RV park near Cotton Bowl?

So I have tickets to the annual Red River shootout, which is during the Texas State fair.
Does anyone know what area options exist durning this time and location?

Giving you my tickets is NOT an option :B
  • Being that Fair Park is near downtown Dallas, there are no RV parks very close. Living about 30 miles north, I have never stayed at any in the area. But Cedar Hill mentioned above often gets recommendations.

    Bluebonnet Ridge just east of Terrell and about 20-25 miles east of the Cotton Bowl gets good reviews on rvparkreviews.com. Should be a pretty easy drive on US80 to I-30 to Fair Park from there on a Saturday.
  • Cedar Hills state park is 10 miles from there but the mileage does not matter as the traffic I don t believe there are any areas to camp around I believe you may be able to camp at the fair but not sure
