From time to time I have to work in our Dallas office which is downtown on McKinney Ave. We stay in Traders Village in Arlington. I find the commute to the office to be tolerable and it would be better now that the big Trinity river bridge construction is complete...but that is during rush hour. You will not need to hit the roads during rush hour to do the Fair. Traders Village has easy access to the George Bush Toll road then up to IH30 then east to Fair Park...I would guess 30 minutes one way. We love the trees and the pool at Traders Village.

We have stayed at both parks on Joe Pool Lake (the state park and the city of Irving park which the name escapes me). They are both nice. I would prefer the commute from Traders Village over the route from Joe Pool Lake.

In my opinion the BEST place in all of DFW is The Vineyards in Grapevine - but it’s too far and lots of highway construction for going to the Fair...but again you would not be driving during rush hour. Don’t take it off the list.

We have not stayed at Treetops in Arlington but we have driven thru and it’s nice - but it’s 15 minutes farther away from Fair Park than Traders Village. The KOA is minutes away from Treetops. For us the KOA is our last choice in DFW based on the week we stayed there in 2015 while I was working in Dallas. The dude across the street sat in his chair smoking and staring at DW all day. Creeped her out. The livers trailers in the back section could use a good pressure wash...they scream “this here is a trailer park”. Treetops has lots of shade which is a plus for TX in October.

There is a place called Sandy Creek north on IH35 at the George Bush tollway. We have never stayed there, just drove by the gate and the curb appeal did not strike us as WOW WE HAVE GOT TO TRY THIS PLACE. It may be fine - I don’t know.

We have never stayed at Lake Lewisville but I think it is a typical Corp park - nice but austere facilities. Haven’t been in DFW since March 2018 but there was lots of interstate construction thru Lewisville then.

We have never been by Plantation Place RV Park. You would have a 30 minute commute to Fair Park and the reviews are good. Traders Village or Plantation would be great choices.
