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.

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.

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.

Sugar Hill RV Resort

78 RV Sites

Sugar Hill RV Resort in Anna, Texas, offers 78 full-hookup RV sites just off I-75 in northern Collin County, with 30 and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 52 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Signature Treeside, Meadowside, and Tree Side back-in categories join deluxe and Signature pull-through tiers, with a pool, hot tub, fitness center, and on-site dining. Seventy-eight sites span deluxe back-in, Meadowside back-in, Tree Side back-in, Signature back-in, Signature Treeside, Signature pull-through, and pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 52 feet. Naming categories by setting — treeside or meadowside — is more useful than a numbered tier, and the paved, landscaped sites back up the upscale positioning. Accessible sites are available. A laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Free fast WiFi runs throughout, and there is a special rate for stays of a month or longer. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a fitness center, walking trails, a pond, creek, playground, dog park, and on-site dining filling the grounds. Fishing and swimming run on site. Pets are welcome. Anna sits about 35 miles north of Dallas in one of the fastest-growing corridors in the country, which drives a substantial extended-stay and relocation market alongside travelers. Spring and fall are most comfortable in North Texas. Reserve ahead, and ask about monthly rates.

McWest RV Park

30 RV Sites

McWest RV Park in McKinney, Texas, is a convenient, pet-friendly campground in Collin County with back-in RV sites featuring water and sewer hookups and 30 or 50-amp electrical service, trash service, and on-site laundry — a no-frills, practical overnight and extended-stay park in one of the fastest-growing suburban cities in the United States, positioned north of Dallas in the suburban Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex corridor that Collin County's residential and commercial growth has made the most rapidly expanding real estate market in Texas over the past two decades. McKinney's Collin County position on U.S. 75 north of Plano gives guests the DFW metropolitan day-trip access alongside the specific historic downtown square character that makes McKinney a distinctive destination amid the surrounding suburban development. Back-in sites with water, sewer, 30 and 50-amp electrical service, trash, and laundry give McWest the complete practical daily living infrastructure for the extended-stay and shorter-term RV resident who values the McKinney location's DFW suburban access over the resort amenity programming of the larger commercial campgrounds. The park's pet-friendly orientation reflects the practical guest-first approach of a campground whose core market is the working traveler, contractor, and relocation resident whose RV park needs center on reliable utilities and convenience. Pets are welcome. McKinney's historic downtown square, two miles east of the campground, is one of the most-visited and most-awarded historic commercial districts in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex — a Collin County courthouse square with 19th-century brick storefronts, independent restaurants, boutique retailers, art galleries, and the Saturday farmers market that sustains the civic identity of McKinney's historic core as the most intact Victorian commercial square in the northern DFW suburban corridor. McKinney's Cottage District, the adjacent 1870s-1920s residential neighborhood surrounding the downtown square, sustains the residential historic character that the surrounding Collin County development pressure has left relatively unaffected. Lake Lavon, 12 miles southeast of McKinney in Collin and Rockwall Counties, is the closest major reservoir to the DFW Metroplex's northeastern quadrant — a 21,400-acre Army Corps of Engineers impoundment on the East Fork of the Trinity River whose sailing, bass fishing, and the Lavon Beach public access give the Collin County community its freshwater recreation proximity within the suburban DFW corridors that surrounding reservoir access specifically enables. Heard Natural Science Museum and Wildlife Sanctuary in McKinney, two miles north of the campground, provides the native Texas plants, wildlife exhibits, and the raptor center that give the Collin County community its natural science education destination adjacent to the urban development. McWest RV Park serves guests year-round in Collin County's temperate north Texas climate, where the mild winters sustain the extended-stay and snowbird market and the spring and fall seasons provide the most comfortable conditions for the McKinney downtown and DFW metro day-trip range. The Toyota Stadium in Frisco, 10 miles west of McKinney, houses FC Dallas MLS soccer and hosts the FCS football championship game annually — giving the Collin County campground the professional sports proximity that the stadium's suburban DFW position specifically provides. Reserve sites ahead for the major DFW events and holiday weekends when the north Dallas suburban campground market sees elevated demand from the regional leisure and construction traveler market.

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.

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.

