Daingerfield State Park
RV Guide

The Big Pine Campground is the most popular spot with water lovers as it is very close to Daingerfield Lake. This campground boasts ten shaded pull-through sites with full hookups nestled in the tall pine trees. All of the sites are extra-large and can accommodate rigs from 87 to 119 feet. With full utilities, you will be able to cook inside, or you can cook outdoors on the fire ring. There is a picnic table that seats eight people so you can all eat together.

A comfort station with modern restrooms and showers with hot water is located in the campground for your convenience. The Little Pines General Store is within walking distance if you need ice, firewood, snacks, or other items. You can even get souvenirs there. If you need to dump the tank on the RV, there is a dumping station conveniently located right at the front of the campground. Since there are only 10 of these prime sites, book your spot early. And don’t forget to bring the furbaby along.

All 18 of the back-in sites at Dogwood Campground have full utility hookups, so you don’t have to rough it here. The sites are a bit smaller with a 17 to 42-foot length limit on your rig or trailer. The pads are paved and level too, which is a big plus for RVers. Your furbaby can come along but keep him restrained and supervised while you are there. Although this campground is off on its own at the southeastern end of the lake, you’ll be pretty close to your neighbors no matter which site you are at. They are a bit close together with not much privacy.

However, they are all partially shaded, and each one has a lantern pole, a fire ring with a grill, and a picnic table for eight people. Some of the campsites also have a barbecue pit, as well as the fire ring. You’ll be close to the lake at any of these sites, so you can just take one of the paths leading to the water if you want to take a swim or toss in a line. And there are restrooms with running water and hot showers nearby. Be sure to make a reservation, which can be done up to five months in advance.

Just to the northwest of Cedar Ridge Campground in the north end of the park, Mountain View Campground has 12 back-in sites with full hookups. That means you can cook indoors and run the air if you need to. The sites can accommodate rigs from 28 to 45 feet with paved level pads. Reserve your spot early to make sure you get a site that is right for your needs. Each site also has a lantern post, a picnic table, and a fire ring with a grill.

You can bring your pooch with you as long as you supervise and restrain them at all times during your stay. Also, be sure to clean up after them and try not to let them bark nonstop. The Mountain View Trail begins in the parking lot if you want to take a refreshing hike in the woods. Even though it is only about 1.2 miles long, it is considered to be difficult, so make sure you are wearing comfortable and durable walking shoes.

Were you thinking of spending a night or two out in the woods roughing it like you used to do before you got the motorhome? Daingerfield State Park makes it easy for you to do with 18 nicely leveled tent pads that are about 12 x 14 feet at the Cedar Ridge Campground. They also provide potable water, an outdoor barbecue grill, a fire ring, and a lantern hanger. The picnic table seats eight so you don’t have to eat in your camp chair, which can be difficult to do sometimes.

Restrooms with running water are nearby as well as a bathhouse with hot showers. And you’ll be close to the Mountain View Trail if you feel like a hike is in your future. Pets are more than welcome as long as they are kept on a leash no longer than six feet at all times while visiting. Your fur buddy will love the wooded area with all the new and different scents. He can even go on the trails with you. Just keep him on that leash. Make sure you reserve your site early to get a spot.

If you aren’t bringing your furbaby with you, how about leaving the rig in the parking lot and staying in one of Daingerfield State Park’s three historic cabins? There are three to choose from; one can sleep six while the other two sleep four each. The six-person cabin has three bedrooms, a fully furnished kitchen with appliances, a bathroom with a shower, and it even has air conditioning, heat, and a fireplace. The four-person cabins have two bedrooms, a large kitchen with appliances, a bathroom with a shower, heat, and air conditioning. Cabin number three is ADA-accessible throughout.

You’ll be close to the lake at all of these cabins, but cabin three is the closest, just feet from the beautiful Lake Daingerfield. You’ll also be within walking distance to the picnic area, swimming area, and the amphitheater. The playground and interpretive center are not far away either. You can enjoy fishing from the pier or take the boat out from the dock right by the playground. Reservations are needed and can be made up to five months in advance.

Are you planning a family reunion or just have a large group or family? Make a reservation at the Bass Lodge. The lodge can sleep up to 13 people with nine twin beds and two full beds in five bedrooms. You’ll also have two bathrooms, a full kitchen with appliances, and a living room with two couches and a fireplace. The dining table can seat eight with another small add-on table and chairs if needed.

The huge backyard has a deck with a picnic table and a large BBQ grill and smoker. You’ll even have a private path that takes you straight to Lake Daingerfield. The lodge is located near the cabins on the northern side of the lake. The Rustling Leaves Trail will take you to the dining hall, swimming area, playground, and the interpretive center. You’ll need to reserve your spot early and can do so up to a year in advance.
