In the heart of the prairie and lake-area of northeastern Texas, Emory offers visitors a unique glimpse of rural Texas life. Just a short drive from Dallas, the natural playground of northeast Texas awaits, and Emory serves as a wonderful home base for when you rent an RV. Emory is nestled in between two large lakes, Lake Tawakoni and Lake Fork. This helps create the effortless “lake life” vibe that much of northern Texas strives for. If you enjoy spending hours on the water or just taking a stroll around the lakeshore, then a journey around the area with a camper rental from Emory may be just what you need.
When you book an RV in Rains County, you open yourself up to a world of lakes, forests, and prairies. You will be able to explore many of Texas’ unique characteristics as well as experience, first-hand, that world-famous Southern hospitality.
Just a quick drive to the west is the Lake Tawakoni State Park near Quinlan, Texas. At Lake Tawakoni, not only will you be able to enjoy the massive lake and miles of lakeshore, but you will also be able to enjoy the hundreds of acres of surrounding oak forest. You can head out on a trail that leads you along a small peninsula jutting into the lake, or instead, travel deeper into the surrounding forest. Or maybe you’d rather beat the summer heat and go for a swim in the lake or sunbathe on the sandy shores. No matter what you want to do with your day, Lake Tawakoni won’t disappoint.
Just a short drive south of Emory and a perfect day trip is Purtis Creek State Park near Mabank, Texas. The big draw to Purtis Creek is the lake that is fed by Purtis Creek. Here, you can canoe, kayak, and fish to your heart’s content. You will be able to live that North Texas lake life that so many people dream of. If you ever tire of the lake, you can take a break and head out on one of the trails that lead into the surrounding forest.
If you’ve seen enough lakes and need a change of scenery, then head north toward the Oklahoma border for a day trip to the Caddo National Grassland near Paris, Texas. At Caddo, you can immerse yourself in one of the southern reaches of the Great Plains. What makes Caddo unique is that it is right where the forests give way to the grasslands, helping to create stunning landscapes and very unique environments. So you can retreat to the shaded trails of the forests for the warmer months and enjoy the open, grassy plains in the cooler months. Not only that, but the spring wildflowers at Caddo are some of the most spectacular in all of North Texas.
When traveling across the Lone Star State with your Emory RV rental by owner, be sure to secure an RV site or campsite so you can recharge your batteries. Luckily enough, there are a few places around Emory worth considering.
Along the northern shores of Lake Fork is the North Shore Landing RV Park. At North Shore Landing, guests will have access to showers and laundry facilities. Guests will also be able to make use of the on-site fishing pond.
On the eastern shores of Lake Tawakoni, you can find the Lake Tawakoni RV Campground. At Lake Tawakoni, guests will have access to full hookups as well as water/electric hookups, restroom and shower facilities, and laundry facilities. Guests will also be able to go fishing in Lake Tawakoni or swim in the pool.
After you’ve explored the prairies and enjoyed living life by the lakeside in your Emory RV rental by owner, take a moment to explore the local community. You are sure to find many Texas treasures around the northern reaches of the state.
If you’re looking for something incredibly unique to experience, then plan a visit to the Grand Saline Salt Palace. You can visit a building that is made purely from the salt that has been extracted from the area. You can also learn all about the geologic history that created this strange environment of salty mines and plains.
A little way south of Emory is the East Texas Zoo and Gator Park. Here, you can become familiar with kangaroos, llamas, chameleons, and, of course, alligators. You’ll enjoy this afternoon out as you learn about some of the various animals that inhabit not only the local area but the world.
If you’d like to see Texas from a different angle, then consider booking a helicopter tour. You’ll be able to see beautiful Texas sunsets, sweeping prairie, or whatever else you may want on your private helicopter tour.
After your days of adventuring in the Lone Star State, be sure to refuel with a hearty meal. What better way to eat in Texas than to eat like a Texan? Sit down to a plate piled high with slow roasted brisket, pulled pork, or smoked chicken. No matter which you choose, you are sure to enjoy it. When you inevitably find yourself needing to restock and refuel your RV rental in Emory, you will be pleased to learn there are plenty of options in town to choose from.
