    Nice place

    Nice place for a weekend getaway. The smell that was mentioned is a thing, but we only noticed it at night. Must be the lake….Remember to book in advance online! They won’t let you in without an online reservation and cell coverage is minimal.

    Noisy

    It is a nice campground, but there were lots of gunshots in the area and the spots are pretty close together. It is nice that it has full hookups, but my dump is towards the front of my RV and the dump site was in the very back of my space

    Caddo Lake State Park Campground

    Incredible location!

    I've never seen anything so unique and beautiful as Caddo Lake!! Like being in a movie! The State Park campground is immaculate, staff and hosts are super friendly. Fishing, kayaking, canoeing, boat tours, walking/hiking trails, awesome! Nearby historical town of Jefferson was a quaint day trip or artists, shops and eateries. What a trip! Can't wait to revisit Caddo Lake and all its beauty!

    Quiet Place to Unwind

    Staying at Buckhorn for the weekend. The campground is small, serene, and well maintained. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Some of the waterfront sites have a deck to sit and relax on. The park is very clean. We are enjoying relaxing here.

    Quite and Peaceful

    This place was not busy when we came out. The view of the lake was beautiful. Lots of deer in the campsite.

    Amazing!

    Site and road to it are both well-maintained. Absolutely gorgeous views of the water. We got the best sleep we’ve ever had camping with the soft grass and our sleeping pad. Watch out for mud spots in the grass.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Nice campground!

    We loved staying here! The view was beautiful, easy to find and drive to. We were able to get a spot right next to the boat ramp and the site had plenty of parking space for our camper, boat and truck. Only downfall: the bathrooms could be a little cleaner but they aren’t terrible and definitely usable.

    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.

    Earl Williamson Park

    Hidden Gem

    We stayed late fall of '23 for about a week. This place was wonderful. Our site had water and 50 amp service. There was a dump station that was easy to get to and maintained. The bath house was very clean but dated. The showers were clean. There was a nice playground, public boat launch and I think there was an old unmaintained beach. Plenty of access to the lake that had amazing sunsets. The lake is large and dotted with oil derricks. 

    We got to play disc golf at their very nice public (free) 18 hole course. I've been carrying around the discs for years and never got to play. Now I'm hooked!

    At double the price it was a bargain. We'll definitely stop again if we get through the area.
