Guide
TLDR: Dirty, overpriced, bait n switch offerings, NOT an RV Resort.
This was the most disappointing RV park I've ever been to. It is marketed and priced as an "RV resort"....It is not. We had a good time because we had good company but this place was the butt of a joke...We went for Memorial Day weekend. (A holiday weekend) The kids couldn't play in the grass because it was so tall. One of the permanent campers (there are many permanent RVs) came by and asked if we wanted to borrow a mower..not kidding. It was sweet of him to offer, but we paid $73/night! Just yikes.
We were also warned not to go down to the beach area because it was destroyed by waves and there were water snakes everywhere. We were taken aback at the overall "resort" and could only laugh at how absurd it was lol.
The pool was packed with locals (It was a holiday weekend though, so I'll give them that one). The lady at the check in was super rude and was put out by us checking in. Overall, I would NEVER come back here. We camp at expensive places and state parks and everything in between. I've never written a bad review for a campsite, because I've never found a place that was this terrible. Had it been priced accordingly, I would've been ok with it, but this is NOT a resort and shouldn't be a resort price! Yikes.
There was more that I'm probably forgetting...but some other highlights: The splash pad didnt work. The kiddos said the playground was gross and sketchily creaking. There is no clubhouse. Oh, also, the infinity pool pictured on the website is 100% not the same pool that is there. There are many other campsites on the lake...go to any other one!
PICS SHOW THINGS FROM THEIR WEBSITE THAT DON'T EXIST OR ARE VERY MISREPRESENTED...In short...Book something else. I hope they get their act together, but their website is bait n switch.

This is a small RV park right off a main highway a few miles outside of Jacksonville. The first thing you notice is the amazing view! You are able to see for miles. Denny met us when we drove up and helped us settle into our site. Full hookups with a concrete pad, very level. The laundry facility was good and free. Will definitely stay there again if in the area.
Legend
Well spaced out, but not huge sites (both RV hookup electric and Non "tent only") which allow you to not really spread out, but at least people aren't on top of you. Like most campgrounds you have your standard table and fire ring, but you also have access to flush toilets and showers.
The recreation area also rents out canoes and has pretty good fishing or you can make sure of thee swimming area and the tons of trails for some short nice hikes or a long trek through the region.
Traveler
Very friendly staff and residents. Mostly long-term residents. Nice facilities and pool. Privacy fence around lot and large shed to store in or use as an extra living space.

Love going to bethy creek resort !!! Everyone there is so accommodating happy and helpful. Bethy creek is the only place to camp Rv rent a boat and millions of other things to do. Good clean bathrooms excellent showers excellent store with pretty much everything you need while you stay there. 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. WE WILL BE GOING BACK FOR YEARS TO COME !!!!

