Take a plunge into Grapevine on a camping trip where local libations and aquatic activities abound.
True to its name, Grapevine is well known for its wineries, which lets campers pair an urban wine trail tour with unique camping accommodations in nature. Visit Grapevine Lake, just minutes away from the city center, and get ready to swim, waterski, kayak, and sail on 8,000 acres of fresh water. Find cabin vacation rentals on the shores of Grapevine Lake with AC, linens, and cable TV, or roll into RV parks equipped with full hookups and free wifi. Tent campers can get comfy in shaded campsites with picnic tables, firepits, and restrooms. Cedar Hill State Park is near Grapevine and features historic Penn Farm, Joe Pool Lake, and a large trail network. If hiking is on the agenda, plan to visit in the off-season from September to November, when temperatures have cooled and the skies are driest. Tents and motorhomes are welcome at on-site campsites, which feature full hookups, a dump station, picnic tables, and fire rings.
