Summer is just around the corner and many of us are craving lakefront mornings, marshmallow-fueled nights and a campground so nice it feels like a resort.
The 2025 Campspot Awards have arrived, shining a spotlight on the absolute best campgrounds in North America — the kind of places that turn a weekend escape into legendary stories around the campfire. And guess what? One of them is just an hour from Plano: Lake Bonham.
America’s Best Quiet Getaway
Lake Bonham is a 1,020-acre playground for outdoor lovers, tucked away in the Prairies and Lakes Region of northern Texas, just a stone’s throw from the Texas-Oklahoma border in Fannin County.
According to reviews on Campspot (think Yelp for campers), visitors love the friendly staff, range of wildlife and cleanliness throughout the park. Several reviews do mention that reservations and camp spots can go quickly, so be sure to book in advance.
What To Do At Lake Bonham
Whether you’re here to reel in a big catch, take a dip at the public beach or let the kids run wild on the playground, there’s something for everyone. Need a place to crash? Cozy campsites are waiting. Throwing a whole family reunion? Choose between the breezy open-air pavilion or the climate-controlled event center. And for boaters, the double-wide launch ramp means less waiting and more lake time.
“Whether you're looking to get active with biking and hiking trails or relaxing on your site, Lake Bonham is the perfect place for you,” Campspot said of the park.
