Some of the campsites are developed and modern, offering a tent pad, running water nearby, a picnic table, fire ring, and accessible restrooms. Or, you can choose a remote camping experience if you prefer something that is a little more private and secluded.

If you are in the area for horseback riding, consider booking a campsite at the Isle du Bois equestrian area, where you can find hitching/tethering poles for your animals. These sites are perfect if you want a quiet place to relax between your daily rides.

Your guests will love the beauty of the surrounding area, and it is a great location if you want to enjoy the outdoor experience without sacrificing some of the modern amenities such as nearby restrooms, running water, and electricity.

Isle Du Bois vs Johnson Branch

Camping at Isle Du Bois and the Johnson Branch Units are very similar.  The parks themselves are almost mirrors of each other.  They both have well over one hundred campsites available many of which have water and electric hookups.  The major difference is the Isle Du Bois Unit tends to be a bit more crowded because it is on the south side of the lake and closer to Dallas-Fort Worth.  The Isle Du Bois is also slightly nicer with a huge fishing pier and a very slightly nicer beach area.  In general, the camping at both tends to be very shaded with plenty of trees and plenty of lakeside campsites.

Lake Ray Roberts camping is great for people who want to enjoy a campsite for a day, or you can plan a longer stay to enjoy a vacation with your family. The accessibility of the location makes it perfect for anyone that wants to make a quick trip, and at the same time it is also very comfortable to stay for a few days at a time.
