Best Fishing & Camping Weekend Destinations

A 3 year old doesn't necessarily need to go that far to be satisfied. Lake Grapevine has cabins on the Grapevine side, not far from Main Street. The Vineyards Campground is the one to check out. A camping cabin is a lot easier to get into than a tent.

Glen Rose has Fossil Rim Dinosaur Park Campgrounds.... I don't remember any cabins there, we did tents and there was wildlife and a stream but we didn't fish so I don't know if you can or not there. You can find dinosaur tracks though!

If you want to go a few hours and see some great wildlife and different hills, go to the Ouchita Mountains in Oklahoma.

FYI many of the lakes are down right now, so fishing will likely not be good.

I want to bring my son to Glen Rose. A couple of hours from here there is a state park called Martin Creek. It's really laid back and has a lot of laid back activities. We bring our 1 and 5 year old there all the time.

Eisenhower State Park on Lake Texoma in Denison is really nice. They have great campsites, nice restroom facilities, and it's a beautiful park. They have several different fishing piers, and you can catch catfish, striper, perch, etc. very easily. Denison is about 1.5 hours from Southlake so it's a nice weekend getaway.

My son and I went camping this past Monday at Lake Ray Roberts in Denton area (straight up I-35E). It is $20 a night to camp plus $5 per adult. (I personally didn't pay for the camp so I don't know if you stay the night if you still have to pay the $5 or not.)

It was nice. We stayed in Juniper Cove. If you decide I can send directions.
