    Salmon Lake Park & Resort

    Underrated & unique family fun!

    We have camped at Salmon Lake many times. It is a favorite of the kiddos. The original owner was a house mover, so there are all kinds of old "western town" type setups..old jail, old barber shop, tons of old cars etc. It is fun just to walk around and look at them all. On some visits there is a train ride that runs, but not always. Some of the buildings are cabin rentals. We have never rented a cabin, only done RV camping, but the cabins look so neat!!

    There is a playground by the lake and The lake is gorgeous and the kids like to swim in it. It has a giant slide for them and a swimming dock in the middle. It is like a step back in time to the simpler days, very no frills camping. We have brought dirt bikes and small atv before. Owners are ok if you bring them, just be respectful and don't tear anything up. The owners are great hosts and super nice.

    All the spots are different (there are 100s of spots...they don't reserve spots. you just get there and then go pick one.)  There is a wooded section of sites behind the lake, but have never camped in that area. We usually pick a spot in the field near the big fire pit or tree. Most sites do not have fire pits or tables, but we usually find one near a fire pit or table with no problems. Be sure to check the sites before you unhook...some have full hookups, some have sketchy looking electric, but we just check everything before unhooking and use a surge protector.  We always look for full hookup sites and have never had a problem finding one way away from other campers. 10/10 one of our favorite campsites and a seriously underrated spot. We always say it feels like going back to a summer camp in the 70s-80s (in the best kind of way!!)

    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.

    Powell

    Beautiful lake, Spotless Camp grounds, Awesome Staff

    Went to Powell not knowing what to expect.  The lake is beautiful, the camp grounds are spotless and the Staff is awesome.  Great facilities whether tent camping, RV camping or staying in a cabin.  Cabins are small and rustic as you would expect but very clean.  What you’d want since you will be outside enjoying the great outdoors!  Boat rentals, pontoons for larger groups, fishing, water sports, they have it all.  Did I mention how awesome the staff is??? So accommodating and friendly.  We will be back!

    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.

    Lufkin KOA Journey

    Beautiful KOA!

    We have never seen such a beautiful and immaculate KOA in our travels! It truly shows pride of ownership by the family that runs it. It is located in Lufkin, Texas and has lovely scenery including trees and a pond. This park has everything including large paved pull-through sites with 30/50 amp. Each site has a grassy area and picnic table. There is a great pool and outdoor park area to play in. Check out this KOA if you are in the Lufkin area. A true gem! 😉👍🏻💗

Hiking trails: Martin Dies, Jr. State Park offers well-maintained trails through swampy landscapes. "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. 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!" advises one camper.

What campers like

Waterfront views: Many cabins offer direct lake access with private decks. At Bethy Creek Resort, visitors appreciate that "The beautiful picturesque views will ease the stress and relieve the strains of the real world. Excellent WiFi access if you need it and every RV hookup is perfectly located and easy to use."

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Summer brings increased insect activity, particularly in swampy areas. "Beautiful park but so many bugs. Did some canoeing, hiking and bird watching.

This is a very clean RV park."

Pull-through availability: Several campgrounds offer pull-through sites for easier access with larger rigs. At Hanks Creek, "Campground is nice but most sites aren't very long. Sites along the water are nice because you can beach your boat for easy access."
