    Great Park

    This is a parish ran park that is very well maintained. Security measures are excellent. The park is shaded and all sites are either lake side or almost. There are back-in and pull-through sites. Not all of the park is FHU but they have three pull through dumps. There is a new bathhouse that is very clean and requires a code to be entered on a keypad for entry. There is a small wildlife sanctuary (zoo but no petting) and free roaming peacocks. Good fishing from the docks or by boat. The park is close to shopping, casinos, and restaurants. Love this park.

    Nice and dark for star gazing

    We, unfortunately, only got to spend one night here on our way through the area but enjoyed some great stargazing due to the park being quite dark.

    We appreciated electric and water being at the campsite, especially for only $14 per night.

    The only thing negative we noticed during our very short stay was that while the bathrooms were clean, they seemed old and small. Men and women each had just one shower stall and it was behind only a shower curtain in the main restroom area. (We were in the Wilkins Creek Loop.)

    Staff was friendly and welcoming. We'd like to come back and explore the area more when we have time.

    Daingerfield State Park Campground

    Clear, calm lake bordered by towering pines

    This park is easily in our Top 3 in the Texas State Parks system. It's a small park, but a little slice of heaven. Towering pine trees grow right up to the waters' edge. So peaceful. Donna, my wife, will often sit and gaze over the water. 

    The park is neat and tidy, and the bathrooms have always been clean. There are several picnic tables by the lake, a swim out platform, kayaks, paddleboats, a fishing pier, and a few swings on the playground. We typically visit during the week, so it's always been pretty quiet. And if you need supplies, there's a Brookshire's grocery nearby(only a few miles away). One trip, we decided to fish and grabbed bait from the Ace Hardware in town. 

    We love laying in our hammocks, watching the pines sway, and listening to the birds sing. In the warmer months, we swim and splash around the floating platform. And with a fire pit at every site, s'mores are a given each night(so long as there's no burn ban). 

    There's a short trail that circles the lake(about 2.5 miles). We do it EVERY trip. It's a beautiful and easy hike. Take a picnic and make your way to the CCC picnic area on the lake's other side. There will be a spot where you can enjoy your lunch, looking back across the water.(But don't let your dog grab your PB&J when you're not looking or you'll be hungry on the way back.)

    Not impressed

    Made reservations for a back in site. Upon check in, nobody was in the office. Called the number on the door and was directed to park in the pull-through immediately at the entrance. Gate is broken and doesn’t close, nobody at the check in, RIGHT off the highway. Didn’t feel safe. Very loud. Playground area was very old and not maintained. “Dog park” was a 6ft x 6ft chain link square. Lots of permanent lots that are kind of gross. There is a new Love’s hookup & Sunrise RV parks nearby— will be using those in the future! Will not be back.

    PROS 

    Saved $42 With TX STATE PARK PASS

    Some highway noises. 

    Two PARK HOSTS occupy sites in Woodpecker Hollow. That reduces full hook up sites to 6. One of those sites were used as a temporary dump station due to out-of-service park dump station 

    Woodpecker Hollow toilet/shower facility needs some deep cleaning 

    11 windows in Woodpecker Hollow women’s toilet/shower and only 4 were open. Camp host said rest of windows were painted shut.  Floors were continuously wet and slippery. What a mess! This place needs a fan or two.

    I'd give 10 stars if I could

    We rolled in without a reservation which led to a wonderful interaction with the gate people. My dog came in as well to entertain them while I selected a site.

    I had the pick of many because it was February. I loved the spaciousness of each site leaving a lot of room between you and your neighbors.

    The bathhouse was immaculately clean. I went in expecting a typical park shower room with spiders or bugs. There were NONE. The bathhouse was heated and a welcome chance to shower in something other than a matchbox.

    I really can't recommend enough.

    Perfect getaway close from home

    My husband and I just started our camping adventures so we are not big connoisseurs on the “campgrounds of America” topic yet, but we were impressed by this State Park. Peaceful, beautiful trees surrounding you at all times, great campgrounds and all facilities were super clean at all times! There are a couple hiking trails but they are mainly easy walks. Is a great place to go relax, walk by the lake and hang out making S’mores! We live in Dallas so its only 2hrs away from home so is a perfect weekend getaway. 🏕🥰🍁

    4 camp hosts 

    Good night sky viewing in BIG PINE

    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


Guide to Queen City

Near Queen City, Texas, multiple campgrounds offer sites for tent, RV, and cabin stays across the piney woods region where elevations range from 300-400 feet. The area experiences hot, humid summers with temperatures often exceeding 90°F, while winter nights can drop below freezing. Most campgrounds in this region span across the Texas-Arkansas-Louisiana border within a 50-mile radius of Queen City.

