Perfect place for privacy and adventure. Cisco lake is within walking distance of your site. There are only two rv sites. How great is that? Johnnie is a wonder host with a lot of knowledge about this area. There is 30-50 amp with water and sewage. You will need a longer hose for the sewage. The old zoo and trails are really fun taking you back in history. When we arrived, Philip another host was there to greet us and show us around if needed. This area is very secluded and woodsy. We love it so much. We are definitely going to try a once a year trip here. I’m not sure what the guy who wrote the review was talking about when he was saying something about buying meth. There was nothing of that nonsense anywhere. We highly suggest if you like privacy and adventure and a nice family town book this place now. They will have a spot for you. Thank you for taking the time to read our review.

I was surprised by how remote this location felt but it was perfect for a one night stop over while driving across Texas. I was the only camper at the time so it was very peaceful. The location was beautiful as the sun set and fun to explore the next morning.

Two other campers in the park while I was there. One was most kind, helping to back in my trailer.
Although there is lots of road noise from the traffic, it was quiet overnight.
A huge rooster stopped by in the morning to make sure I was awake.

Everything was excellent. Really beautiful old home with comfortable beds on a large piece of land that’s easy to lose yourself on (in all the good ways). Owners stopped by to check on us a few times and were super kind. Highly recommend.

We tent camped at Johnnie's campground and had a great time! Very cool historic area with lots of trails in walking distance. Host was very welcoming and helpful, he even gave us some firewood he had. We went due to the proximity to the abandoned zoo trails in Cisco, and found that a very popular disc golf course (#3 in Texas and Top 100 in the world) was about an hour and a half away. Definitely worth the trip from Dallas and would camp here again.

Not too far off freeway but far enough to enjoy tge quiet and the stars. Phil was very nice and helped me find amenities. Very interesting place to stay; enjoyed nature walk in old zoo area and more. Would be happy to stay again if passing your way! Front gate was plenty wide to get through with my big RV but wider is always better ;) Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful perfectly manicured landscaped resort campground. The swimming pool was also at a resort quality level. The campground was hilly making the views breathtaking. Everything was so well maintained and clean. Will definitely recommend FireFly campgrounds to family and friends as well as go back there myself.

Super cool unique spot at the end of a historical dead end road. The history related to the old zoo is cool. If you like exploring abandoned places this should be on your bucket list. RV sites have everything there as advertised.

We had a great getaway here for thanksgiving. Very quiet surrounded by historic ruins of long vacant vacation cabins and the old abandoned zoo. This introduced us to a part of ciscos past that I never knew existed. We stayed in the RV site #2 which had full hookups.

We enjoyed camping on Kegan's remote, interesting land. It was a perfect place for a one night stop. The directions were easy. Wifi worked great. We woke up to about a dozen Turkey roaming around camp!

Beautiful and peaceful location. The river is beautiful and having the bridge right add to the view. It’s very quiet with not many cars going by, so it’s a great place to relax.

Staying at the Lake Cisco Campground was a wonderful experience. We stayed in a tent for 2 days and enjoyed hiking, climbing, and exploring the property and the nearby abandoned zoo. It’s incredible and a bit sad to see what has become of structures that are (in some cases) more than 100 years old.
The host is knowledgeable about the area and very friendly! The co-host, Thor was an exceptionally good boy and treated my brat (the dog I brought) with the patience that she absolutely did not deserve.
We had a wonderful experience and regret that we were unable to stay longer. We definitely plan to return.
