We take our Airstream here 4-5 times a year since it is about an hour from our home. The office is very strict about the 3:00 check in time so do not arrive early.

SMH BUT when we finally did get there the lady that works the entrance booth (Betty ?) was soooo sweet !! I'm just barely getting back into walking and wanted a nice easy "hike" and we found just that! We also found the houses that are all located in one section. Was fun to explore that.

This is probably solvable for most visitors, but still is not a good way to run anything. Setting that aside, it was a nice little space. I came knowing rain was around the corner, but I got in a nice little hike and absorbed some sights. You know it's Texas because there's still cacti embedded amongst the greenery. There weren't any views of the lake immediately available, but it was a decent spot for some peace and quiet.

For this review, I'm going to highlight all the areas where you can park and enter the trail. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Trail, Return) Atmosphere - The trail is a wonderful, well shaded path which is populated with a good mix of cyclists, runners, roller bladers, and even families. It's one of my favorite places in the city, because it takes you away from the concrete jungle and into a lush, green, natural hideaway. 2 Stars. Trail - Here are the trail entrances where you can park your car and enter into Campion Trails starting from North to South. Sam Houston Trail Park - 101 I-635, Irving, TX 75038. This entrance is at 161 and Valley View. It's a good location if you want to start north and go down. Also, it has the only outhouse (that I know of). I've never used it but just know it's there. TW Richardson Grove - 101 Lyndon B Johnson Fwy, Irving, TX 75063. Right off the exit for George Bush Hwy off I635, this area has a covered patio that's perfect for gatherings for picnics and cookouts. La Vallita Park - 1 Camino Rio, Irving, TX 75039. This park is in the La Villita neighborhood. It was two playgrounds for kids, lots of shade from trees, and a covered patio. Rio Vista Park - 2 Barcelona, Irving, TX 75039. Also located in La Villita. This park has a basketball court, playground, and a covered patio with grills. There are no parking lots, but you can park along Barcelona, Campion Trails Park - 5950 Riverside Dr, Irving, TX 75039. This parking lot is next to the Irving Police Station. Needless to say, it's safe to park your car here. Birds Fort Trail Park - 5756 Riverside Dr, Irving, TX 75039. This is the BEST entrance to Campion Trails. Not only is there plenty of parking, but there are several covered patios, and it overlooks the Trinity River. Paws Colinas Dog Park - 1300 California Crossing Rd, Irving, TX 75039. This is a great dog park. It's really not a place to park and enter Campion Trail, just know it connects. California Crossing Park - 5198 Riverside Dr, Irving, TX 75039. This is the end (or beginning) of Campion Trails. Start here if you want to start biking north towards Valley Ranch/Coppell. Let's go! 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I live in La Villita so my entry way is through the two parks. I hope that after reading this review, you'll be inspired to check out one of my favorite trails in all of DFW. 1 Star.

We've done many Girl Scout adventures on this trail and now that the girls are older and no longer Girl Scouts we come here for walks or jogs.

The credit card machine frequently doesn't work, then it would only accept exact change of a five dollar bill, which is never received well by the machine. The amount of times that my family has driven here to try and go to the park only to have to return home because we could not gain entrance. Currently there are FIVE CARS all in line at the entrance trying to get it! The drivers are all out of their vehicles and very frustrated. Also, while there are a porta potties in many places, the only proper bathroom is at the entrance. The women's room door is broken, so you really just go to the restroom with the door wide open! All that to say, this is an amazing park that needs much better maintenance.

Otherwise, we enjoyed our guess-which-way-to-go-hike - spotting some wildflowers (including Green Milkweed, Prairie Verbena, Prickly Pear Cactus Flowers), and wildlife (speckled king snake (these are BEAUTIFUL constrictors which kill venomous snakes) rabbits, and birds) along the way. We came out pretty muddy at the end but that made for a more interesting adventure!! All-in-all, this trail would be more enjoyable in drier conditions when more recently mowed/maintained with the addition of a trail map and/or trail markers.

The trail itself is new, so it is in outstanding condition. It is well marked, and stop lights were added at Hillcrest Road specifically for crossing it while traveling the trail. The trail has two water fountain stations and recycling bins. Dogs are allowed as long as they are on a leash. The end of the trail near Central Expressway heading west slightly climbs for a bit, which is not difficult on bike unless you are a very green beginner, and even then, it is completely doable. The rest of the trail is flat. The neighborhood it passes through is very safe. The trail runs through grass lined with native Texas wildflowers. I even saw a bluebonnet amongst the spring blooms. It was not very crowded the day I used it; I saw a few young moms with strollers, a teen on roller-blades, and few kids walking their dog. There are plans to extend this trail east to join with White Rock Trail, and west to Irving. For now however, it is a pleasant, but short, 2.5 mile jaunt. Perfect for those who are looking for a short excursion or to start a work-out routine. It is also recommended that you tackle Northhaven Trail in your favorite sweats while listening to the theme song from "Rocky", and when you reach the end of the trail, face Preston Road and shout "Adriiiaaan". Yeah, tough guy. That's what I'm talkin' about.
