Best Cabin Camping near Daingerfield, TX

Rustic log cabins provide shelter among the pine trees at state parks near Daingerfield, Texas. Daingerfield State Park offers cabin lodging with modern amenities including air conditioning, mini refrigerators, and microwave ovens. Similar accommodations can be found at nearby Tyler State Park, Lake Bob Sandlin State Park, and Caddo Lake State Park. Cabins typically feature queen-sized beds, wooden tables with chairs, and picnic tables outside. Most park cabins have access to centralized bathroom facilities rather than private bathrooms. Some locations offer fire pits with cooking grates for outdoor meal preparation. "It being August in Texas, we rented a limited use cabin with air conditioning. It also has a mini frig and a microwave inside. It has a queen size bed for which campers need to bring their own pillows and bed linens. The frig was super cold, and the AC worked well."

KOA-style cabins are available at Mount Pleasant KOA, offering standardized accommodations with reliable amenities. The cabins at Lake Bob Sandlin feature bunk beds, making them popular for families with children. One visitor noted, "We loved fishing and hiking throughout the park but our kids loved the double bunks in our cabin." Reservations are essential, particularly during summer months when occupancy rates peak. Most state park cabins require advance booking through the Texas Parks and Wildlife reservation system. Pet policies vary by location, with many cabins prohibiting pets entirely. Daingerfield State Park and Tyler State Park enforce no-pet policies at their cabin sites, while some private RV parks like Hope Springs RV Campground offer pet-friendly cabin options.

Bedding requirements vary across cabin rentals. State park cabins typically provide bed frames and mattresses but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and blankets. Brookshire's grocery store, located a few miles from Daingerfield State Park, offers supplies for cabin stays. According to one visitor, "The table was really sticky, so I recommend bringing something you can use as a table cloth." While some cabins include basic kitchenware, many guests bring their own cooking utensils, plates, and cups. Cabins with refrigerators and microwaves allow for basic food storage and preparation, though most outdoor cooking occurs at fire rings. Firewood is available for purchase at most parks or nearby gas stations, with prices typically ranging from $5-10 per bundle.

    Tyler State Park Campground

    Lots to do!

    It being August in Texas, we rented a limited use cabin with air conditioning. It also has a mini frig and a microwave inside. It has a queen size bed for which campers need to bring their own pillows and bed linens. The frig was super cold, and the AC worked well. There was a wood table with four chairs. The table was really sticky, so I recommend bringing something you can use as a table cloth. There are only six of these cabins, and they have a four bathroom building at the end of the cul de sac. No tents or pets are allowed at the cabin sites. Each has fire pit and water outside cabin

    The park has a very small lake with canoe, kayak, paddle board, row boat, and paddle boat rentals. Life vests are provided with rental. It was fun! There is a good sized swimming area too. There are a number of trails of varying difficulty, some for hiking only, some for home and bike. Ranger programs offered.

    Site 8 had an extreme amount of above ground roots causing tripping hazard

    Picnic table approx 50 feet from Site 8 parking pad

    Highway and train noise

    BIG PINE sites barely off campground road, so therefore no privacy from campers across the road

    Nice place to get outdoors for a few days

    This is kind of a homey/tourist sort of campground and park. There's kayak rentals available as well as boats. Campsites are available as well as small cabins. You can also rent bikes and other things. If you're looking for a "resort" style camping experience this may be for you.

    Tyler State Park Campground

    Great camping 2 hours from Dallas

    I visited the Shortleaf camping area in the Tyler State Park for the weekend to participate in a 50k trail race. Each campsite in this area has a sheltered cabin, picnic table, fire pit and 2 parking spots. Tent camping is also permitted on the site but I used my iKamper Roof Top Tent as my primary place to sleep. The sheltered cabin has screens on the windows to keep the bugs out and electricity. I used this area primarily for storage of the food & gear that I used during the weekend. My campsite was located at the bottom of a hill and had a path to the restrooms and showers. These facilities were very clean and had 2 shower stalls and 3 toilet stalls along with 2 sinks. This location had access to the lake via a short hike. This type of camp site is the best of both worlds, you can camp via tent/car and still have a cabin like experience via the sheltered cabin. 

    In September it is still pretty warm in Tyler, humidity was 100% when I visited without rain. I'll visit again in October when the cooler temps arrive and undoubtable have an even better experience.

    No fee to reserve online. 

    No sales tax. U

    pon arriving at Site 23, we had no power at the pedestal. Called Park Headquarters and 2 park personnel were at our site in 10 minutes and resolved problem

    No overnight security gate closure 

    Site 23 was 1/3 covered with poison oak and remaining living area covered with tall weeds. 

    Some highway noises. 

    Two PARK HOSTS occupy sites in Woodpecker Hollow. That reduces full hook up sites to 6. One of those sites were used as a temporary dump station due to out-of-service park dump station 

    Woodpecker Hollow toilet/shower facility needs some deep cleaning 

    11 windows in Woodpecker Hollow women’s toilet/shower and only 4 were open. Camp host said rest of windows were painted shut.  Floors were continuously wet and slippery. What a mess! This place needs a fan or two.

