Lavonia park on Lavon Lake near Wylie, TX is such a beautiful park, and a perfect location for those wishing to stay in the north-east Dallas area. The lake is beautiful. The park is an oasis of (fairly) quiet calm at the edge of an urban environment. The camp hosts are polite and courteous, and handle the opening and closing of gates and the answering of questions, but have no authority to make decisions. Cell phone service is fine, as are the roads into the park.
However there are maintenance issues, as the Corps no doubt knows. No doubt funding is an understandable contributing cause.
So, lots of potential for a beautiful park, but the park needs more TLC, but the TLC probably means more $$$.

Would’ve been 5 stars but the power to Lot 29 kept going out. We stayed for 3 days(2nights) and it was quite difficult without electricity to set up but other than that the stay was amazing.

We used to enjoy this park but it is not being taken care of. It is completely overgrown and infested with ants. The tall grass is a perfect place for all the chiggers and mosquitos. I quit counting the bites because I had so many. The roads are full of potholes and completely unmanaged. I would choose a completely different park.

Front gate office is closed for repairs, open gate during daylight hours with no one monitoring traffic in and out of the park. No phone numbers listed to call for assistance. Very little communication between park host's (if you can find one) so resolving issues may take days or not resolved at all. Many sites with electrical or water not working so those sites remain closed. Grounds not being kept, grass hasn't been mowed for weeks. I've been camping here for the past 10 years. This is the worst I've experienced. I hope management of the park gets better.
