This was a wonderful find!!! Sam and Sarah were able to get us in for our last minute trip. We arrived on Christmas Day and they took the time out their day to greet us and bring us homemade peanut brittle. The location is a quick drive to Fort Worth but was far enough out of town that we didn’t have to deal with Texas traffic with our camper. We can’t wait to come back!!

At the base of this lake stretches LLELA Nature Preserve, a green space featuring historic sites that can be viewed via a visitor center, walking trails, and kayaking.

When to go

The best time to visit Richardson, Texas is in the spring and fall. Specifically, September and November have the best temperatures without having the crowds of summer, so you can enjoy more access to camping sites, beaches, and other amenities.

In Texas state parks, camping is only allowed at designated camping spots, and camping in public spaces is prohibited.
Texas is prone to burn bans, especially in the summer, so check to see if a campfire is allowed before you light up.
