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.

I can't tell you how much help this is for traveling and trying to find a lady minute place to stay. Had saved my butt more than once! Everyone who camps should try it out!
Guide
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.

Dean, the owner and manager, was exceptionally nice. The area is quiet and well maintained. Easy location to access from I-20. Verizon works great. We’ve been several places throughout the country and our site was extremely level. Plenty of room in pull through sites to keep toad hooked up behind 42’ Tiffin Bus. Nice area to stay overnight or for few days.

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.
Traveler
The park is good. Sites are mostly concrete and level, some gravel. The premium sites are longer and wider and easier in and out. Bathrooms and laundry clean. Management and staff nice.
TravelerGreat 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.
TravelerI brought my dog on a two night weekend stay and we had a blast. The campsite was well maintained and we loved all of the trails.

Ashley here from The Dyrt! We’re excited to have this new partner online. They are a working cattle ranch, event venue, and rustic cabin vacation rental property. Check them out and leave them some love!
ScoutDean is a wonderful manager. Always makes sure you get what you need the park is clean and big very friendly
ScoutThe park has many hiking trails. The tent sites are close together so there is not much room for privacy. Many racoons. Park facilities are clean, nice swimming area and good roads.

Super nice staff and full saturday breakfast (eggs/bacon/pancakes/coffee etc--extra fee, but very reasonable!)
Pool, jump pad, playground, trike rentals, Rock/gem mining slough, movies/events, etc.
Sites are level pull-through sites and most have a clear view of the playground, which gives the kids a sense of freedom. They have cabins and cool teepees as well, but have only ever camped in RV here.
Have been camping here in the summers and both Easter & Halloween weekends and they do easter egg/candy hunts and have other events for the kids/kids at heart.
We love coming here and the staff are always very kind to us. (photos on this review are during the halloween event--we decorated our campsite lol)
ScoutSuch an unbelievable, majestic landscape that can truly only be seen in person to fully take in the beauty. Can’t wait to go back
GuideTo celebrate September birthdays, we took advantage of the king holiday weekend to visit Jellystone. We’ve been here a couple of times before, but in the winter months. It was great to take advantage of the water amenities available! My kids loved the splash pad/water slides (I did too!). The bouncy pillow is always a fan favorite, and we spent just as much time there as we did in the water. Great evening movies, lots of fun activities, and close to Tyler if you decide to venture out and get some good food, or find something to do!
Our site was very shady, and our ac had no issue keeping up with the temps. Our particular site was a pie shape. We had visitors Saturday, and there were some parking blues because of how narrow the site was. We only chose this site because it was all that was available when booking. We prefer to be closer to all the fun! But overall we were happy with the location.
ScoutI've camper at Tyler State Park many times in my life. This is the first time in an RV. Rangers were nice & helpful. The facility is well organized & well maintained. They are constructing a a new headquarters in the pines near Cedar Point but the crews were considerate and no bother to us. No noise problems or traffic issues. The camping is limited in the Tyler area but this place is a jewel. Nice lake for fishing but few campsites near the water. Bathrooms were close & clean. Our campsite shaded our RV. No solar but there is an open area for starlink. No cell service from Verizon.

This campground is a few miles off I 20. Basic RV park with full hookups with level gravel lots and easy maneuverability. Pull through accommodated my 44 ft. MH, Jeep with mini golf cart carrier easily. Quiet and nice.

GuideNot a fan of the site just due to the raccoons. Did a shakedown run of a new RTT after having appointments in the general area - the location is nice, but lots of road noise from the freeway. The worst part was a family of raccoons kept coming up for food all night. It was hard to sleep with them in the (empty) bed of the truck all night playing around.
GuideNice little park. Good for overnight. Friendly staff. Did laundry and it had clean machines. Peaceful surroundings. You can hear the traffic noise. Tmobile had good service. Didn't have to unhook with 43 foot 5th Wheel.
RangerThis is another great state park, nice trails, fishing, piers, beautiful! For us the power plant across from the campgrounds bothered us at night a little. Theres a train that runs in front of it too, but only heard that a few times. Other than that we loved it!
RangerWe stayed for a few days in the winter, it was quiet and beautiful at the lake. We didnt use the facilities but they look in great shape.
TravelerNice pull thru spots near a beautiful park with lots of trails

This is a quiet place. There's about 10 full hook up, level, pull through sites. Pretty surroundings. Kyle and Sarah keep it clean and family friendly. There's a laundry room. No Bathhouse. They're building a pond, which will be lovely once it's done in 2022. There are small houses nearby. Nice folks living in them. Kyle is really nice, not pushy with religion. Close to Center, Tx. I suggest Darrel's or Chaps for Bbq!
Scout
Roads make it easy to get around and get into your site. Most pads are concrete, very clean well kept campground. View of lake is wonderful, peaceful and huge spaces. Lots of places for kids to play or ride bikes. Several bathroom shower houses, nice beach. Great At&t signal to work lake side.

Cons
Raccoons very aggressive and tried to take food that we were eating from our hands!!! Area 2 Lakeview sites require leveling side-to-side
Area 2 campsite parking pads are narrow with trees and large boulders close to parking pad.
ery narrow roadway in Area 2 with limited space to maneuver into backin sites.
One pull-thru site was so tight to the roadway, their trailer was partially on the road! Area 2 campground sites have no privacy from any other camp sites
Site 211 table, fire pit with cooking grate and lantern pole are located opposite side of the trailer door
Area 2 restroom/shower building serves 58 campsites and it shows it! Restroom facility badly needing some TLC, cleaning and maintenance Women’s restroom had 3 toilets and 2 sinks; men’s had 2 toilets and 1 urinal
Firewood for sale in Area 2 was only pine wood
ScoutNice spaced out sites, plenty of room to enjoy the stay. Limited number of full hook ups but they have a honey wagon. Will definitely come back to this park.
