The Ray Roberts State Park Johnson Branch Unit Campgrounds can actually be broken down into five separate camping areas. These loops are Juniper Cove, Walnut, Oak Point, Dogwood Canyon and Willow Cove. Juniper Cove sites 1-39 are spread out like a pinwheel around the center, which hosts a playground as well as bathroom/shower facilities. Fully hooked up with electricity and water, there’s even a payphone on site should you have an urgent business to attend to. Walnut sites 40-104 have their own little inlet on Ray Roberts Lake. These sites, like Juniper Cove, come with electricity/water hookups and a playgrounds, but sadly no pay phone. Messenger pigeons however, may be rented at park headquarters. Just kidding. Oak Point sites 105-134 are situated on a peninsula (that vaguely resembles an elephant’s trunk), protruding into the lake. This site is literally surrounded by amenities and facilities. These include, but are not limited to chemical toilets (right on site), payphones, picnic tables, playground, amphitheater, boat launch, fish cleaning station and there are also restroom and shower facilities just a short hike away. Dogwood sites 135-154 are pretty bare bones, for tent camping only, and come equipped with nothing aside from chemical toilets. However, these sites are located right on the DORBA Trailhead and provide immediate access to multiple hiking/biking trails. Willow Cove sites 155-165 are the only grounds at this park not located on the narrow lake inlet on which the rest of the sites are located. Situated rather directly on the west coast of Ray Roberts Lake, the sites have lots of room for picnics and other recreational activity. Restrooms as well as showers can also be found nearby.

4R Ranch Winery Campsite

31mi from Johnson Branch Unit Campground · 141 sites · Tents, RVs

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.

this is Paradise on Lake Texoma

30mi from Johnson Branch Unit Campground · 27 sites · Tents, Lodging

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.
