Best Cabin Camping near Leona, TX

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!!)

Beautiful small state park. We usually tent camp but this time we decided staying at a cabin. Nice, beautiful and modern cabins. Love the enclosed porch and open porch as well. The cabin was spacious enough for our family of 6. The new family restroom close to the cabins was great, nice and clean. I will be back.

My wife and I rented a cabin for Christmas. It was clean and new. Wonderful bathrooms nearby. We hiked the trails and went and checked out the little lake.

The park staff where super friendly. We had a great stay.

I would give it 5 stars, but the park does not have RV sites. Cabins and primitive camping only

They have already started cleaning this place up with New paint on Cabins! Pool recently painted, I like this place because it’s quite! I’m sure it will be full soon. Tell them Cliff sent you and get 10% off your first night stay!

This place is very unique and surrounded by water. Cool Signs and nice looking cabins when you drive in. Property is laid out nicely with lots of camp spots along the water and rv sites by the creek. Has a little country store. Appears to be good fishing

The new owners are going all out to make this a family friendly RV park/campground/marina. Only having it for 14 months, you can see the improvements made. There is a store on site for all your needs, that includes wine from the owners own winery. There a a grill also on sight. The campground is gravel pad sites that are mostly level (try site3). They have cabins if you don’t have a RV. Very friendly and eager to make your stay wonderful.

Our visit was a week before Christmas and the decorations were up and beautiful. Give them a try, as we give them a recommendation.

Big lake to enjoy with boat rentals, simple trails, clean facilities, neat historic fort right on site. Not a lot to do on site if you’re not in the water. It was hot but there is an ok breeze along the water. The sites are wooded and pretty shady, pretty good separation between them. We were in an RV like almost everyone else. So many bugs though.

In early March of 2020, right at the beginning of the Covid 19 Pandimic, I had the opportunity to visit Fort Parker State Park is located next to the town of Mexia Texas and sits on the banks of Fort Parker Lake. This great Texas State Park was built by the CCC starting in 1935 and finishing in 1942. The CCC Company 3807(C) that constructed the park and for recreation was an an all African American CCC Camp. Old Fort Parker was rebuilt by the CCC in preparation for a Texas Centennial Observance in 1936, the rest of the constructs were completed over 6 years. Fort Parker State Park was dedicated in May 1941. Fort Parker State Park provides an excellent location for family camping trips, great family reunions or just a fun day hiking and exploring. Come along with me as I explore Fort Parker State Park!

The front guardhouse/entrance is extra campy. Low light and decorated with 69 yo 74lb catch pictures. This is by far the most fisherman geared Texas State Park we have been to and it's our 12th!

The playground is nicer than expected. The tr ails are well-marked.

A quirk of this park are the neighbors. You drive by 8 plus mailboxes while inside the State Park. An abandoned home half collapsed is seen from the roadway. So that's unique.

Beautiful and generally well kept. It's an older style but they have a newer playground area next to the old one.

For a family I give this a 2. For Fisherman a 5. For everyone else a 3.

I stopped in to use the showers, not realizing they were outdoor showers. The water was turned off, but the park looks to be very well taken care of.

Ashley here from The Dyrt! It was great to add this campground with plenty of lodging types. From cottages to RV spaces, they have it all. Book your stay today and come back here to leave a review!

I like to stay at Karstens RV Resort. Its full of facilities. Its clean and very attractive place. Their charges are also lower than others and best facilities than other RV parks. I wanna visit again soon. Thank you guys We camped at Karstens RV Resort in a Motor home.

Beautiful and well-maintained campsite. We have been to this RV Resort a few times and have NEVER been disappointed. They literally have thought of everything from daily trash pick-up to refilling propane tanks. All of the staff are absolutely wonderful and very friendly(professional). Every time we are in the area, we will be booking with Hidden Creek RV Resort. Highly recommended!!

We have stayed here several times as we have a son and daughter attending A&M. This park is immaculate and check in is always painless. The staff is very friendly and appreciative. We have never had a problem at Hidden Creek.
