Discover Lake Bardwell RV rentals for memorable road trips

Lake Bardwell is located in northeastern Texas, near the city of Ennis, just south of Dallas and Fort Worth. Lake Bardwell was constructed in the early ’60s by damming the river through the Waxahachie Creek and has continued to provide flood protection for Ellis County and the surrounding area ever since. A combination of Lake Bardwell’s relative closeness to such large cities and its excellent recreational opportunities make it the perfect place to take an RV rental. Access to Lake Bardwell with a rental RV is made even easier with both Interstate 35E and Interstate 45 running alongside the lake. Many campgrounds can be found throughout the county, making camping with an RV here simple.

The RV trailer was spotless, beautifully maintained, and fully stocked with everything we needed — from kitchen essentials to cozy linens and even s'mores supplies!
