• Answer:

  We like to camp at Loyd Park on Joe Pool Lake in Grand Prairie. Take 360 South - - turn left at Ragland Road - - turn right at Park Road 1. The campgrounds at Loyd Park are well maintained and the park is a nice place to camp. With 221 sites there are a wide variety of sites to choose from. There are sites that are right on the shore of Joe Pool Lake, others that are away from the water, some in nicely shaded alcoves of vegetation, and a few sites that are relatively unshaded and out in the open. Sites are $15 per night, which is in addition to the per vehicle entry fee. Reservations can be made by calling the park at 817-467-2104. It's a good idea to make reservations during the busy summer season, especially on weekends. Camping reservations are required on holidays. Each site has water, electricity, a covered picnic table, and a concrete parking pad. Up to eight people and two vehicles are allowed at a campsite. There is also a limit of 2 tents or 1 camper and 1 tent per site. Fire rings are provided at many sites and bundles of firewood can be purchased at the park entrance. Check out time is 2 p.m. and quiet hours begin at 10 p.m. The restrooms have showers with hot water There are 8 cabins for rent in a public park on Joe Pool Lake in Loyd Park. The cabins are a great option for anyone who does not have an RV or a tent but does want to stay overnight at Joe Pool Lake. Loyd Park's cabins are found near the park's swimming beach, are relatively new, and have a lot of nice features. One cabin is ADA accessible and sleeps four people. The remaining cabins sleep 6 people. Four one bedroom cabins have a queen size bed, a bunk-bed niche and a pull out couch. Three cabins have two bedrooms. Prices range from $100 to $150 dollars a night, plus tax. The fee depends on what cabin is being rented and the date you want to stay. The entry fee for one vehicle is waived with each cabin rental. You can call 817-467-2104 to make a reservation or to ask questions you may have about staying in a cabin. All of the cabins have electricity, running water, central heat/air conditioning, a bathroom with shower, a stove, an oven, a refrigerator, a sink, satellite TV, kitchen utensils, a dinette, linens, and towels. There is also an outdoor barbeque grill, a fire ring (the park sells bundles of wood at the entry gate), and a covered picnic table.
