Best RV Parks & Resorts near Lake O' The Pines

Most RV sites around Lake O The Pines can handle rigs up to 45 feet long on level concrete or gravel pads. The area has several campgrounds where RVs get water, sewer, and electrical hookups (30-50 amp service). You'll find plenty of pull-through sites at campgrounds near the lake, which helps when you're driving a bigger motorhome or fifth wheel. Almost all campgrounds have dump stations, though many sites include full hookups right at the pad. Roads to the lake's camping areas are in good shape and wide enough for large RVs without scraping branches. Each campground has its own rules about generator hours to keep the noise down while still letting people use their power when needed. The typical RV site comes with a fire ring and picnic table next to where you park. Different campgrounds have different length limits, so it's worth calling ahead to check before you arrive with your rig. The camping areas combine good RV amenities with pretty lake views. If you want to camp during summer or holidays, book well ahead - sites fill up quickly, especially those with the best lake access. From most RV parks, you can easily reach fishing spots, hiking trails, and small towns around the lake.

    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.

    Piney Point

    Nice clean COE campground

    Nice well spaced sites with level concrete pads. Lots of trees for shade in most sites. Beautiful views from the sites on the bluff. It has been quiet every time we were there . Playground ,boat ramp , nice clean showers and rest room. the staff has always been helpful. Most sites are water and electric but there may be some with full hookups . If not , there is a dump station . Very family friendly . No swimming area , but at my age that is not a big deal.

    Shreveport Bossier City KOA

    Not to sure

    Did an extended stay here, 3 months while working in the area. The staff is great and very helpful and friendly. The dog park is nice if you have them. Park is well maintained. There are only 2 reasons I couldn’t give them more than 3 stars, 1) on monthly rate they charge for electric which I get but it continued to go up even though outside temps continued to drop so no need for my A/C units. 2) During the last 4 nights of my stay there were multiple times I heard multiple gun fire in the area.

    Lots of in and out traffic. I would recommend if your passing through the area and need to stop for a night or two but not long term.

    The Bluffs RV Park

    Quick stay in a cute campground!

    We came in town for a fishing tournament and stayed at this small campground with a lot of cute amenities! Close to boat ramp, 5 min walk to the lake, full hookups, good water pressure, fire pits, gavel sites, concrete pads for wooden picnic tables, small grills, dog run, horseshoes, laundry hut and free firewood! Right off the highway and good phone reception.

    Buckhorn Creek

    Fun place to camp

    This ground is situation Lake o’ the Pines in east Texas. This is a corp of engineers lane and has many amp grounds available to stay.

    Although the lake itself is pretty dirty, it’s fun to fish and play on water craft. Fellow campers are usually pretty friendly. This location is water and electricity only, no sewer hookups. Bath houses serve are purpose. They are don’t the nicest, but not the worst.

    Fire rings are situated at each camp site. Concrete pads and picnic tables, also.

    Ramblin Fever RV Park

    Close to Restaurants and Shopping

    I stayed for 4 nights from a Thursday through Monday. The owner is very nice and helped me with choosing a drive thru site. It is well maintained. Mix of long term and short stay resident s. It is near a busy arterial highway so it's not especially quiet. The hookups worked great. I was two spots from the very front of the park. I used Passport America pass for my first 3 nights. I felt safe. It is very pet friendly. Keep dogs on leash and clean up after them. I have 3 black labs. No fenced dog park yet, so I drove them to the city park with tennis courts every morning to run free. I will most likely stay here again. I mostly boondock in the forests, but when I need a place to resupply and take care of business needs, this place is very nice.

    Buffalo Bayou RV Park

    Not what we expected

    Made a reservation via telephone for two days a month in advance, but was not given a site number.When we pulled up to the office there was a note with a telephone number to call, but no answer. I saw a gentleman walking around and it appeared he saw us. After waiting about 10 minutes, I decide to driver further into the park. The gentleman I saw earlier was one of the owners/ managers, I would would have expected him to go to the office to meet the newly arriving guests. I will say that he was friendly enough and later, his wife stopped by to collect the fee and she too was friendly. The park itself has full hook ups and is on the banks of the bayou. The campground require you to sign a waiver because of the water moccasins from the bayou and because of the potential of falling tree limbs. The. Campground is pretty sandy so leveling may be problematic for big rigs. The do allow long term guests to store all kinds of equipment and gear, the site next to us look like a junk yard. Our fellow campers seemed friendly enough with the gentleman on the other side from the junk yard introducing himself.

    Brushy Creek

    Gorgeous Views!

    This COE campground is part of Lake O' The Pines right outside the historic town of Jefferson, TX. Our site had 180 degree views of the beautiful lake and sat amongst tall pines. The sites are a nice distance from the others and fairly level. Electric and water hookups were on site and a dump station was nearby within the park.  Many had their fishing boats and a nice swimming area was just a few yards away. We enjoyed the Jefferson Museum and train ride while we were nearby.  The only deduction was due to an abundance of ants that invaded our RV and were difficult to resolve. Though insects are an obvious hazard of camping, we'd never had that issue before. Overall, it's a gorgeous place to spend time!
