    Daingerfield State Park Campground

    Lots of FHU Sites

    Reserved on-line 152 days prior to arrival. 

    Pros 

    Pristine clean restroom/showerhouse. Seemed recently renovated 

    BIG PINE camping area only big rig friendly(longer than 20 ft) out of 40 FHU sites. Big Pine, Dogwood and Mountain View Campgrounds FHU so 40 FHU sites with no park dump station. 

    Aluminum picnic table and fire ring with cooking grate 

    Very quiet campground except for highway and train noise 

    4 camp hosts 

    Good night sky viewing in BIG PINE 

    Good view of lake in BIG PINE 

    Privacy from side neighbors 

    No leveling required from side-to-side 

    Asphalt parking pad heaved various places due to tree roots creating numerous tripping hazard 

    Campsite utility hook-ups in good condition with no problems encountered 

    Security gate that closes overnight 

    No street lights in BIG PINE 

    Campsite and entrance fee discount with Texas State Park Pass 

    Not charged a fee to make my own on-line reservation 

    CONS 

    Most FHU sites (other than BIG PINE) are extremely short in length. Barely room for single axle TT, so need to review site details carefully 

    Site 8 had an extreme amount of above ground roots causing tripping hazard

    Picnic table approx 50 feet from Site 8 parking pad

    Highway and train noise

    BIG PINE sites barely off campground road, so therefore no privacy from campers across the road

    Restroom/shower facility not heated

    No lantern pole

    No wildlife sightings

    No park Wifi

    1 bar AT&T in BIG PINE

    Kelly Creek Park

    Beautiful and Quiet, but...

    1/19/23- 1/26/23: We stayed one week and it was a quiet and enjoyable campground at a reasonable price, but it still has some misgivings. 

    Good Points: The park was mostly empty and very quiet. The views of the lake are particularly nice. The sites are grass(good for dryer weather) and spread reasonably apart for privacy. 30A electric, fresh water, picnic tables, Verizon 4G: 4-bars with 4.8Mbps(down) and 3Mbps(up) can be found here. 

    Other Points: 

    * Rainy days completely saturates the grass with large puddles in the uneven areas; while walking to the office I discovered that the road had unavoidable puddles too. 

    * 40 of the 75 sites have sewer; site#36 does not. Those with sewer were uncapped PVC pipes stubbed out of the ground. 

    * Pricing: On Campendium, the facility is listed as Army Corps Of Engineers(COE) with a daily rate of$20. Naturally, with a Senior Lifetime Pass I expected to get a spot for$10/night. No so. The owner Leon Jennings(903-585-5453) said that it is a privately run(and leased) campground and the rate is$20(also posted in the office). After I said that I’d move on to a COE site he offered a spot for$13/night matching what the Clear Springs Park campground(COE) nearby would charge me. Rates on Campendium, the Wright Patman Lake website, and the RoverPass list at$20,$13, and$17 respectively. My interpretation is that the real rates are $17 (30A) and $20 (50A). I didn't see a distinction between sewer or no sewer sites. 

    * Odor: There can be a sewer-like odor that I'm told is coming from a paper mill in New Boston. 

    * Un-level sites: The sites are rolling grass hills; it is possible to park in a direction that is even (L/R) but may take some finesse. 

    * The dump station is a PVC pipe protruding diagonally from the grassy ground across from the office and there is no water spigot for cleanup. I pulled the diagonal pipe out and inserted the dump hose directly into the drain below grass level. After dumping, be sure to use your gray-water to flush your dump hose. 

    Summary: The owner and staff are very nice and accommodating. However,$13 at the Clear Springs Park campground would have provided level sites with good drainage, a proper dump station, and perhaps less odor from the paper mill.

    Rocky Point(wright Patman Dam)

    Beautiful, spacious and quiet!

    We were in site B5 (one of 15 sites out of 124 that have FHU), for 12 days in September and October 2020. This site was not very level but we had great views of the lake out the front and side of our MH. It had a grill with table, picnic table and a fire ring. The sites are nicely sized, well-spaced apart and angled, providing nice privacy. This is our second time visiting this CG because we enjoyed it last year. It’s a fairly quiet campground– even the weekend partiers quieted down around 10ish. There is no WiFi or cable, Verizon 4G was 3-4 bars, 8 OTA channels. We did not use the bathrooms. The Park Hosts that arrived in October were very friendly. Beautiful sunsets on site B5!

    Beavers Bend State Park Campground

    Beavers Bend

    This campground is nothing spectacular but I love it anyway; I just have really great memories being here. The campgrounds are pretty primitive, you have a fire ring and picnic table, vault toilets where we stayed. We had close access to the river from the campground, hence the photos. We got poured on here, to the point that we had to dig out a moat so that water would not flood the tent; it was a blast. The next day we went canoeing down the slow moving river which was also great. I like this campground and hope to return soon.
