Quaint Atmosphere

Very relaxing spot on Lake Bob Sandlin. Having the Marina across the street was very convenient for those last minute forgotten items. Campsite has bathrooms/showers/laundry facilities, however they could use some work. Only downfalls in my opinion is being so close to the road and the WiFi is spotty.

Lots of fun!

Our family of 4 stayed for a month while we were waiting for camper repairs. They have Karaoke across the street every Friday and live music every Saturday. Sites that back right up to great water views and access to fishing. Sandy spots to swim from at various entry points. Friendly people and several kids that run around playing, making friends. We really enjoyed it. Only 4 stars because the bathrooms are dated and sites aren't concrete. The staff really tries to accomodate and take care of the guests. Great place for kayaking.

Beautiful View

A little cramped with the space between campers but the “backyards” for each lake view site makes up for it and it was a beautiful view, lots of space for the kids to play. Really enjoyed our weekend. Nature trail could be better marked haha.

Piney woods camping at its best!

Great camping on Lake Bob Sandlin. Sites or not very level and they have full hookup , but other than that this is a great spot! Located on a point with the marina on the other side of the road! Beautiful sun rise and sunsets. Great for kayaking, fishing and just relaxing on the lake. There is a great hiking trail by the marina!
