GuideBeautiful small state park. We usually tent camp but this time we decided staying at a cabin. Nice, beautiful and modern cabins. Love the enclosed porch and open porch as well. The cabin was spacious enough for our family of 6. The new family restroom close to the cabins was great, nice and clean. I will be back.
RangerThis was the first trip we took with our new vintage camper and it did not disappoint! Even in the bitter cold of December Fort Parker had plenty to offer. Their sites are well spaced and large with a picnic table and fire ring. There are several right on the lake. They have several hiking trails and a few historic sites to explore. We really enjoyed our stay.
TravelerWe stopped here overnight on the way home from Renfest in October 2017... it was rustic, we saw a couple of wild hogs on the way to our campsite.
Like the other state parks we had been to, there was running water, tent pads & a nearby restroom. Since we were only there for one night, we didn't get a chance to explore the park.
LegendAshley here from The Dyrt! It was great to add this campground with plenty of lodging types. From cottages to RV spaces, they have it all. Book your stay today and come back here to leave a review!
RangerThe front guardhouse/entrance is extra campy. Low light and decorated with 69 yo 74lb catch pictures. This is by far the most fisherman geared Texas State Park we have been to and it's our 12th!
The playground is nicer than expected. The tr ails are well-marked.
A quirk of this park are the neighbors. You drive by 8 plus mailboxes while inside the State Park. An abandoned home half collapsed is seen from the roadway. So that's unique.
Beautiful and generally well kept. It's an older style but they have a newer playground area next to the old one.
For a family I give this a 2. For Fisherman a 5. For everyone else a 3.
ScoutWe had a chance to stay here the weekend of the A&M/Auburn game. Place was booked solid, but there was still plenty of room to move around, even with the slide outs out on everyone's RV.
The staff had a game night party and did smores for the kids(okay so I had one too) and sausage wraps for everyone. Beautiful park, it had 2 ponds and a large grassy area with a gazebo for hanging out, and the cutest miniature life size chess set, yes we played and of course, I won.
There is a really nice size pool with a covered porch area for sitting and a sun/TV room on the other side of the pool area, for lounging; hubby spent time in there watching sports while the kids played in the pool.
The laundry room was different. The machines didn't use coins they used an app-new technology. Not hard to use just had to download an app and put money on it. The nice thing was the machines let me know when the laundry was ready.
GuideThe new owners are going all out to make this a family friendly RV park/campground/marina. Only having it for 14 months, you can see the improvements made. There is a store on site for all your needs, that includes wine from the owners own winery. There a a grill also on sight. The campground is gravel pad sites that are mostly level (try site3). They have cabins if you don’t have a RV. Very friendly and eager to make your stay wonderful.
Our visit was a week before Christmas and the decorations were up and beautiful. Give them a try, as we give them a recommendation.
TravelerHad booked 8 days to visit with a friend and meet up with my daughter. What a nightmare!! I had called ahead of time to see if they had showers, as I did not see one on the map. The person that answered and assured me that they had showers. I have a self contained, but it was an extra $15/night for water in addition to electric. Anyways, they ONLY have one outside 'rinsing' shower, at the restaurant... There was about 1000 people there, the day I arrived. It was opening day, and it is a college town. The issue is that there was no patrol of the grounds and things were pretty wild. The management even admitted that "we were taken by surprise"... well, from all the people I talked to, this is the norm for opening weekend. People were parked in the camping area and it made it difficult to get into my site. The bathrooms were DISGUSTING! I only ended up staying 4 days and the bathrooms STILL had dirty toilet paper littering them... same paper... I complained about them. I saw what appeared to be the manager go check out the bathrooms, then the park host; not long after I lodged my complaint.. but 3 more days, and the bathrooms had not been touched. The garbage had not been emptied... people there with dogs not on leashes, pooping and not being cleaned up. They have no-one patrolling the grounds. Quiet time is from 10pm-6am but the restaurant had a VERY loud band playing until midnight... so much for rules and quiet time! The ONLY good thing is that they did allow me to check out and refund my money without having a cancellation fee.
If you are looking for clean, family friendly and quiet,,, this is NOT the place to go.
TravelerMy wife and I rented a cabin for Christmas. It was clean and new. Wonderful bathrooms nearby. We hiked the trails and went and checked out the little lake.
The park staff where super friendly. We had a great stay.
I would give it 5 stars, but the park does not have RV sites. Cabins and primitive camping only