What to do

Paddle the cypress trails: At Caddo Lake State Park Campground, visitors can explore the waterways surrounding the only natural lake in Texas. "Kayaking this area was BEAUTIFUL and just unforgettable from our trip to this part of the state. You get to camp among the trees and spanish moss and water," noted one camper. The park rents canoes and provides boat ramp access for personal watercraft.

Hike through pine forests: Multiple trail systems wind through Atlanta State Park Campground with varying difficulty levels. A visitor reported, "Trails are beautiful and if you piece them together can be challenging. This park is very well maintained. I saw a few trail signs that were brand new and another trail is closed for maintenance." Many trails connect, allowing for customized routes ranging from 1-3 miles.

Wildlife viewing: Several parks feature wildlife sanctuaries and natural habitats. Cypress Black Bayou Recreation Area includes a small zoo and free-roaming peacocks. "There is much to do at this park. Trails, swimming, boating, fishing, small zoo and museum. Very clean. Newly renovated," shares a visitor who frequents the park.

What campers like

Lake access and beaches: Daingerfield State Park Campground provides swimming areas with sandy beaches alongside fishing opportunities. "Great campsite. Beautiful tall piney woods. Clean, well maintained campsites, restrooms, park and lakeside facilities. Gorgeous lake for our boys to practice canoeing and kayaking skills. Nice looking swimming area," writes one family camper.

Clean, modern bathroom facilities: Many campgrounds prioritize sanitation in their shower buildings. At Cypress Black Bayou, "The bathhouse was immaculately clean. I went in expecting a typical park shower room with spiders or bugs. There were NONE. The bathhouse was heated and a welcome chance to shower in something other than a matchbox."

Security and quiet environment: Secured campgrounds provide peace of mind. "Security measures are excellent. The park is shaded and all sites are either lake side or almost. There are back-in and pull-through sites," notes a visitor about the Cypress Black Bayou area, highlighting the balance of safety and natural setting.

What you should know

Weather challenges: The region experiences extreme seasonal variations. Summer camping requires preparation for intense heat and insects. "I would prep for muddy feet and bugs galore!" warns a camper at Atlanta State Park. Springtime often brings flooding concerns, particularly at waterfront sites.

Accessibility varies by season: Many parks operate year-round but with seasonal limitations. In winter, some facilities close partially. One visitor to Cypress Black Bayou noted, "Called to inquire on tent/dispersed camping on 1.14.21 and was told the park is currently closed except for 'certified' RV spots."

Reservation requirements: Advanced booking is essential, particularly for Buffalo Bayou RV Park, which offers limited yurt camping near Queen City, Texas. "Made a reservation via telephone for two days a month in advance, but was not given a site number," reports one camper, highlighting the need for clear communication when booking specialized accommodations.

Tips for camping with families

Choose sites with playground access: Texarkana RV Park & Event Center offers family-friendly amenities. "This place was great! Very clean and a lot of activities for families!" notes one visitor. The playground area provides recreational options for younger campers, though some visitors mention the equipment needs updating.

Consider noise factors: Road proximity affects sleep quality at several campgrounds. A visitor to Caddo Lake State Park mentioned, "The big turn off for me on this park is that, despite its beauty, there is incessant road noise that you hear from every campsite." Sites farther from main roads offer a quieter experience for families with light sleepers.

Look for educational opportunities: Parks with nature centers provide learning experiences. At Daingerfield, families can explore fall foliage during seasonal changes. "I stopped at Daingerfield State Park on my way to Arkansas... I got there after dark and left around 9am so I wasn't able to enjoy the park but it was beautiful with all the fall colors," reported one camper.

Tips from RVers

Site selection considerations: At White Cliffs Park, RV campers should note pad width. "Site 14. Clean park, clean bathrooms, level pad, a little narrow, picnic table, bbq pit, and a large hook to hang stuff," reported a visitor. Many campgrounds feature uneven terrain requiring leveling equipment.

Hookup placement issues: Utility connections often require extension cords or longer hoses. At White Cliffs, a camper noted, "The water and power were across the pad which was not a big deal but we did not have a long enough extension cord to reach the tent for the air mattress." RVers should bring additional length for all connections.

Site spacing varies dramatically: Atlanta State Park offers generous spacing between rigs. "Spaces are spread out and loads and loads of pull through sites if that's your thing," notes a visitor. Meanwhile, at Texarkana RV Park, "Most sites are pull-thru and plenty long, but narrow. Beware of your slide placement before parking, as site poles may be in the way of a slide fully opening."
