Family Camping within a 2 hour drive of DFW

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?

Thank you for all of the replies. I was also taking a look at Oakdale park in Glenrose. With its historic swimming pool it looks like a good summer spot and would give us the opportunity to check out the area around Fossil Rim. I'd like to check a trip to Fossil Rim in the fall when the weather cools.

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.

Lake Murray State Park, south of Ardmore OK. Nice lake with swimming. Lots of other things to do there also. Check it out.
