    A Quiet Oasis on Cedar Creel Lake

    On the shores of beautiful Cedar Creek Lake in Henderson County, Texas, Shiloh on the Lake is your home away from home for cozy lodging, camping, events, water sports, and nature watching. Located just 1 hour southeast of the D/FW metroplex and 15 minutes from Athens, we are on the western edge of the Piney Woods. A great place to visit, get away from the concrete jungle and unwind.

    From wake boarder to fisherman, from hiker to front-porch bird watcher, you will find your perfect spot on our spacious and wooded 48 acres and nearly 2000 feet of shoreline. .

    What it is and is not? This is a heavily wooded quite place for RVs and those wanting to rent cabins in a more natural setting. It is not a concrete pad, open area with turf.

    A great place for couples looking to get away, families, and reunions. The kids and pets will really enjoy their time at Shiloh.
