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.

Chigger Hill Ranch

We live on a family owned second, third and working on fourth, generation ranch. We run cattle, sheep and goats and even have a donkey or two at any given time. We also have a few chickens, barn cats and friendly dogs. This is a working ranch, so it is bustling with farm work activities. You can primitive camp in the woods if you want a little less hustle and bustle or by the 20 acre lake if fishing is your passion. We also have a small primitive cabin available by the lake. We also have a canoe and kayak available for rent. You might camp during hay season and you can observe hay cutting, raking, and baling. Or perhaps during pecan season and see pecan harvesting. If you stay during calf weaning season, be prepared to hear lots of mooing and bawling! You can request to add hands on adventures too. Feed Jasper (the head donkey) peppermints, pet the goats and sheep. Feed the chickens, maybe gather eggs. Let us know what you would like to learn about farm/ranch life and we may be able to help you out.

The best camping in Caddo-LBJ National Grasslands, TX guide

Overview

About

Drive an hour north of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex to vast grasslands. These areas offer a variety of recreation, including hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, horseback, riding, and mountain biking. It's easy to imagine thousands of cattle grazing here along these sweeping plains.

Head to Black Creek Lake northwest of Decatur for some great fishing. At 35 acres, this is the largest lake in the grasslands. Cast your line from a boat or the shoreline. Hook some channel cats for a tasty dinner back at your campsite next to the lake.

Plenty of small lakes dot the landscape through these rolling hills. The smallest is one-fourth of an acre. Discover Rhodes Lake and Clear Lake for more fishing opportunities.

Hike through rolling hills and tall grass on 75 miles of trails. Rustic campers can pitch a tent just about anywhere in these grasslands. Check out the seven walk-in units at Black Creek Lake for convenience. None of the sites here have potable water.
