Antique Capital RV Park
Nice RV park.
Friendly staff clean site, showers that are nicer than home. Each site has a shade tree but other than that, not much shade.
Martin Creek Lake State Park Campground
STATE PARK NEXT TO POWER PLANT
Once again our timing was great as this state park was only about 1/4 full. Sites were level and as with most SP's, plenty of room. Nice wooded park, lots of deer and a nice island to hike on. Power plant isn't all that bad, but then again we weren't right on the water where you would be able to hear it more. Nice facilities.

Brushy Creek
Great view and large area for kids to play.
Had a fun weekend here with our two kids. Lots of room around this campsite for the kids to ride bikes and play without being in another site. This site is very close to bathrooms and dumpster. The boat ramp dock is just a short walk away. We will definitely stay again.
Lake o pine nook
Rustic and great feel.
If u want a true rustic feel, this is it. The host was more than willing to answer any questions and was very responsive. Allowed us to cut little trees down to use for firewood. The little creek is nice to listen to in the evening. Just down the road to the boat ramp
Lake Of The Pines
very good
Sounds good. Big Shot Boxing
Lake Winnsboro Park
Super cute and quiet
This was a great little spot! Free, quiet & clean. There were very clean portopottys for use as well.
Tyler State Park Campground
Quiet, lovely campground. Excellent park staff.
We drove from NWArkansas the end of January to purchase a conversion van in Tyler, but towed our 19-foot Coleman camper just in case the van didn't work out, at least we'd have a nice camping trip! We stayed in a pull-though space (#340) which was large enough for our Tundra, the Coleman, AND our newly acquired 2000 E-350 Sportsmobile Van.
The campsites were quiet (except for our dogs, who loved the racoons and deer...sorry!!) and well maintained. Beautiful walk around the lake to watch the sunrise. The facilities are standard state park facilities...everything worked. One toilet was a mess, but that wasn't the rangers' fault. One would think women would be more mindful of the mess they make.
Note that the gift shop isn't open on Tuesday/Wednesdays, so if you want a head badge for your walking stick, you can purchase one at the ranger station CASH ONLY. Highly recommend this park.
Mill Creek Ranch RV & Cottage Resort
Amazing campgrounds
This place was beautiful and so serene. Bathhouse is very clean. A lot to do here. Wish we could have stayed longer! My favorite place so far!
Johnson Creek Camp
On point.
Small campground with some beautiful spots. E6 and E4 very nice. Water and electric with level concrete pads.
Shallow Creek RV Park
Very nice campground
We found this at the last minute and the had room for 25 days. When we got in the ownwer said he would give us the monthly rate because it was cheaper than 3 weeks. That was nice. Bathrooms nice and big and clean. They are on a golf course for you golfers. Concrete pads, we could tell some were not level, but ours was hardly any leveling. 2 pools, hot tub, splash park, play area. Internet good, though we did put out our starlink as we didn't want to hog everyone. Verizon great after 7 months of barely cell phone it is so nice.
2 downsides but not bad. Near a heavy used road, and narrow drive in and out.
Friendly and nice, we will be back.
Lake Tawakoni State Park Campground
Pretty Cool Spot for a Weekend Camping Trip
We spent a weekend here with the in-laws, in site 51. It had been raining a lot, so things were pretty muddy, but all in all it was a pretty nice park.
Lots of trails to explore, and a few geocaches. If you like boating or fishing, this park would be great for you.
Site 51 was pretty secluded and level.
Lake Bob Sandlin State Park Campground
Quiet and Shady
The park is well taken care of. The sites are level and have plenty of shade covering. This is especially important if you are in a pop-up like us. If you are, you know what I mean. It was a quiet campground. Bathrooms were clean. The entry gate is coded after closing for some added security. Will return.

Jellystone Park™ Tyler
Horrible
We had no choice but to stay for 2 months due to unfortunate events, but this place will make sure that you are treated like you are below them. We were always told to follow the rules, but the rules seemed to only being getting longer and stricter everyday, but the weekenders and the live in free workers didn't have to follow, we paid resort prices for no resort accommodations, what was "included" in the price wasn't included for us because we paid monthly not daily, (it's cheaper and it was literally 700$ a month so not much cheaper) the camp site for us was ran down and had prior campers trash left over that we had to take care of because it was "your responsibility" as the nice lady stated in the store front of the campground....I don't have kids in diapers, and I had to clean up over a dozen of poop filled diapers from our campsite, my youngest is 9...but as the leady said it was my responsibility to clean my campsite up upon arrival...then they tried to fine me for it...and the broken picnic table, that's bit the worse part, the worse part was the live in workers freely went threw our outdoor stuff (we have portable garden beds with veggie and fruits) by the time they freely helped themselves without my permission I had to restart my garden...I'm poor and lost everything so I'm literally starting all over again...I took out a large loan to get a type of hike for my son and I just to be treated like dog poop on the bottom of ya boot....when I brought it uo to them and started to complain about the chaos and rudeness I was told to "ignore it won't happen again" until it did...this time a weekender thought it would be adorable to throw rocks at my kid and dog...I will never go back.
Jellystone Park™ Tyler
Great woodland getaway
Great spot in the Piney woods of East Texas. Minutes from Tyler State park. Perfect spot for large families or groups. Amenities are not fully finished till summer, but there will be a great number of improvements such as water park, warming tub and restaurant.
Daingerfield State Park Campground
Quiet, Beautiful, and Perfect
Our site was large with a pull thru concrete pad right on the water. The sites are large and separated separated by trees and private. There is a fire ring with grill grate provided.
Johnson Creek Camp
Beautiful place on Lake 'O the Pines, but crowded campsites
I stayed here for five nights in mid-March. The campground is a mix of tent/RV loops and has multiple boat ramps into Johnson Creek which feeds into Lake 'O the Pines. I was in site E210 (RV area 2). Place was packed over the weekend, cleared out quite a bit during the week. I check out all four RV loops, and it's one of the most crowded COE campgrounds I've seen (and I've seen a lot). Site spacing in pretty close, but slightly better than commercial parks. I lucked out on E210, it was a pull-through that perched overlooking the lake. It was among the more private sites. Fairly level sites in loops, some asphalt, some concrete. Water/Elec, picnic pad and table and fire rings at all sites. I would definitely recommend and go back but pick your sites carefully if you want privacy - think Google satellite view or Google Earth. Pretty decent cell signal for Verizon, so-so for ATT.
Lake Of The Pines
good
Campgrounds provide water and electricity; in the heat, you'll need a fan. Even on the river, there is limited air circulation due to the dense tree cover. This location is tranquil and peaceful because it is not very well-liked by the locals. Visit cuphead if you are finding games.
