Where in the metroplex do you want to be? My recommendation would be TreeTops in Arlington. Just off of I-20, but in a quiet area close to shopping, and about ½ way between Dallas and Fort Worth. Another favorite of ours on the north side is the Corps of Engineers park at Hickory Creek - only draw back is they lock the gate at 10:00 pm and it is a loooong walk to campsites in the dark.

If you need to be near the DFW airport, look at Vineyards at Grapevine - but it is pricey.

Hickory Creek is closed through Oct (flooding). Pilot Knoll (city of Highland Village) west end of Lake Lewisville is open, better call for reservations 940-455-2228. There's also city of Lake Dallas, they have a camp ground, they book it through City Hall.

We really liked Highland Village Pilot Knoll, which is in the 'burbs. City/County campground. Was convenient to shopping, but still felt like we were away from it all.