    Most pets we saw were NOT on leash

    No ranger drive thru Woodpecker Hollow 

    No park WIFI

    Lake Bob Sandlin State Park Campground

    Fun for the Second Year in a Row

    We stayed in a screened shelter at Lake Bob Sandlin SP in Nov 2020 and in a cabin with bunk beds last weekend and both sites were great. We have four kids, so space was a little tight in the cabin but we made do. Clean facilities, friendly staff and beautiful rolling terrain along the lake. Would recommend!

    Options Galore!

    This is my favorite state park in Texas! Lots of options for all kinds of campers. For camping, lots of different sites available for RVs/Campers, Tents, etc. some along the lake, some in the woods, and also cabins and shelters available! Hiking options vary from a nature stroll, to some more serious up-downs through the hills on the outskirts of the campground. Bring your friends, family, and pets, there is truly something for everyone here, even kayak and canoe rentals at the lake!

Guide to Daingerfield

Cabins near Daingerfield, Texas range from basic accommodations to facilities with full amenities. The region sits at approximately 400 feet elevation in the piney woods of northeast Texas, creating a moderate woodland climate. Summer temperatures typically reach 90-95°F during daytime hours, while winter nights can drop to the low 30s.

What to do

Fishing and paddling opportunities: Lake Bob Sandlin State Park offers excellent water recreation just 18 miles from Daingerfield. "Great location. Fishing dock," notes one visitor, while another highlights the kayaking potential: "Kayak launch isn't easy to get to but they have provided a slide for yaks to get from the parking area to/from the launch. Once you're there though it's like you're transported somewhere else and you weave your way through a winding canal to reach the lake."

Hiking through pine forests: Tyler State Park features multiple trails through tall pines. "Great trails for biking and hiking," says one camper, while another mentions, "The hiking is not the greatest but it was easy enough for my toddler." Trails range from short 0.3-mile loops to connecting paths that create longer routes.

Wildlife viewing: Caddo Lake State Park offers unique opportunities to observe creatures in their natural cypress habitat. "Beautifully creepy with its Spanish moss covered trees all through the lake. Quiet and great trails for you and the doggies!" reports one visitor. Morning hours provide the best wildlife viewing opportunities.

What campers like

Wooded cabin settings: Daingerfield State Park cabins sit among tall pines. "The title sums it up! Nice hiking trials. Privacy if that's your thing, it is for us and our three dogs," says one visitor. Another notes, "camp site was flat had pads for tents and was well mantaind. had a shower and restroom that was clean and also had great hikng."

Lakefront accommodations: Cabins with lake views provide relaxing settings. One visitor to Lake Bob Sandlin State Park writes, "Sites 10-13 are nice waterfront sites. We came here for fall colors but I think we were just a little late, but the park was still pretty." Rental units typically sit 20-100 yards from shorelines.

Clean facilities: Atlanta State Park maintains well-kept amenities. "Nice and clean park. Quiet but only half full," reports one camper. "All the trail signs are new and easy to find. Camp hosts definitely do their job on checking on the park and ensuring things are taken care of."

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most state park cabins require advance booking, with weekends filling 2-3 months ahead. For private accommodations like Hope Springs RV Campground, a visitor notes: "Great campground for a short stay or longer occupancy. Easy to get in and out. Full amenities. This is an older campground that is being upgraded in progress."

Seasonal considerations: Winter visits offer fewer crowds but limited services. "Park store closed during winter except open on Saturdays," reports one Daingerfield visitor. Summer visits require advance planning for cooling, especially July-August when temperatures regularly exceed 90°F.

Wildlife precautions: Raccoons frequently visit campsites after dark. "We had a regular nighttime visit from some bold raccoons, so definitely put your goodies and trash away," advises one Lake Bob Sandlin camper. Another cautions about other small creatures: "The property has lots of fire ants and chiggers, so stay on paved areas."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several parks offer play equipment for children. A Tyler State Park visitor notes, "The playground is one of the best I've seen at the state parks we've been to!" Most playgrounds accommodate ages 3-12 with climbing structures and swings.

Swimming options: Big Al's Barefoot Bay provides water access for families. "Sandy spots to swim from at various entry points. Friendly people and several kids that run around playing, making friends," shares one visitor. Most swimming areas lack lifeguards, so parental supervision remains necessary.

Entertainment planning: Some locations offer scheduled activities. "They have Karaoke across the street every Friday and live music every Saturday," reports a Big Al's visitor. During summer months, consider morning activities when temperatures remain cooler.

Tips from RVers

Site selection considerations: Choosing appropriate cabin or RV sites matters for larger units. "Most FHU sites (other than BIG PINE) are extremely short in length. Barely room for single axle TT, so need to review site details carefully," advises an Atlanta State Park visitor.

Hookup quality: Full hookup sites vary in quality and layout. "Campsite utility hook-ups in good condition with no problems encountered," notes one Atlanta State Park camper, while another mentions parking challenges: "Asphalt parking pad heaved various places due to tree roots creating numerous tripping hazard."

Supply availability: The region has limited shopping options. A Hope Springs visitor advises, "The nearby area boasts a small grocery store with gas station for gas and diesel, post office, oil change/brake shop, high school ball fields and tennis courts, as well as nearby pizza and Mexican restaurants."
