1 night at Glamp like a Champ

So amazing! The location, the tent, the comforts of camping. Everything was thought about at this site. There was a pond, an air conditioned tent, a fire pit, a boat, lots of wildlife and MORE! We had the opportunity to add on a s'mores package, a charcuterie board (hands down better than a restaurant board), goat petting, goat milking, feeding chickens, axe throwing, and picking produce from a fresh garden. Me and my girls had so much fun. I highly recommend visiting this location for fun, relaxation, friendly people and wonderful memories! Thank you!!

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

Such a peaceful visit. Rand is always so welcoming. My favorite spot was sitting next to the front pond, under the trees, with a slight breeze. Definitely a do-over!

My stay was truly amazing. Jeffery showed me the ropes around camp, and I can tell you, he has thought of every single thing! I'm so grateful for all the thought put into making me feel like I was being utterly spoiled while campin.

Weekend Trip to Countryside camp

Pretty good spot, easy to access. Lighting on the spot is pretty cool too.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

Awesome spot for a weekend getaway. Peaceful, with plenty of space to explore. The pond was great for swimming, and the kids loved the boats and paddleboards. Perfect mix of fun and relaxing—definitely coming back.

Weekend Trip to Music Springs

We have been here a few times tent camping back in 2020 and we moved away from the area, now we are closer again and plan on spending more time here. We were here for a quick stay for our wedding anniversary and stayed in the Tipi. It was fantastic and the host set us up a snack tray with drinks for the occasion. You can't go wrong staying here in Music Springs.

2 nights at Glamp like a Champ

Really easy to get to, arrived with a warm welcome and a guide around the area and the tent. It was everything we could have asked for. Jeff was literally the best he checked on us and brought us fresh fire wood. He even gave our kids some feed to give to the goats. We were able to take our kids on a paddle boat for the first time on the pond that was by our tent. It was super clean and super homie! Loved every minute!

Weekend Trip to Shiloh on the Lake

shiloh on the lake was great! good access to the lake, a couple of restaurants in the area (had a hard time finding celiac-friendly spots, but "the dock restaurant and bar" was great). there is no wifi though, and both of our phones had a hard time accessing anything that needed the internet without wifi.

Weekend Trip to Heavenly Haven & Hideaways

Great place to camp. Lots of stuff to do around the property. Was not aware you can’t park at your spot for tent camping. I would stay here again when in this area.

Owner was out and about and great about making sure everything was working properly. Also had a thunderstorm the last night and the sand at the site actually held up and packing out was a breeze.

I use HipCamp a lot and this place easily went to the top of my list of favorites!! You can’t find many places where your dog can just run around and safely do whatever they want. But then there was also AC and goats and a gorgeous view of the sunset and stars! And literally everything you could need for comfort and convenience. Towels, lanterns, cooking and eating utensils, wifi, etc, etc! My pup and I were both very happy here and we can’t wait to come back and stay for longer!

1 night at Llama Land Ranch

Good times! A lot of room between campsites, shower and restrooms available. The llama do their llama thing a seem unfazed their human gusts. We'll be back!

We had a great time at Llama Land! Judy was a great host, and the llamas were such a hoot! Shout out to Pumpkin, the cat, too. Will come back and stay longer next time.

Weekend Trip to Heavenly Haven & Hideaways

Our first night camping ever with our new RV! The hosts were so nice and welcoming, gave us boards to help with leveling. Super friendly and helpful, we'd love to come back with the kids since there was a playground and several games available! Super relaxing and peaceful!

Weekend Trip to Llama Land Ranch

The best, we loved everything. Llamas, a cat, stars in the sky. We are very very glad they maintain and share the whole kindness. We will come back!

Weekend Trip to Music Springs

This place is minimalist and exactly what we needed for a good value. Cute & cozy inside with good AC in the summer. The bathroom/showers are outside but easy to get to - just walk across a nicely tended grassy field. There's no sink inside, but there's a common "kitchen" area with microwave and big fridge/freezer. There is a grill & campfire, but I decided to use my own camp stove. We enjoyed the outside games like tetherball, frisbee, and a first attempt at disc golf. We enjoyed the prayer path trail as well. The host was responsive to questions & feedback.

29 nights at Lindale, Coyote Camping/Yurt/Tiny

The space is beautiful and always improving. There is a dog park almost finished, and a beautiful creek at the end of the property along a sandy wooded area that is a bit of a trek through some wetland, but will soon be a nice dry walk. The animals roam freely and the land is bordered by two farmlands with wide pasture and forested hill...and no farmy smells! If youre looking to learn how a homestead can be built, this is the place to come. You can wander the forest, forage for wild edible plants, check out how the spring has been tapped, and soon bathe in spring fed pools! We love it and have been here for three months, planning to stay longer 😀

3 nights at Lindale, Coyote Camping/Yurt/Tiny

Nice place to camp, allot of wood area to explore, goats, chickens, guineas, dogs, geese, and other animals! Nice people. Good Pricing.

2 nights at Llama Land Ranch

We loved staying at Llamaland! The Llamas were so friendly. They walk right up to you. We stayed in their electric with water site. It was a very peaceful 2 days. Hopefully one of these days we can come back.

4 nights at Shiloh on the Lake

It was expensive 79.00 a night. I stayed 5 nights during Memorial weekend. Very nice, shaded RV park, it has a nice fishing pier for people who like to fish.

It is country living but still close to city action. The lower parts of the property require 4-wheel drive, but the top has water and electricity, so any car is fine. As this is an outdoor area, there are bugs and critters. I have never had a problem, but this is notice that you agree to assume all liability and responsibility for your party by camping at this property. NEW: Starlink Satellite Internet!

We love hosting campers and work toward making sure folks feel welcome and comfortable.

The Sniders played an important part in the development of our town, Lucas, and surrounding schools. The rest of the land has been sold to two families, and all three purchasers (that includes us!) are establishing small family farms. Hurray! Plus the Snider's old house and barn next door are being renovated by the new owners! Since 2013, we have brought in water and electricity to the land, built fences, a house and several barns. We have a flock of chickens, a bunch of loud, nosey Nubian dairy goats, 2 cats and 2 dogs. We farm organic vegetables, and have planted some fruit trees.

Camping in Lake Tawakoni State Park guide

Overview

About

A five-mile stretch of Lake Tawakoni shoreline anchors this state park 50 miles east of Dallas, where on-the-water activities take center stage. The 37,879-acre reservoir—a popular spot for high-fin blue catfish and bass fishing—is surrounded by miles of hiking and biking trails winding through the surrounding post oak woodlands. Whether you’re out on the water or firmly on dry land, keep an eye out for some of the park’s 200-plus species of birds and other wildlife.

Notable campgrounds

Best for boating: The Spring Point Camping Loop offers the closest access to the four-lane boat ramp.
Best for spreading out: The White Deer Reach Camping Loop features spacious plots with generous shade.
Best for big groups: The park’s private group camp accommodates 48 people with a large fire ring and six picnic tables.

Tips for snagging a campsite

You can reserve any of the campsites on the Texas State Parks reservations page five months in advance.
Book early for weekend trips, especially during spring and summer when the park often reaches capacity.

When to go

Peak season at Lake Tawakoni runs from March through October, with spring and summer weekends getting particularly busy. Be prepared for high heat and humidity in summer; pack sunscreen and a hat, and remember to stay hydrated. Campgrounds remain open year-round, and things tend to quiet down after Labor Day.
