Waterside Camping

The best lakeside camping in Texas

Name: Texas
Address: Texas
Rating: 4.5665

Lake camping in Texas is a prime solution to those too-hot Southern summers. From a Texas log cabin, RV spot, or pitch-it-yourself tent, you can cool down in any number of the state's lakes. Try a waterside stay in Lake Travis, one of central Texas's more popular vacation spots. Only a short drive outside Austin, it's easy to see why—Lake Travis boasts plenty of fishing, boating, and family-friendly activities. If you're closer to San Antonio, however, you can book an RV campsite near Canyon Lake, which intersects with the Guadalupe River, where you can wrap a long day of swimming with dinner at an outdoor picnic area. But just because summer was made for grilling—not to mention RV road trips—doesn't mean you should overlook the cooler months. Spend a fall weekend roasting s'mores over a sunset campfire, then take in the scent of smoke while counting constellations over the lake. What better way to camp?

Pottsboro, TX · 23 sites · Tents, Lodging

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.

Our campsite #3 has plenty of room for 3 tents and parking for 2 cars with plenty of shade. Restrooms were clean and had an air conditioner a bonus! Carol-anne and Lyn are great host with any questions we had and the homemade sourdough bread is delicious. The river side campsite 1 and 2 were beautiful sites with lots of shade.

Very unique spot. We had a wonderful time exploring and learning the local history provided by Johnnie. We had the place to ourselves and view of the stars was spectacular. It is primitive, but the directions and information provided was very detailed and helpful. The glimpse into the past and staying right in the middle of it was fun. The wooden block table was helpful for using a camp stove and identifying the tent sites.

Staff was stellar and super accommodating, grounds where green and all sites circle the large pond, we saw lots of birds and friendly ducks wandering through sites, even a little gater walking across the street. Bathroom and showers were spacious and clean and there are laundry facilities as well. Also great to have full hookups and not wait in line at a dump station. I was in a trailer but saw tent campers that looked quite happy. I really loved that these are green sites with green grass, not your typical cement parking lot full of rv’s. I will definitely be back!

When we arrived, we realized Forest 1 was too small for our 10-person tent. We called, and they moved us right away to beach 4. We were closer to the river. Everything was really clean and well-maintained. We were in the river from 10 AM until 5:30 PM, minus restroom breaks. The kids had a blast stargazing and at the campfire. We look forward to coming back at some point. As a family with four small children, we found it really comforting to see other families enjoying the spaces as well. When we got back home, we were informed that it was the best camping trip of their lives and asked when we could go back.

We had such a wonderful stay! The grounds were beautifully maintained, the bathrooms were clean, and the cabins were so cozy and comfortable. One of our favorite parts was sitting on the patio, listening to the rain and watching the water. The sunrises and sunsets were absolutely spectacular and honestly made the trip worth it all on their own. We also loved exploring the local town; everyone was incredibly welcoming, and we enjoyed some of the most delicious classic Southern meals. This place was an amazing value for the price, and we’re already looking forward to coming back very soon!

I loved my stay! I was able to take both of my dogs and they loved being able to explore, it’s a very short walk to the water and a good amount of space and privacy, the site next door was empty for the weekend so it felt like we had the area all to ourselves! There is a sink (with potable water) and a porta potty very close as well if you don’t want to go all the way up the hill to the full bathrooms.

I had a beautiful time camping at Boudlerdash! We arrived Friday night, and were greeted warmly by Carol-Anne with a lay of the land and a carton of fresh farm eggs. We drove down to camp site 2, and set up camp right before a massive storm rolled through! Luckily for us, the weather cleared up Saturday and Sunday, and we spent the rest of the long weekend sitting in the river and cooking over the fire. The best part of Boudlerdash is the HOT SHOWER!!! I have never been so spoiled in my camp life. There are also other lovely amenities like the kitchen sink for washing dishes, and the lounge chairs. I will absolutely be back!! Next time, I'm booking both river sites and bringing all my friends haha.

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat

This is my second trip out to SB and we’ve loved it each time. We’ve tried two of the river spots and both sites were wonderful. The bathrooms were cool and clean. Always stocked. The sites are always tidy and so convenient having a dumpster and firewood on site. We can’t wait to come back.

4 nights at Sparrow Bend River Retreat

We really enjoyed our time here! The location was a little difficult to get to with a large RV (narrow residential roads/low trees, etc) but once we actually got settled, the time was well spent. The area was perfect for us and two dogs. It would be a little too close if you had to camp next to people you do not know at slot2, but we booked with our RV friends so it was a perfect set up to visit and relax outside amongst each other. The property and water was BEAUTIFUL! All of the other guests were very friendly and there was a good amount of space between everyone.
