Family Camping within a 2 hour drive of DFW

Question

I'm looking to pull out the popup and go camping for 3 days before the fall semester starts. We live in Arlington just outside of Fort Worth, TX. I'd like to find a camp ground no more than 2 hour drive. I'd like a place with a pool or lake and some activities for my 13 year old and 3 year old daughters. I've been considering Jellystone Park in Burleson and the Vineyards in Grapevine.

Any suggestions?

of the 2 you mentioned I think the Burleson location would be better. They have a water park.  Their website lists all the activities. Probably more expensive than Grapevine.
