    Mission Dolores RV Park & Campground

    Modern and Clean

    It is so quiet and peaceful here. We came on a weekday, and the campground was not even half occupied. The grounds are neat, well-maintained, and clean. The sites are adequately spaced, but there is very little vegetation to provide privacy. The restrooms and showers are modern, clean, and in great working order.

    There is a recently renovated historical museum across the street with very friendly staff. The short walking trail includes a beautiful wildflower garden and kiosks with historical information. There is also an onsite disc course!

    This campground is a hidden gem!

    Peaceful

    Many open spots. Beautiful and quiet. Our GPS put us on a dirt road for a few miles - however it was well maintained and not too rutted. Large camping spot with fire ring. Clean area. Definitely a gem in the trees.

    Great spot

    Really nice campground, surprisingly crowded on a nice weekend in February! Had a family next to us whose kids were antagonizing our dogs with no intervention from the adults which was really frustrating. But would be lovely on a quieter weekend.

    Rayburn

    Off season is the move

    My friends and family decided to book this place in late January. We say exactly 3 other people for the entire duration of our 3 day stay.

    The sunrise and sunset are some of the best I’ve seen and the water though cold is beautiful and the sounds of loons, mourning doves, and coyotes hand in the air through the day and night.

    This camp is quite deep in the middle of nowhere and I could t find any established hiking paths near by but I perhaps could have missed them.

    Park host is super vigilant so if you feel like getting into some trouble, I’d look for another campsite instead of this one.

    Excellent & Gorgeous

    Would be 5 stars except it's close enough to the road that you get traffic noise. I camped early January and was the only tent camper, quite enjoyable. Very pretty lake view and sunsets and sunrise are delightful. Showers are warm, not the hottest, but welcome nontheless.

    The campground caretakers are fantastic! The grounds are consistently well-maintained, with neatly mowed lawns and cleared pine needles. I love the spacious layout of the campsites, and the view of the Rayburn sunset is simply unmatched! Big Shot Boxing

    Beautiful Lost Frontier RV Park and Grill

    Incomparable beauty located on a tranquil harbor off of Toledo Bend Reservoir, one of the top 5 bass fishing lakes in the US.  Cabins and lakeview RV sites on a bay surrounded by beautiful unscarred National Forest.  A wildly popular restaurant and grill offering live entertainment every weekend.  Kids love the swimming pool and splash deck and nearby jungle gym.

    Valentine Lake Wild Azalea Trail

    Spent a ton of time out at Valentine lake.

    This a a cool place to spend a weekend. There is both primitive and fixed campsites.you have a couple Small trails in and around Valentine lake, or you caan hop on wild azeala trail and hike it. Its just short of 18 miles start to finish. Wouldn't recommend swimming in that lake. Lots of Gators and big snapping turtles. . Great fishing tho.. for me i enjoy middle to late October when it's cooler for sleeping in teepee hot tent..

    Great Primitive Camping

    Great water front sites at $10 a night is not bad!!! There is no power or water a sites but has community water faucets in a few areas... The bathouse is real nice... But the canoeing is wonderful there... Very peaceful & quiet during the week but gets a little noisy on the weekends & holidays... No Julios either which is a big plus!!!

    Hunters Camp - Calcasieu Ranger District

    Can't beat free

    The Hunter Camp is situated just off range road. You're surrounded by wilderness. The only amenities are a vault toilet. Fort Polk is close enough for supplies, check your gate schedules. Marines were utilizing the ranges in the area, and a couple officers came though the hunter camp just exploring.

    Theres a hiking trail near by, stating no motorized vehicles, but you can mountain bike, hike and ride horses. No fishing near by unless you drive to the blue hole complex further down range road.

    Apparently they're allowing logging around the camp, so do a check before you go set up.

    Big rig friendly

    Nice large pull through sites with easy hook ups. We stayed here for 4 days due to proximity to Kisatchie National Forest for the Red Dirt Ultra. We liked having laundry on site, clean and affordable. Our kids loved our long horn neighbors! Many residents here but not at all over whelming and everyone was very nice. Had a small pool but it was not open during our visit.

    COE Sam Rayburn Reservoir San Augustine Park

    Clean, quiet, spacious, and great lake views

    1/26/23-1/30/23- This is a great COE campsite that is spacious, clean, quiet, and site#63 has lake views on 3 sides. A picnic table, fire-pit, lantern post, 30A electric, and water are provided. This is a back-in site that slopes significantly to the rear(lake side) though. I needed to lower the front of my 34’ fifth wheel trailer 16” to level it; L/R leveling was reasonable needing 1/2” on the right side. The grassy area around the site would be great for outdoor games and the water access would be great to fish from shore, boat access to the site, or swimming. The staff were very congenial and the dump station is conveniently located on the right side just before exiting the campground. Verizon 4G was 4-bars with 20Mbps download and 2Mbps upload speeds. I paid$13/night with my Interagency Senior Pass. Too bad that it was rainy most of the weekend and we didn’t have nicer weather.

    Peace and quiet

    Cabins are beautiful. Animals were awesome. They had exotic waterfowl, emus, cows, peacocks, donkeys, miniature horses, and more. The place was so peaceful and quiet. The staff were really friendly and helpful. There’s a small gift shop that has all that you need if you left something. They do have a restaurant on sight. There’s also a water park right next door.
