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.

Sunset Resort

83 RV Sites

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.

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

All carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table, and ADA-accessible sites are available. At 85 feet the pull-throughs take the longest coaches without unhitching.

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.

Big Bass RV Park & Boat Storage

80 RV Sites

Big Bass RV Park and Boat Storage in Yantis, Texas, offers 80 full-hookup RV sites on Lake Fork, with 30 and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 50 feet behind a gated entrance. Categories publish exact site dimensions — 45x12 back-in and 60x12 pull-through gravel sites, both with picnic tables — alongside a marina, boat ramp, boat rentals, and 32 enclosed boat storage units. Eighty sites run in 45x12 back-in 30/50-amp full hookup gravel and 60x12 pull-through 30/50-amp full hookup gravel categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet, with picnic tables. Publishing width and length by the foot removes every guess about whether your rig and slide-outs will fit. Accessible sites are available. A boutique shop, laundry, restrooms, showers, and 32 enclosed boat storage units handle the practical side. For weather warnings, the park map shows where to shelter — worth reviewing on arrival in East Texas. A marina, boat ramp, and boat rentals open the lake for boating, water sports, and fishing, with a pond, pavilion, walking trails, hiking, dog park, on-site dining, and productive birding filling the rest. A golf course and wine tasting are nearby. Lake Fork's reputation among bass anglers is outsized relative to its 27,000 acres — the reservoir has produced more Texas record largemouth than any other water body, and enclosed boat storage on site is exactly what that market wants. Spring bass season drives the sharpest demand. Reserve well ahead for tournament weekends.

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.

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 operates as a wedding venue, which shapes its weekend character in the warmer months. Pets are welcome.

Creek Crossing RV Park

2 RV Sites

Creek Crossing RV Park in Anna, Texas, offers two full-hookup pull-through RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout.

A recreation center, pavilion, community fire pit, playground, walking trails, and dog park fill the grounds, with picnicking, productive birding, and genuinely good stargazing. At two sites the laundry, showers, and recreation center are effectively private, and the quiet is the point — this is a small, well-kept park rather than a row of pads. Pets are welcome. Melissa is a ten-minute drive for groceries, restaurants, and a pharmacy. The park sits on County Road 424 off Highway 121 in Collin County's fast-growing northern Dallas corridor, with Lake Lavon and Lake Ray Roberts close and downtown McKinney's square worth the trip. 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 extended-stay rates.

50 RV Sites, 2 Cabins

A boat ramp, fishing pier, white-sand beach, and boat storage sit on 1,800 feet of shoreline. Fifty back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. A single back-in category keeps things simple, and every site gets a fire pit and picnic table. Two cabins round out the lodging.

Snorkeling is worth noting — the lake is spring-fed and clear enough to make it worthwhile, which is genuinely rare in East Texas. Walking trails, hiking, volleyball, a pavilion, and playground fill the grounds. Pets are welcome. The white sand and clear water give the property a distinctly coastal feel in the middle of the Piney Woods. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends.

Cora's Cabins (Savannahs Events)

5 Cabins

Cora's Cabins at Savannah's Events in Tyler, TX, offers 5 cabin rentals on the 170-acre Flyin H Ranch. This is a cabin and event property rather than a serviced RV park — the published record shows no RV sites or hookups, so contact them directly if you're traveling in a rig. A bathhouse, WiFi, on-site dining, and a recreation center serve guests. Pets are welcome. A pond, a lake, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, and dark ranch sky for stargazing fill the acreage. The property doubles as a full-service wedding and event venue, which is worth knowing both if you're planning one and if you'd rather not stay during someone else's. Tyler sits in Smith County as the commercial and cultural capital of East Texas, in the piney woods — home of the Tyler Municipal Rose Garden, the largest in the country, and the Azalea Trail each spring. Rates for the cabins are on the booking page. Ask about event bookings on your dates when you reserve.

Tyler Camping RV Park

17 RV Sites, 2 Onsite RV/Trailers, 2 Tiny Houses

Tyler Camping RV Park in Tyler, Texas, offers 19 full-hookup RV sites and two tiny houses 1.5 miles from I-20, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet.

Laundry handles the practical side. Pets are welcome. A community fire pit, playground, and dog park fill the grounds, with picnicking across the wide-open property and planned activities through the season. The pine forest setting gives the Tyler area its green, wooded character — distinctly different from the open plains most visitors picture when they think of Texas. The local attractions are unusually varied for a city this size. Tyler State Park's lake and forest trails are close, along with the Caldwell Zoo, the Tyler Rose Garden, the Discovery Science Place, Miranda Lambert's Pink Pistol, True Vine Brewing Co., and the East Texas State Fair and Santa Land. Wine tasting is nearby. The park serves both I-20 through-travelers and destination visitors. Spring azalea and rose season and the fall fair drive the sharpest demand — reserve ahead for those windows.
