reach when the Allen, Plano, and McKinney density becomes the motivation to find the oak canopy and the fire ring that the adjacent countryside provides. Oak, elm, and cedar trees. A creek. Twenty-three quiet acres north of Dallas. The 23 acres of full hookup sites with the natural landscaping of large oak, elm, and cedar trees—smooth gravel drives and the natural ground cover that the Collin County agricultural land sustains—create the quiet, shaded campsite environment that the suburban traveler from the Dallas-Plano-McKinney corridor drives north to find after the concrete-and-manicured-grass RV park experience of the metroplex interior. The dog park, walking trails along the on-site creek, pavilion, playground, and recreation center create the practical daily amenity inventory, and the community fire pit creates the evening gathering space that the campground's quiet country atmosphere makes most enjoyable in the Collin County evenings when the highway noise settles and the creek's sound replaces it. The 24/7 security camera coverage serves the extended-stay and overnight traveler's peace of mind on the Anna property. Anna sits in Collin County on US-75 at the northernmost urban growth point of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex's eastern corridor, in the community whose population has grown from 8,000 in 2010 to over 25,000 in the mid-2020s as the Allen-McKinney-Anna corridor's northward expansion has pushed residential and commercial development into Grayson County's southern edge. The Highway 121 corridor's east-west connection and US-75 northward extension toward Sherman create the accessibility that the Collin County camping market uses to reach Anna without the I-35E or I-45 congestion of the western and southern Dallas approaches. McKinney, 15 miles south on US-75, provides the Collin County seat's historic downtown square—ranked the best place to live in the United States by Money magazine in 2014—the Heard Natural Science Museum and Wildlife Sanctuary's 289 acres of meadow and creek habitat, and the McKinney National Airport's corporate aviation infrastructure that serves the northern Collin County business community. Lake Lavon, 15 miles southwest near Wylie, provides the 21,400-acre reservoir's fishing, boating, and the Collin Park's camping and swimming that the Dallas eastern suburban market accesses as the closest major reservoir to the Plano-Allen-McKinney corridor. Lake Ray Roberts, 25 miles northwest, provides a second major reservoir with state park access. Creek Crossing RV Park operates year-round in Collin County's temperate north Texas climate, with the spring wildflower season from March through April and the fall color from October through November providing the most pleasant conditions for the outdoor fire pit and walking trail experience that the 23 oak-shaded acres create in the seasonal character. Reserve your shaded site at Creek Crossing and let the creek, the oak canopy, and the Collin County country atmosphere make the Anna address the quiet North Texas retreat that the highway 121 and US-75 corridor provides twenty minutes beyond McKinney's suburban edge.

Cowboys RV Park

78 RV Sites

Cowboys RV Park in Emory, Texas, offers 78 full-hookup RV sites between Lake Fork and Lake Tawakoni, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet. Premium back-in and pull-through categories join a dog park, laundry, and clean restrooms in the heart of northeast Texas fishing country. Seventy-eight sites run in premium back-in and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 40 feet. Note the 40-foot cap before booking a larger rig. A laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The park is straightforward rather than resort-scale, which keeps rates accessible for anglers on multi-day trips. A dog park sits on the grounds, with a lake nearby and productive birding through the surrounding transition country. Pets are welcome. The position is the whole proposition. Emory sits in Rains County directly between Lake Fork and Lake Tawakoni — two of the most productive and most visited freshwater fisheries in Texas. Lake Fork is the state's premier trophy largemouth bass lake and has produced more Texas record fish than any other water body; Tawakoni's catfish reputation is strong enough to have earned it the informal title of Catfish Capital of Texas. Being between them means you can fish either without repacking, in the Piney Woods-Post Oak Savanna transition zone of northeast Texas. Spring and fall bring the best fishing and the most comfortable conditions. Reserve ahead for tournament weekends, when the local corridor fills quickly.

