    Really Nice Cabins

    I have stayed in the cabins here four or five times. The first two years we had smaller groups so we stayed in the A Frame cabins. The last three years we've had their biggest one. There is a creek that runs through it and it is never over populated while I've been here. The cabin we've used was flooded and has not been rebuilt so we are looking for other places to hold our Spring Camp out. I hope they rebuild.

    Martin Dies, Jr. State Park Campground

    Swampy kingdom

    We have passed this place several times on trips to other places and finally decided to check it out the first of Nov. We rented a small rustic shelter / cabin. Essentially a slab walls roof with a heater and ac. It did also have a picnic table inside. It was actually perfect for my family of 3. This park was very quiet and was abundant with wildlife. We seen dear, armadillo, racoon, and a fox all close to our site. There were many trails to hike and the park a tally spans two sides of the highway be sure to explore both. This was a great camp for us and we will definitely visit again.

    Martin Dies, Jr. State Park Campground

    Martin Dies State Park

    This is a huge campground with many sites being on the water and the rest being close to it. If you’re here for boating or fishing, like most people, you can get a campsite near a boat launch. The campgrounds are all very wooded and shady, though some spots don’t feel very private. They have a lot of sites with electricity and there are lots of bathrooms and shower houses. So while it’s crowded and large, it’s well laid out and still feels like you’re really close to nature. They also have a bunch of cabins and screened mini-cabins you can rent to ease the bug situation...which was pretty intense. The mini-cabins were very cute and look relatively new, but we didn’t stay there. You can walk along some trails straight from your campsite. Bring a kayak, canoe, or boat and you’ll have a great weekend here.

    Martin Dies, Jr. State Park Campground

    Enjoyed trees and the gator!

    702 acre park, many sites on slews off a very large lake. We were in spot 308 across from the restroom and showers. Wide view of the water. $16 a night with 2nd night half off with a TX State Park Pass. Power, water, table, fire pit, wood $1 per piece. Parking spot was not level but other spots were. Verizon service was good. Lots of trees in the camp and in the water. Several trails. Our slew was patrolled by an alligator who was awesome to see. They have no problems with their gators.

    Double Lake NF Campground

    Personal opinion for my interests

    Campground not full. Very quiet, sites not on top of each other (some more private than others), gravel pads for rv, tent, table, lantern post and campfire ring. Water & electric or primitive sites both available. My personal agenda is all things nature related. The land, peace, plants, birds, land animals and TREES, water sources and types. To enjoy all the beauty (in all forms) which our earth provides.

    Rayford Crossing RV Resort

    Well Managed and Manicured

    We had to return our travel trailer to the dealership for some warranty work and wanted to have one last little getaway before handing it over. We opted to stay somewhere in the vicinity of the dealership, and this campground had an opening. So, we booked one of the last remaining sites and hit the road!

    Located in a suburban area north of Houston, the campground was very easy to find. It was nestled among nice suburban homes but still close to the amenities of a suburban city. We arrived after the employees left the front desk, so they instructed us to pick up our materials at the front office. We immediately noticed how well maintained this campground was. We easily found Site 21, a standard back in site. The sites are all concrete and level with a yard of grass and full hookups, which we really appreciate. We were surprised that our site didn’t have a picnic table like we thought, but we probably could have called to request one (wasn’t a huge issue in this July Texas heat).

    This campground is more like a residential area. We noticed that many vehicles were gone early on a weekday morning. Many of the “campers” had potted plants and other items that indicated they were long-term occupants. There were many rules for the campground such as no items allowed on the grass or under RVs and no trash cans at sites, but none of these were unreasonable. Staff was visible throughout the day, often maintaining the grounds and collecting trash at each site (trash collection is each morning). It was extremely quiet, clean, and manicured.

    Would we visit this campground again? Yes, if we plan to visit the Houston area for business in the future. We prefer the forest and the solitude that it affords, but this is a nice place to stay if you have business in the area. Rayford Crossing has amenities that may appeal to families with children such as a playground, beautiful pool, hot tub, shuffleboard, horse shoes, and fishing. The nice paved roads and sites and the dog park were nice as well. Our only complaints would be the price and lack of privacy, but I guess that’s to be expected in an RV resort near a major US city like Houston. Basically, it served our purpose.

Located within the Big Thicket ecosystem, cabins in this area typically sit at elevations between 200-300 feet. The area experiences humid subtropical conditions with mild winters and hot summers, creating a camping season that extends year-round with autumn offering the most comfortable temperatures.

What to do

Kayaking on waterways: Double Lake NF Campground offers direct access to a shallow lake perfect for beginners. "Deep in the woods and on a nice shallow lake. Fantastic for walks around the lake, playing in the park, and fun trails," notes one visitor to Double Lake NF Campground.

Fishing opportunities: Multiple fishing spots near cabins allow for both bank and boat fishing. "We biked here in an hour or so from Houston. Beautiful little lake, relaxing hiking and clean sites. It isn't first come first serve and there was no one here. Quite a bit of wildlife and pretty good fishing," shares a camper who visited Lake Houston Wilderness Park.

Hiking through diverse ecosystems: Trails range from short family walks to longer hikes through pine forests. "Lots to explore, neat bridges, cabin options, ranger programs, horse trails, kayaking, wildlife. Modern recently updated facilities. Great park staff and everyone real friendly," according to a Lake Houston Wilderness Park visitor.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Several cabins offer secluded settings away from other campers. At Village Creek State Park Campground, visitors appreciate that "The RV sites are mostly level on asphalt pads. There is a lot of shade. However, the sites are kinda close together. But... there are trees and shrubs between most of the sites."

Wildlife viewing: The region supports diverse wildlife visible from cabin porches and nearby trails. A Martin Dies visitor reports, "We tented here on a rainy weekend unfortunately. It was a nice site right near the water, and we saw a lot of wildlife like an armadillo, raccoon, and deer."

Lake views: Several cabins offer water views or waterfront access. At On The Lake RV Resort, campers enjoy "Beautiful lake views with sunsets for dayyyys! The on-site restaurant had good cocktails and great food. We went during the winter (November, right before Thanksgiving), so didnt do any of the swimming/water activities."

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Summer brings high humidity and insects while winter offers mild temperatures. A visitor to Martin Dies, Jr. State Park Campground cautions, "We tented here on a rainy weekend unfortunately... We got out for a little bit to go for a walk and went to some of the trails which were scenic but super buggy. Bring spray and citronella candles!"

Cabin furnishing variations: Cabins range from rustic to modern with varied amenities. "This KOA Holiday was a good place for a weekend camping outing. It's right on Lake Livingston, so many sites have lake views. The sites are very close together, typical KOA style," notes a visitor to On The Lake RV Resort.