Hidden Grove RV Resort

107 RV Sites, 16 Cabins, 10 Tent Sites, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer, 1 Apartment

Hidden Grove RV Resort in Honey Grove, Texas, offers 108 full-hookup RV sites, 17 apartment and cabin units, and 10 tent sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 72 feet. Concrete and gravel categories are listed separately across premier and standard tiers, with an outdoor pool, lake, pond, and kayak rentals in Fannin County. One hundred eight sites span back-in concrete, back-in gravel, premier back-in concrete, premier pull-through concrete, and pull-through gravel categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 72 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Publishing the surface by category is unusually transparent — you know whether you are on concrete or gravel before you book, and 72 feet handles a long coach. Seventeen apartments and cabins and 10 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, and RV storage handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with a lake and pond supporting fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and kayak rentals. Walking trails, hiking, horseshoes, corn hole, a playground, and picnicking fill the grounds, with live music through the season, wine and beer tasting nearby, and productive birding. Pets are welcome. Managers Brian and Cat Pierce are full-time RVers themselves, with more than 25 combined years in hospitality — the firsthand perspective shows in how the property is run. Spring and fall are most comfortable in northeast Texas. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.

Good Shepard RV Park

12 RV Sites

In Gunter, Texas—in Grayson County 50 miles north of Dallas on the US Highway 75 corridor where the North Texas blackland prairie transitions toward the Red River and the Texas-Oklahoma border—Good Shepherd RV Park & Storage offers a full-service retreat with a pool, hot tub, splash pad, dog park, clubhouse, pavilion, laundry, playground, and a pond and lake on the property for fishing and waterside relaxation, alongside full hookup sites, RV storage, and boat storage in a well-maintained North Texas property that positions travelers within easy reach of Lake Texoma, the Sherman-Denison metropolitan area, and the broader Grayson County outdoor recreation and historical inventory that the Texoma corridor provides. For travelers making the Dallas-to-Oklahoma City run or coming specifically for Lake Texoma's legendary striper fishing, Gunter provides a comfortable home base. Full hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer provide the practical infrastructure alongside the pool, hot tub, and splash pad that serve guests across all age groups during the North Texas summer. A clubhouse and pavilion provide covered gathering space for groups and social events, and the dog park accommodates traveling pets in a property where the open North Texas landscape and the pond's wildlife watching create the natural character that grounds the campground experience. RV storage and boat storage serve the local extended-stay and snowbird communities who need secure, convenient storage between trips. A general store, propane fills, dump station, and clean bathrooms and showers complete the comprehensive infrastructure. Gunter sits in Grayson County in the Texoma region—the bi-state recreational area anchored by Lake Texoma, the massive reservoir on the Red River created by Denison Dam in 1944 that spans the Texas-Oklahoma border and covers approximately 89,000 acres with 580 miles of shoreline. The lake's position on the state line creates a unique regulatory environment where Texas freshwater fishing license holders can fish Texas waters and Oklahoma license holders can fish Oklahoma waters, and the striper fishery that the Corps of Engineers has developed through stocking programs makes Lake Texoma the striped bass fishing destination in the southern United States—with fish exceeding 30 pounds and the guide boat industry built around the lake's extraordinary striper population. Denison, approximately 20 miles northeast on US-75, is the birthplace of President Dwight D. Eisenhower—the Eisenhower Birthplace State Historic Site preserves the Victorian cottage where Eisenhower was born in 1890, and the Eisenhower statue on Main Street anchors the downtown historical district. Sherman, Grayson County's seat, provides the commercial services, Austin College campus, and the regional museum infrastructure that complements the lake's outdoor recreation. The Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge on the Big Mineral Arm of Lake Texoma protects critical waterfowl wintering habitat in a refuge that concentrates ducks, geese, and shorebirds in numbers that make it one of the most productive birding refuges in North Texas. Good Shepherd RV Park operates year-round in Grayson County's North Texas climate, where the fall striper season on Lake Texoma from September through November draws the guide boat community and independent anglers from across the region and the mild winter temperatures make the Texoma corridor comfortable for extended stays. The pool and splash pad serve the summer family visitors, and the spring bass fishing season on the lake's shallower coves adds another dimension to the recreational calendar. Reserve your site at Good Shepherd RV Park and let Lake Texoma's legendary striper fishing, Grayson County's Red River landscape, and Gunter's convenient US-75 position deliver the North Texas stop that the lake and the history both deserve.

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.

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.

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.
