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.

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.

In the early 1900’s an iconic red barn was built near the hilltop along the road between the old Mt. Zion community and Collinsville. Later in the 1900’s, the land was mostly abandoned by its owners, but not by the local fishermen! They knew its woodland fishing pond never dried up, and so was able to support a better population of fish. They also dumped a cornucopia of old motorcycles, cars and farm equipment in the front field. What else were you supposed to do with scrap metal in North Texas horse country? In 2002 the Holtzman family purchased the 35 acre tract of land. They dug a front pond for swimming and paddling, buried the scrap metal (although occasional bits of history still work their way up!), restored and brought horses back to the barn, and began consulting with local biologists about supporting native wildlife. April Holtzman launched Camp Tonkawa Outdoor Learning Center on the property to provide a beautiful, safe place for families to explore and learn about nature. Camp Tonkawa continues to host overnight and day camps with educational programing organized around various themes including: Native American culture, nature awareness, basic camping skills, primitive survival, organic gardening, herbology, outdoor cooking, western days, and horsemanship. We also host field trips and frequently conduct Girl Scout journeys for all levels in the "It's Your Planet, Love it!" series. Due to Covid-19, which limited working with groups for our educational programing, we joined Hip Camp where families who could isolate in nature together on our property.

Lake Murray State Park camping guide

Overview

About

With 12,500 acres of waters, sandy beaches, and forested shores, Lake Murray State Park provides the perfect mix of Mother Nature and manmade pleasures. The 5,700-acre lake takes center stage, where there’s ample space to swim, sail, fish, and paddle. More than 30 miles of trails tempt hikers and bikers away from the water, while thrill-seekers can kick up some dirt in the huge ATV park. Add to that an 18-hole golf course, tennis and volleyball courts, trail rides, hayrides, and miniature golf. Campers are spoiled for choice, too, with nine campgrounds, cabins, and a luxury lodge. 

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for RV campers: Elephant Rock Campground has 68 concrete sites, 45 with full hookups, and some right by the lakeside.
  • Best for backcountry campers: Ski Jump Campground has primitive tent/RV sites with basic facilities and pit toilets, and access to the lake for fishing and kayaking.
  • Best for adrenaline junkies: ATV Campground has inland RV and tent sites with direct access to the ATV terrain.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. You can reserve one of the 321 RV sites and 165 tent sites at Lake Murray’s nine campgrounds online. All campsites must be booked in advance. 
  2. Campsite reservations open 11 months in advance and can be booked up to the day before arrival.
  3. Campsites can book up as fast, especially on summer and holiday weekends. Book a minimum of three months in advance to avoid disappointment.

When to go

Pink and blue wildflowers blanket the shores of Lake Murray through spring and summer, and with daytime temperatures hovering around 95°F, the lake provides welcome relief from the heat. Hiking and outdoor activities are possible year-round, weather depending, and lower off-season rates make this prime time for budget campers. Camping is possible year-round, although campgrounds close during the low season, so check ahead. 

Know before you go

  • Lake Murray State Park is eight miles south of Ardmore, about a 10-minute drive away. Scenic State Highway 77 loops around the park. 
  • There is a per-vehicle admission fee to enter the park. Camping reservation fees, ATV permits, and fishing permits are also required.
  • Facilities in the park include a restaurant and camp store, boat ramps and fishing piers, and several picnic areas with restrooms and playgrounds.
  • There are accessible campgrounds, picnic areas, and restrooms at Lake Murray. The lodge, marina, and golf course are also accessible.