This is really now the Lufkin KOA Journey. I'll try to get the name changed for this listing. This RV park is one of the nicest we've seen. We arrived here on a Saturday and we plan to leave to go further south the following Saturday. The pads appear to be newly poured concrete. All very level. The hookups are in good working order. This is a very clean RV park.
Guide
This is my husband and my favorite camp ground. Very quiet. Love that the public swimming hole and boat ramp are not inside the park. 2 Pull throughs right on the water. Lots of different spaces to choose from no matter yer your camping needs. Primitive, screened shelters, shelter with full hook-ups, and full hook-ups. Bathrooms are always clean and showers are private.
LegendNice campground with nice amenities, but i think it's really too geared towards RVs and daily use. I'd call it an RV park more than a campground
You have your standard sites, but they're all powered and hookups so whatever you get is going to have an RV near you.
There are your standard table and fire rings, but you also have decent bathrooms (with some vault toilets mixed in for surprises) and showers...
Great location if you want to use the boat ramps and head out onto the water.
Ranger
This camp ground pretty much checks every box for us. There’s full hook ups for a low price. The sites are spaced apart with lots of trees. The trails are wide and well kept. The lake is huge. There’s even “self service” kayak rentals. And a swing set and slide built well enough for adults! We were here in February and it was maybe half full or less. Very quiet. Dog friendly. Mild weather. Really nice place!
There is a “board walk trail” that is quite literally a board walk through the forest. It’s just a 1 mile loop and has a few benches and attractions, and this would be an excellent handicap option. It was a beautiful walk, even in the winter.
GuidePerfect small rv park with an unbelievable view. This RV park sits atop of a historic state landmark, Loves Lookout Mountain, just north of Jacksonville Texas. This park has the best view in East Texas.
Mr. Mortis, owner/operator, is as nice and down to earth as they come. He obviously cares a great deal about the park and area, as his planting of 50,000 trees in the area will attest. He has created a beautiful park and hiking/biking trails and more. With multiple visits to the park, we look forward to chatting with Mr. Mortis each visit.
This is a great central location for anything East Texas. Within easy reach of Tyler, Canton, Lindale, Gladewater and more.
LegendWe love this state park and it's one of our favorites! This was our third time camping here in the Piney Shores Loop. We arrived on Memorial Day for four nights with reservations made 54 days prior. We weren’t loving Piney Shores#52 back-in campsite much due to: Steep drop-off of the concert pad and the narrow roadway making backing in challenging, but not impossible for our 27ft trailer. Any larger rigs might not be able to swing it.
The dirt area around the picnic table, fire pit and lantern pole was a huge MUD hole! What a mess due to daily rains.
No concrete pad under the picnic table, so your feet were in the MUD hole! HINT– Park Maintenance needs to apply some medium size gravel around the table and fire pit.
Picnic table (chained to the ground) and fire pit were right next to each other. WHO DESIGNS THESES CAMPSITES??
Power interruptions, albeit short. Very glad we had our power surge protector.
We loved:
Very level concrete pad requiring no additional leveling efforts.
Huge campsite along the lakefront with access to launch kayak/canoe or even swim(which we didn’t).
Gorgeous sunsets over the lake. It was wonderful to sit at the fire facing the lake and watch the sunsets.
The squirrels that ate from our fingertips! It was also really amusing to find the squirrels VERY friendly. They just hoped up onto our laps and took peanuts in the shell from our fingertips!
Super quiet as only 6 full hook up campsites were occupied due to COVID operating restrictions.

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!!)

A beautiful RV Park with well placed mature trees. The bathrooms are immaculate! Call or email to see if there is a site available because they are pretty full.
GuideThis RV Park no longer exists. I drove by and it appears to be gone due to new Interstate 69 Highway construction. The Google listing even reports it as permanently closed.
ScoutThis was our maiden voyage in our new 36’ A Class. We stopped here to stay the night on our way from Memphis to Dallas. We arrived after the office was closed and there was a note on the door with our site location. We were thrilled with the accommodations. If every RV Park is this clean and this easy to get in and out of we will be thrilled.
Guide
Ford Chapel is one of those places where you know things would go off the rails if it wasn't for management. Tim, the park manager, is incredible. The WIFI, bath house and laundry is great and the other guests are usually quiet and friendly. Also it's right down the road from the Love's Truck Stop.
Some Cons: Someone in the neighborhood likes to burn trash sometimes at night and it's fumes engulf the RV park.
GuideThis is another Great in deep e. Texas. They have really clean it up over the years. Even thin out more by the swimming area and boat ramps. Has a boat ramp but no electric motors. Also a dump station. They upgraded a RV spot that also has a playground too. You will find remants of the old sawmill here.
ScoutAll the RV pads are nice concrete pads, with ample space between sites. Piney Shores is the best loop with full hookups and nice view of the lake.
GuideLake Livingston State Park is one of our regular visits. During the school year it is hard to head out on a Friday, drive 2-3 hours and then setup in the dark for a weekend camping trip. Lake Livingston is just over an hour from our house and has lots to offer. They recently rebuilt one of the camping loops to where now this is one of the few state parks in Texas that have Full Hookups. Not all loops have Full Hookups but a couple do.
Like most state parks in Texas the sites here are large and offer a lot of shade. Each site will have a table and a fire ring. There are tons of hiking trails and geocaches throughout the park. It is also close to shops in town so that if you forget something you are only about 15 minutes from a Walmart. There is a shop on site that has most of the essentials.
Legend
Nice little park with full hookup’s, shaded. Play ground small fishing lake. We stayed here so we could take the grandchildren to the Polar Express train ride.
GuideLufkin, Texas, Take a look at the photos on Google maps. The worst part is the lack of road and site grading and drainage. Utilities are fine. Full hookups, laundry room, 1 shower, good wifi. Roads are mostly dirt. Pads are mostly dirt and ungraded some have gravel. Manager is trying to upgrade but it has a long way to go.Lots of potential here.
Guide
Took a chance on this campground because many reviews on various websites were bad and many were old...Used to be a TX state park but was "decommissioned" evidently. It is not the most maintained campground, but it is a small loop with pull-in sites w/ full hookups. The bathroom didnt seem maintained much, but we have a camper, so don't have need for the bathrooms. The texas state RR train engine car came through one time in the afternoon to turn around to pull the train back to palestine...that's pretty unique and a cool thing at a campsite IMO.
our group loved this place--albeit a very different experience if you are used to well-maintained KOAs etc, but for those that are self contained and just want to hang out/camp, it's a cool place. Had a nice walk around the historic train depot and the little pond behind it. we camped in october and It was very "fall vibes" with all the super tall pine trees and we thought it was a hidden gem and appropriately priced for what you get (ie: it's not priced like a KOA, so don't expect similar amenities--but there are good things about that too--it's not packed with people!!). Not sure I'd make a super long destination out of it if you're too far away, but We will be back since it's close to camp here!
Scout
This campground is probably one of the best in the area. It's clean, well maintained with excellent restrooms that are well lit and spotless. The boat launch is in great condition with plenty of parking. The camp store is well stocked and operated by the nicest of people. Slushes and Pickles all day! You've got all the amenities for RVs, lots of picnic tables and the campsites are well spaced out with fire pits electricity including 30 amp along with water. Lake Livingston is great for fishing and they have a designated safe swim area. Overall this is a very safe, very clean and family-oriented campground. Highly Recommend.

