Reviews
"Thousand Star Accommodations! It's a great place to go camping and day hiking, with beautiful views of the lake! The weather was chilly, but we were prepared and there aren't as many people or pests to contend with during the off-season. We opted to go into the neighboring town for dinner, then built a fire in the evening. Reasonable prices, prepaid, helpful reservation staff, and zero hassle from neighbors or park rangers."
"25 min from Dallas what not to love?! We’ve stayed here a few times camping in our trailer. It’s a nice clean park that’s pretty darn big with a big lake, pier fishing, tent and rv camping plus primitive camping sites. Firewood for sale by front office (they could run out if you’re getting there middle of the wknd). Bike friendly and even got to use the “jammock” aka Jeep roof hammock at the lake for the sunset! When booking an rv site some have sewer/full hook ups and some only have water and electric! We were at site 242 in Hog Wallow which does not have sewer but a nice HUGE spot with both hill and lake views. Dump site was very close and very clean. Beautiful go to camping spot near the city with hills and trails and cute little events every month like guided tours, eclipse campfire talk and telescope party, Xmas events, kid stuff, just a bunch of fun cute things. A good amount of rv and camping spots have water views."
"Huge state park. Campground area was nice. Sites were un-level, but spacious. Staff was friendly, self guided tour of Penn Farm at the park was really interesting. Plus it’s so close to anything you could want to do in Dallas."
"Recently they renovated the park and now it's so good. Penn farm trail is full of old stuffs like barn, house, farm machines. Restrooms are clean. Day use area is nearby of lake and view is very beautiful. Also, trails are so beautiful to walk. Such a beautiful park in a very close distance of Dallas."
"Such a beautiful place to go to and experience! The park rangers are so kind and helpful. I always find some wildlife out here, great place to unwind and breath in some fresh air."
