Most families, couples, and groups choose Mill Creek Ranch Resort for a well-deserved getaway because of our scenic, secluded, and amenity-filled location. It also doesn’t hurt that we’re only 42 minutes from Dallas, and we offer free shuttles to the First Monday in Canton Trade Days! But what you might not know about Canton, TX, is that our tranquil slice of East Texas has a wide variety of family-friendly attractions ranging from an exciting waterpark to a seasonal farm filled with thrilling rides and a petting zoo. Narrowing down your list of potential family vacations in Texas just got a whole lot easier, because it’s seemingly impossible to top Mill Creek Ranch Resort’s on-site amenities, RV sites, and proximity to the top things to do in Canton, TX.
Splash Kingdom
The Splash Kingdom is arguably the most popular attraction in Canton, TX, during the summer months primarily because of the park’s seemingly neverending water activities. With over a dozen lightning-fast slides, mat racers, a surf simulator, a lazy river, and a 350,000-gallon wave pool, you’ll have no problem entertaining the kids this summer! Cabana rentals, tasty pizza, ice cream, juicy burgers, and so much more are available for purchase when you’re not soaking, splashing, and sliding inside this ever-popular summer park. For those who just cannot get enough water excitement, we have two designer swimming pools, a soothing hot tub, free paddleboat rentals, and unlimited catch-and-release fishing right here at Mill Creek Ranch Resort.
Van Zandt Country Club
A large portion of the population here at Mill Creek Ranch Resort spend several days at Van Zandt Country Club during spring, summer, and autumn. Not only is this quiet, beautiful country club less than two miles from our Canton, TX, lodging, but their pace of play and low rates simply cannot be outdone. This par-72 course is highlighted by serene ponds, Bermuda greens, and tall, lush forestry. After 18 holes, remember to grab lunch or dinner at The Bunker – their chicken fried steak, buffalo shrimp, and shrimp po’ boy are delicious. Most family vacations in Texas should include at least one outdoor activity, and a round of golf is an excellent place to start!
YesterLand Farm
If you’re planning on visiting us around Easter, Christmas, Halloween, or autumn, we highly recommend visiting the seasonal YesterLand Farm right here in Canton, TX. Children and adults alike cannot resist the allure of a holiday-themed festival on an expansive farm filled with the sounds of laughter, music, and carnival rides. Depending on when you arrive, the family can pick pumpkins, search for eggs, select a Christmas tree, or brave the ghouls at Fright Farm.