Tere is a natural fed spring that is clear and beautiful. There's BBQ pit area and picnic tables. Cell Signal is almost non-existent. Sandy but still a lot of fun for the family.
There's RV camping and I believe tent camping also. We normally make a day trip as Its only a couple hours from home
Legend
We camped here for a long weekend getaway. The park is a little over an hour north of Houston and easy to get to. We did not have a lakefront site, but we had a really good view of the lake. The full hookups were great and included cable tv. The park was a bit crowded for the weekend, with a lot of kids running around and riding bikes. There is a small swimming beach as well as a nice area for fishing. The park has a restaurant, which we went to for homemade pie!
Guide
Such a peaceful and beautiful area in the Piney Woods of East Texas. I wish we'd had more than 2 days here to explore. A lot of shady hiking trails that meander through the trees and near the quiet 4 acre lake. We had RV spot #24 and you could see the lake through the trees. Our spot was nice and open and our neighbors weren't too close. Do bring an extra long hose for the water connection as other reviews have stated. I decided to use the available showers because we had guest staying with us. There are 4 large private bathroom/shower rooms at this area. The shower was nice and hot and the water pressure was fantastic. We fished off of one of the docks in the evening and caught a little few perch. Enough to make me happy. Would have loved to be out on a kayak at sunset on that little lake. We will definitely be back.
GuideMy family visited with my mother in law and my sister in law and her family. The managers acted like it was going to be a crazy busy weekend over Memorial Day. There’s 8 RVs here, and even the swimming hole has room for everyone, and then some.
The site is situated with a spring that opens up to swim in. The water is unnaturally blue, and truly looks dyed. It’s ice cold, though! Back in the woods where the water is running, it’s crystal clear and beautiful. The best part is the deer that will walk right up to you that you can hand feed. The flies are horrendous, and so are the ants. The bathhouse is exceptionally clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed utilizing this feature. Management is different. We’ve been micromanaged to death during our stay. We’ve been asked dozens of time what we’re doing, what are plans are, how long we’re staying etc…. We were even asked to help catch a cat that’s running around with a double eye infection, and possibly a case of mange. We affectionately refer to it as zombie cat. It’s very sweet, just needs some veterinary care.
Cell phone service here is almost non existent. We have sprint service and have one bar, if we are outside in certain areas. Would not recommend staying here if you work remotely.
Otherwise, it’s very quiet and peaceful. Very clean. White rock parking areas for pads, full hookups.