from $41/night

Rusted Rail RV Park

1 RV Site

On the eastern fringes of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, in the gently rolling prairie of Kaufman County, Rusted Rail RV Park serves as a well-appointed suburban base camp for travelers who need Dallas access without Dallas prices or traffic. Eighty-six full-hookup sites spread across all-asphalt streets and pads—a detail that eliminates the muddy entry roads and uneven pull-throughs that plague so many metro-adjacent parks—and the 70-foot pad length accommodates even the largest Class A rigs and fifth-wheels without squeezing. The park's proximity to Cedar Creek Lake and the Rusted Rail Golf Resort adds a recreational dimension that elevates this well beyond a highway stopover. Every site features 30/50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections on 70-foot asphalt pads that keep rigs clean and level regardless of the season. A children's playground and laundry facilities serve family travelers, and the park's fully pet-friendly policy welcomes dogs of all sizes to the grounds. High-speed Wi-Fi connects throughout the park, making Rusted Rail a comfortable choice for remote workers who need a reliable Dallas-area address for a week or a month. A dog park and picnic area are in development, further rounding out the amenity package for extended-stay residents. The Rusted Rail Golf Resort sits just five minutes from the park entrance—an 18-hole course set in the cedar-dotted Kaufman County landscape that regularly draws players from across the greater Dallas area and provides guests a polished golf experience without a long drive into the city. Cedar Creek Lake, 20 minutes east, spans more than 32,000 acres and offers boating, waterskiing, bass fishing, and a marina community that has attracted a significant vacation-home following from Dallas and Terrell. The lake's largemouth bass population sustains an active tournament fishing circuit that runs throughout the spring and summer months. Downtown Dallas lies roughly 30 miles to the northwest, putting the AT&T Discovery District, the Dallas Museum of Art, and Fair Park within a manageable drive for guests who want a city day without a city hotel bill. Five Points Whiskey Distillery, a craft spirits producer 10 minutes from the park, offers tours and tastings for those who appreciate small-batch American whiskey made from locally sourced grains. The town of Kaufman itself provides a historic courthouse square with local dining, an antique district, and the understated character of a small Texas county seat that rewards a slow afternoon stroll. Kaufman County's mild winters make Rusted Rail a year-round destination that draws both passing travelers and extended-stay residents who appreciate the park's combination of solid infrastructure and metro convenience. Summer weekends see increased activity from Dallas-area families heading to Cedar Creek Lake, making advance reservations advisable for holiday periods. The park's all-asphalt infrastructure makes it particularly appealing during rainy spring months when other area parks struggle with rutted gravel and standing water—a practical advantage that repeat visitors cite as a primary reason to return.

Canton I-20 RV Park

40 RV Sites, 1 Tent Site

Canton I-20 RV Park in Wills Point, Texas, offers 40 full-hookup RV sites and a tent site directly off Interstate 20, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, rigs accepted to 70 feet, and ADA-accessible sites available. An outdoor pool, laundry, and RV storage support both overnight stops and longer stays, and the park is the natural base for Canton's First Monday Trade Days. Sites run from standard back-in and pull-through gravel to premium concrete, all carrying 20, 30, and 50-amp with water and sewer, plus deluxe gravel options. Rigs fit to 70 feet, picnic tables are at the sites, and accessible sites are available for guests who need them. WiFi reaches the park, laundry is on site, and RV storage serves guests leaving a rig between visits. The park is open 24/7; the office runs 9am to 5pm daily, with check-in at 3pm and check-out at noon. An outdoor pool anchors on-site recreation, with picnicking areas across the grounds. The amenity set is deliberately practical — this is a park built for quick highway access and Trade Days weekends rather than resort programming. Pets are welcome. First Monday Trade Days in Canton is the largest monthly outdoor market in the United States, running Thursday through Sunday before the first Monday of each month and drawing vendors and buyers from across the Southwest. Van Zandt County's limited hotel inventory makes this one of the most reliable overnight options for self-contained travelers during market weeks. The park operates year-round on the I-20 corridor between Dallas and Longview. Trade Days weekends are by far the busiest — book several weeks ahead for those, and expect easier availability midweek.
