Weekend Trip to Camping at Lake Cisco Rentals

We had a great time here. The camp spot was great, level, spacious, bathroom, shower and firewood. Great views of the lake and everyone was very nice. We are going to come back here!

Weekend Trip to Lake Cisco Campground

We loved the quiet secluded area. We were the only ones there last weekend and it was like having our own little oasis. Very close walk to the lake and the zoo both. The hiking and trails leave straight from the campground. We will go back. Very friendly staff and very easy to work with.

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.

Off the beaten path, but enjoyed our stay. Reasonable price, peaceful, cool, and had a nice little hike exploring 😃

Weekend Trip to Lake Cisco Campground

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.

Nice quite place worked great for us on a night stop over while traveling to our final destination.

Weekend Trip to Lake Cisco Campground

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.

1 night at Lake Cisco Campground

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!

Weekend Trip to Lake Cisco Campground

Unique place to discover trails and history. Great way to get out of the city for the weekend. Great hosts.

1 night at Lake Cisco Campground

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.

The campsite is very peaceful. Great location with the Old Zoo Trails located fee outside of the camper. Johnnie was a great host! Would definitely recommend!

1 night at Lake Cisco Campground

The person maintaining the land was friendly and gave me a good run down of everything. Beautiful stars and fun to explore in the morning.

3 nights at Lake Cisco Campground

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.

Weekend Trip to Lake Cisco Campground

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.

Weekend Trip to Lake Cisco Campground

The place was a lot of fun– from the overall vibe, getting to see the night sky and to the campgrounds themselves, everything felt well-maintained and cared for. The vibe was perfect, with a mix of relaxation and adventure in the air. Exploring was a blast! There were hiking trails everywhere, each offering something unique. The abandoned zoo, is an absolute treat. Exploring the old cabins from the 1920s scattered around – is extremely memorable! Each path had something new to uncover, and the whole place was filled with hidden history and surprises. I can’t wait to go back and explore even more!
