A Favorite Park of Ours
We have camped here many times over the years. While we have our favorite site, we're starting to try out different spots in the park each visit. This spot is on the "canal" side & at the far end of that stretch, so no neighbors on one side. The site is long & fairly level. There is a slight drop off from the pavement to the picnic table. There are lots of alligators swimming by to watch.

All by myself
Found a spot on the last day of March with a spectacular view a couple hundred feet from the turnaround/sunset view Only know of a couple other campers and they were closer to the entrance. Far as I could tell all of the sites were available... just not occupied. Loved it! Stayed 4 nights of an available 28.

Relaxing, quiet week
Very peaceful. No one bothers you. Restroom/ shower was clean.

Great in between spot
We stopped here between New Orleans and Central Texas. It was pretty low key which we dig, most likely because it’s January. The hosts were friendly and left us to our own devices, but super helpful when we had questions. The only fisherman is our 7 year old, so the kids pond was awesome. The showers were large and the water was hot. Our spot was large and it was a trek to do laundry to Spurger but the scenery was great. Woodville is about 20 minutes away with a wal mart and anything else you’d need. Enjoyable!

Awesome Natural View
The view was amazing. We went tent camping and were recommended spots 10 and 11 for the best experience. However, these spots turned out to be not the best for tents. The roads also need a lot of maintenance as they were very rough.

A Peaceful and Scenic Stay at Cypress Bend State Recreation Area
We really enjoyed our time at Cypress Bend State Recreation Area and were impressed by how calm and well cared for everything felt. The location right along Toledo Bend Lake made mornings and evenings especially relaxing, with beautiful water views all around. Our RV site was spacious and quiet, with easy access to hookups, and the whole area felt safe and uncrowded. The updated beach and fishing pier were definite highlights, and it was nice to see clean facilities throughout the park. It’s a great spot if you’re looking to slow down and enjoy nature without the crowds.

Watch wildlife: Alligator viewing opportunities abound throughout the region. One camper at Magnolia Ridge reported, "Deep into the piney woods and swampy outcrops of B.A. Steinhagen lake, I camped under the shade of a huge magnolia tree alongside very tall pines and oaks.
