this is Paradise on Lake Texoma

27 sites ¡ Lodging, Tents100 acres ¡ Pottsboro, TX
Paradise on Lake Texoma (formerly Paradise Cove) is a beautiful, secluded commercial campground located in the "Big Mineral Arm'' of Lake Texoma. Built in the 80's by the Corps of Engineers, Paradise has been a mainstay of the lake for many years. Recently, the current management team are working to grow Paradise into something special. With a huge focus on community and culture, Paradise has tons of space for people to come together and enjoy the company and also areas to wander off and find a quiet lakeside spot to relax. You'll also be able to catch one of the best breathtaking sunsets on the lake! The wildlife we have on the property is amazing! I have deer that sleep in my front yard, opossums, 600 bird species, and my favorite… the armadillos! We offer Kayaking on the property for a fee. We have a beautiful Hammock Garden free for guests to kick back and relax. Texoma Water Taxi is a text away to give guests a ride anywhere on the lake including restaurants. Rock-N A Ranch is roughly 20 minutes away and offers horseback riding. The Cabins and Campsites are within walking distance from each other but far enough away to create that illusion of privacy. We do have a neighborhood close by but you can’t see or hear them due to the woods.  In my travels, I try to bring back something I’ve seen or learned to help improve the guest experience and environment. You’ll notice little touches of Asia, Mexico, and even Hill Country Texas! We pride ourselves on our excellent customer service and treat every guest like family. We’re always a text away! You’ll see us out and about on our golf carts. If you ever need anything just holler (: Check-in time is at 3 pm. Our staff works really hard to make sure everything is perfect for your stay and we can’t guarantee it will be if you arrive before then. Parking, we work really hard to keep our property beautiful. Be sure to park in parking areas only.

4R Ranch Winery Campsite

141 sites ¡ RVs, Tents1132 acres ¡ Muenster, TX
Where the short-grass prairie drops into the Red River Valley, the 4R Ranch—with its magnificent vistas and rocky terrain—is perfectly suited for growing grapes. Patriarch W.C. Roper encouraged his family of sixth-generation Texans to share the beauty of this extraordinary place with others; and so it was love of this man and love of the land that inspired 4R Ranch Vineyards & Winery. Chinquapin oaks, white-tailed deer, the endangered black-capped vireo, and the occasional Rio Grande turkey inhabit this incredible property. Powered by sun, earth and wind, 4R Ranch Vineyards & Winery calls us all to slow our pace, enjoy the view, and sip a glass of wine in the magnificent Red River Valley.

The best camping near Eisenhower State Park guide

Overview

About

Along with the best views of Lake Texoma, Eisenhower State Park has everything lakeside campers might need, including miles of hiking and biking trails blooming with Texan wildflowers, rocky shores dotted with lake fossils, and dedicated OHV trails for an extra dose of adrenaline. Getting on the water is a must, whether you bring your own boat, rent a kayak or stand-up paddleboard, or cool off at the swimming cove. Don’t forget your fishing tackle, as the lake is teeming with striped bass, crappie, and catfish. Campers can choose from six campgrounds and a cabin.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for swimming: Elm Point Campground has 13 sites with electric and water hookups, and is closest to the swimming area.
  • Best for fishing: Bois D’Arc Campground boasts a strategic location with access to both the fishing pier and boat ramp. 
  • Best for late arrivals: Overflow Campground has 11 non-reservable sites for tents or RVS.  

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. You can reserve campsites at the park’s five main campgrounds in advance via the Texas State Parks website. Campsites at the Overflow Campground are first-come, first-served.
  2. Campsite reservations open five months in advance. 
  3. Campsites book up fast for summer and holiday weekends—book as early as possible, especially if you have a particular site in mind (such as campsite #179 with its unbeatable lake views).

When to go

Eisenhower State Park is open year-round, but it can get busy anytime from spring through fall. Daytime temperatures can reach over 90°F in summer, so make an early start if you want to hike. It’s sometimes warm enough to swim in late spring, and this is the most scenic time to hike, when wildflowers begin to bloom along the trails. However, April and May are typically the wettest months, so come prepared. 

Know before you go

  • Eisenhower State Park is located 80 miles north of Dallas, or about a 1.5-hour drive away.
  • Park entrance fees are required in addition to camping fees, and general entrance reservations can be made up to one month in advance.
  • Facilities in the park include restrooms, picnic benches, two fishing piers, fish washing stations, and a park store selling souvenirs, firewood, and snacks. You can also purchase groceries and camping supplies in Denison, a 15-minute drive away.
  • You can bring your own boat or watercraft, or rent kayaks, standup paddleboards, or pontoon boats from Eisenhower Yacht Club.
  • Birdwatching is a highlight, so pack your binoculars.
