54 Reviews

Cabins near Nacogdoches provide rustic to modern accommodations with varying amenities across several campgrounds. Lufkin KOA Journey features clean cabin rentals with access to showers, toilets, and electric hookups. Shirley Creek Marina & Campground maintains 13 waterfront cabins on Lake Sam Rayburn with nearby swimming areas.

RV and tent sites right on the water, beach area for swimming, boat docks and ramp, etc. The staff is so welcoming! Oh and there are 13 gorgeous cabins for rent!"

Options range from tiny log cabins to spacious family-sized layouts. Rusk KOA offers cabin rentals alongside teepee accommodations for unique camping experiences. Most cabin sites are reservable with varying pet policies—Shirley Creek allows pets while other locations may restrict them. The House of Prayer Campground provides full hookup sites in a quiet family atmosphere without pushy religious influence. Most cabins operate year-round, but availability becomes limited during peak summer months. A visitor noted that Rusk KOA is "a very quiet location. Very beautiful area. Close to town. Friendly staff."

Most cabins require visitors to bring linens, towels, and personal items, though basic furniture and sleeping surfaces are typically provided. Kitchen facilities vary significantly—some locations offer only minimal cooking equipment while others provide more comprehensive setups. On-site camp stores exist at select locations including Lufkin KOA Journey and Rusk KOA, where campers can purchase forgotten essentials. The Lufkin KOA specifically receives high marks for amenities, with one camper noting: "This RV park is one of the nicest we've seen. 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."

    Martin Creek Lake State Park Campground

    Screened Shelter - BEST EVER! and oddly, no mosquitoes !?

    There are many options to camp at this state park. There’s RV sites, tent sites (both primitive and “cushy”), cabins, cottages and screened shelters. my past experience with screened shelters were always dusty, dank, spider-filled shacks that I would only store my cooler and belongings in (tightly sealed) but these at Martin Creek were IMMACULATE to say the least! They seem cob-webby from the outside but once inside, the concrete floor is smoother up the edges of the walls about 2.5’, reducing entry of insects via cracks in the joints of floor and wall. The park employees vacuum these areas, as observed when I passed others that had recently vacated. The rafters in these shelters were spaced out far enough for me to hang my hammock. 4 people slept inside without air mattresses or camp pads and slept wonderfully (flat surfaces are good for our spines sometimes) not a big in sight. There is an electrical outlet inside as well as a light, and there is an outlet outside as well. Small lock on inside, watr spigot and doIble lantern hook nearby as well as a wooden/metal picnic table (good condition). I slept in Shelter #6 and it was a few yards away from the water’s edge. Great views of a small lilly-pad laced bay and we caught 7 catfish using normal nightcrawlers as bait. Fried them up for lunch the next day and they tasted like heaven! But, everything tastes better when you’re camping. We had also set up 4 tents around the area (not disturbing local flora/fauna) and we slept to the deafening croaks of frogs. Only 1 raccoon came upon our camp area to a spot where someone had thrown a corn cob, otherwise, we take all the necessary steps to avoid crossing paths with those relentless nighttime furry bandits. Shelters 7-9 are also located in great areas of the lake nearby, there is the power plants across the lake and for some reason, we like to believe that it was the reason we had ZERO mosquitoes! Many house flies and the non-biting ants were everywhere but not to the point of insanity... they list this ant as an issue on their website I do believe. I’d take this shelter over a hotel stay ANY TIME!

    Martin Creek Lake State Park Campground

    Nice Overnight Stay but Beware...

    We stayed one night at Martin Creek Park in our travel trailer on our way to the next destination. Site 40 was wooded and very spacious. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring and ours had water and electric. There was a dump station available. The other reviewers mention the ants, but we didn’t have any problems with them. The noise from the power station droned constantly at a low hum but was easy to tune out. We arrived early and I hiked all three trails, which were easy to follow but not that well marked where they crossed. There are some unbelievably tall Loblolly Pines back on the trails - simply amazing! My ‘beware’ is that there is an abundance of Poison Ivy around. So if you are bothered by that be very careful. This was a very nice park and I would stay again for an overnight. Paid $19 a night.

    Powell

    Beautiful lake, Spotless Camp grounds, Awesome Staff

    Went to Powell not knowing what to expect.  The lake is beautiful, the camp grounds are spotless and the Staff is awesome.  Great facilities whether tent camping, RV camping or staying in a cabin.  Cabins are small and rustic as you would expect but very clean.  What you’d want since you will be outside enjoying the great outdoors!  Boat rentals, pontoons for larger groups, fishing, water sports, they have it all.  Did I mention how awesome the staff is??? So accommodating and friendly.  We will be back!

    Lufkin KOA Journey

    Beautiful KOA!

    We have never seen such a beautiful and immaculate KOA in our travels! It truly shows pride of ownership by the family that runs it. It is located in Lufkin, Texas and has lovely scenery including trees and a pond. This park has everything including large paved pull-through sites with 30/50 amp. Each site has a grassy area and picnic table. There is a great pool and outdoor park area to play in. Check out this KOA if you are in the Lufkin area. A true gem! 😉👍🏻💗

    Hanks Creek

    Really only for day trippers or RVs

    Nice 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.

    Rusk KOA

    Great spot for the kiddos!

    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)

Bathrooms are always clean and showers are private.

    Superb Again

    Thank you for sharing this review! It’s always helpful to get insights before booking a stay. While I’m here, I thought I'd mention that if you're looking for some good tunes to listen to during your trip, you might want to check out Spotify Premium Apkz. It’s a great way to access your favorite music without interruptions. Safe travels!
