GuideThis park is in a perfect spot on the outskirts of town. It’s really quiet, has a pond, dog park, walking trail and the road to town is beautiful. It’s only about 5 to 10 minutes from a fairly new shopping center and restaurants. Has a laundry facility on site. Everything is super clean. Anthony is great to work with and is very helpful. Neighbors are friendly and courteous. Wish we could stay longer.
GuideI should mention that my husband is from Canada. He was very unenthusiastic about camping in Texas. Well Tyler State Park made him change his mind! He LOVED the large trees, said it was the closest he'd felt to home in quite some time. We love the variety of types of sites they offer. Lake front, group, hike in, cabin, they have something for everyone! Only downfall is they book so quickly.
ScoutQuiet, clean, nice staff. We were right by the dog park, which the dogs loved!
ScoutPull thru, level, concrete pad. Swimming pool & fishing lake. Very little shade. No dog park but lots of green walks for the pups. Great spot if you love antiquing! Gladewater has many, many, many antique shops. Campground staff is very nice and accommodating.

GuideNice manager .. Park 95% gravel .. has electric 30/50 amp ..water quality good .. has sewer at site .. not much going on .. mostly permanent campers here .. Passport of America site .. I paid a total of $19.24 for the night .. small dog park
GuideMy husband evacuated here during hurricane season for a couple of days and I drove up to meet him. We love every KOA we stay in, but this was felt very “homey” - the dog park was a plus and their laundry facilities were very affordable!
GuideWe stayed here for one night on our cross country trip. It was clean, well maintained, nice layout and landscaping, great dog park, and friendly service. We had a level pull through with full service with no need to disconnect. Walmart right down the street for replenishing the goods. Great stop over.
ScoutThis 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.

Kayaking on Caddo Lake: Explore the cypress trees draped with Spanish moss at Caddo Lake State Park Campground.

Huge old cypress trees with Spanish moss hanging from the limbs," notes Bill N., who recommends getting a lake map from nearby bait shops.

Weather considerations: Summer heat requires planning for pet-friendly camping near Easton.

Noise levels: Some campgrounds have nearby infrastructure that creates background noise. At Caddo Lake State Park, Sarah D. mentions "incessant road noise that you hear from every campsite.

Reservation requirements: Popular campgrounds fill quickly, especially during peak seasons. "Very popular so reservations are recommended," warns Jack C. about Brushy Creek. Another camper describes getting a spot at Tyler State Park as "kinda like winning the lottery."
