ScoutGreat view and large area for kids to play.
Had a fun weekend here with our two kids. Lots of room around this campsite for the kids to ride bikes and play without being in another site. This site is very close to bathrooms and dumpster. The boat ramp dock is just a short walk away. We will definitely stay again.
GuideAlways a hit!
Although this isn’t the cleanest water, it’s a fun time for water craft, fishing and relaxing. This lake is situated in east Texas and is a corp of engineers lake. Every site is a concrete pad with a picnic table and fire ring. Hooks up are water and electricity only, no sewer. Phone service is spotty. Campgrounds are kept clean. Bathhouses are decent. Bring deep woods off to keep the mosquitos at bay!
GuideLove the Pine trees
This park has lots of beautiful pine trees, goes right along with the name. The lake front spots are beautiful, and a lot of the sites further back still have great views of the lake.
