I'm new to the site and appreciate the collective experience.

A few buddies and I are heading out for our annual camping trip this weekend. Over the years we have camped all over the great state. Unfortunately, many of our old stomping grounds now are in earshot of big fancy homes. It’s just not the same.

We are looking to find a place with in 2 hours of Dallas - preferably south or west - such as Possum Kingdom, Dinosaur Valley, etc.

Because we will have some kids with us this time, we prefer to pitch tents in a "primitive drive-up" spot that is secluded yet accessible by car. A lake or nice river view would be preferred. We will also have a few kids-size ATVs so some dirt roads would be fun - my guess is that these are not allowed in State Parks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
