this is Paradise on Lake Texoma

27 sites ¡ Lodging, Tents100 acres ¡ Pottsboro, TX
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.

Cozy Bell tent located just outside of Trenton on 55 acres of sloping terrain with a wide creek and acreage beyond the Big Oak for exploring. Beautiful sunsets, a clear view of the night sky, a calming creek and an occasional visiting deer make for a relaxing stay. The property is in transition as we are in the process of creating manicured groves and open pasture areas for the enjoyment of our farm animals and guests so expect mud when it rains and an occasional heavy equipment or tractor siting.

If they are not at The PARK at Brushy Creek, we invite you to come see them at the property with the big green gate across the road. There is no electric or wi-fi on property currently. All lighting is solar, or battery powered. There is water spigot at tent site and a Port-o-let near the tent area.

The best camping near Bonham State Park guide

Overview

About

Bonham State Park has 261 acres of sloping hills and lush woodlands to explore, all set around a 65-acre lake. Head down to the water to swim and fish (no permits required), or rent a kayak, canoe, or paddleboat and take in the views from the water. Ffour trails are open to hikers and bikers, including the challenging Bois d'Arc Trail, which links several Civilian Conservation Corps heritage sites. For an overnight stay, pitch your tent or park your RV at Hackberry Hollow Campground, where 21 sites all have easy access to both the trails and the lakeside.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Tent and RV campsites can be booked in advance via the Texas State Parks website. 
  2. Campsites can fill up as fast, and it’s recommended to book at least a month in advance, especially during summer and holiday weekends.
  3. The park’s group campsite can only be booked by phone. 

When to go

Summer (June through August) is the most popular time to visit Bonham State Park and the best time for swimming and water sports, but the small park rarely gets over-crowded. Hiking is possible year-round—visit in springtime when wildflowers blaze across the prairies or in fall, when autumn leaves blanket the forest floor. Trails can get muddy after rainfall, so dress accordingly. 

Know before you go

  • Bonham State Park is located 75 miles northeast of Dallas, or about a 1.5-hour drive away.
  • A daily entrance fee is required in addition to camping fees. 
  • Park facilities include restrooms, picnic areas, and a park store selling souvenirs and snacks. Camping areas also have showers, fire rings, and barbecues. Bring everything else you need with you.
  • The boat ramp allows visitors to bring their own watercraft.
