Texoma level is fine. A little low just means more beach.
I wouldn't drive 25 miles to boat on Grapevine much less from Kansas (or where ever the op is from). That's a 9k acre lake. Texoma is 89k acres.
There are plenty of places to stay around Texoma. It really depends on what kind of scene and how much you want to spend. I'm not very familiar with lodging on the OK side but as mentioned for a "high end Hotel" set up Tanglewood is nice and in (close) to Highport Marina (nicest on the lake for my money).
As an alternative you can rent "cabins" (trailers) over at Light House Marina and get more of the camp ground feel. Both have launch, fuel and ships store.
I think Soilder Creek (Oklahoma) also has trailers and such for rent.

If I was traveling any distance and spending a couple of nights to a week, then Texoma for sure.
Lewisville is a lot of fun, but there are a lot of idiots in PC, and yes, a lot of cops cruising around, but you will find that almost anywhere. Although the cops are pretty ridiculous at times. Some weekends there are 4-5 boats circling through the cove at the same time.
Lewisville is only a little over 6' down, which is no problem at all. I've been on it when it was closer to 12-14' down and still didn't have any issues.
