ScoutMid-size oak trees all over, starlink internet is ok, very quiet and not crowded. Our electric power was very poor, and the roads are busted up asphalt for the most part. Forget fishing unless you have a boat. We would come again
RangerLike most of our stops, we only spent one night here, but it was a really nice campground. The sites are large, and being right by the water makes the whole place feel peaceful and relaxing. A big plus was the covered picnic tables and benches at each site, which made it much more comfortable to eat outside without sitting in the direct sun. The only small downside was the bathhouse. It was nice to have your own private bathroom with both a toilet and a shower, but the shower only produced a small stream of water with fairly low pressure. Upgrading the showerheads would definitely improve the experience. It's also worth knowing that you can't access the campground after 10 PM, apparently not even with an access code. Other than those minor issues, this is a really beautiful campground and a great place to stay.
ScoutThis location is great! Directly across from a bait shop, store, restaurant and bar. Super nice staff! Definitely recommend for a relaxing getaway!
GuideWe showed up around 8:00 and got the 1 tent site with no water or no electricity. It was $28 to stay here. The men’s room was locked for some reason and the interstate nearby is pretty loud. It’s a convenient and safe place to stay for the night while we drive down i20.
GuideWe only stayed one night at a pull-thru site but the campground was clean and we really appreciated the nice fully grassed dog park for our pups to run around.
TravelerGreat environment & friendly staff. My only complaint is rowdy neighbors almost fist fighting drunk a site over. Children were present and foul language was being used and foul music was being played. I am young only 28 and the music was not family friendly. I have no kids but others nearby did. Other than the certain members on that site everything was great.
TravelerWas going to reserve. However, they do not allow pets!
GuideI stayed 12 days, running back and forth to visit friends in Dallas. There's a fair amount of trash around, but the campground's relaxing, free, with no hassles, and right on the lake. Sites aren't marked and the campground can fit maybe six or eight camps. There's a nice little town just a few miles away with a Walmart etc. (Mineola TX)
GuideI stayed for 12 days, running back and forth to visit folks in Dallas. Loved being 15 ft from the water's edge. Some train and traffic noise. Fair amount of trash around, but it's a free, relaxing place to camp, No hassles, close to a nice little town with a Walmart (Mineola TX).
