    Toledo Bend Recreation Site - MILITARY

    Family Friendly, prime fishing location.

    The Army Recreation sight managed by MWR is a very well run campground and boat launch. Making a reservation was easy, and the lady i made the reservation with initially even called to follow up when the weather turned ugly.

    Our stay was in one of their Yurts. Though they do have cabins as well as primitive camping options. The yurt was supplied with two bunks, the bottoms being a a full size with the top bunks being twins. Amenities included heating and air conditioning as well as a mini fridge, keurig, and a couple of small drawers and a lamp. The only real complaint i can say i had was some of the linoleum tile was loose inside. Other than that, the yurt was an interesting cross between cabin and tent.

    Fishing is also very available, as well as playground, boat launch, boat rentals and R.V. accommodations as well.

    We may just go back and try a cabin next time as the temperatures have been getting cold here.

    Also be aware, there is a one time pet fee when staying in the cabins and yurts.

    Martin Dies, Jr. State Park Campground

    Great place...bad drainage

    We loved our visit to Martin Dies! Coming from Houston it wasn't a long drive, and we enjoyed the greenery. The day we went, we were literally the only people there. I think this place is a bit of a hidden gem. Our cabin was very nice and spacious and air conditioned. There is fishing and a playground and bathrooms close by. The downside? It rained really hard and the whole place flooded up. Huge pools of water everywhere. We ended up leaving early because of it. But besides that, awesome spot!

    Ragtown Campground

    Great Spot

    This is a nice, relatively secluded campsite on the Sabine River / Toledo Bend Reservoir area. Access is easy as it is a mix of hard packed gravel and paved roads, with designated parking for each campsite. Sites are well designed with grills, fire pits, and ample flat space for tents. The bugs were intense but that's what you get in East Texas in the summer, but overall it's a good spot. They are currently making improvements to the area so there is some construction and some closed sites, but we visited on the weekend and no one was working.

    COE Sam Rayburn Reservoir San Augustine Park

    Clean, quiet, spacious, and great lake views

    1/26/23-1/30/23- This is a great COE campsite that is spacious, clean, quiet, and site#63 has lake views on 3 sides. A picnic table, fire-pit, lantern post, 30A electric, and water are provided. This is a back-in site that slopes significantly to the rear(lake side) though. I needed to lower the front of my 34’ fifth wheel trailer 16” to level it; L/R leveling was reasonable needing 1/2” on the right side. The grassy area around the site would be great for outdoor games and the water access would be great to fish from shore, boat access to the site, or swimming. The staff were very congenial and the dump station is conveniently located on the right side just before exiting the campground. Verizon 4G was 4-bars with 20Mbps download and 2Mbps upload speeds. I paid$13/night with my Interagency Senior Pass. Too bad that it was rainy most of the weekend and we didn’t have nicer weather.

    Martin Dies, Jr. State Park Campground

    Calm

    Campsites are modern, many have a waterfront view. The campsites are well shaded by trees, all have fire pits. Many sites have water and electric and facilities are easily accessed.

    There are many things to do at the state park that are appropriate for all ages. Hiking trails are well shaded and not terribly difficult. Kayaks and canoes are available to rent, there are water trails mapped as well for those who enjoy boating. There are programs available for children as well.

    The park is not far from town so there are many things to do nearby as well.

    Martin Dies, Jr. State Park Campground

    Enjoyed trees and the gator!

    702 acre park, many sites on slews off a very large lake. We were in spot 308 across from the restroom and showers. Wide view of the water. $16 a night with 2nd night half off with a TX State Park Pass. Power, water, table, fire pit, wood $1 per piece. Parking spot was not level but other spots were. Verizon service was good. Lots of trees in the camp and in the water. Several trails. Our slew was patrolled by an alligator who was awesome to see. They have no problems with their gators.

    Martin Dies, Jr. State Park Campground

    Amazing

    Thia camp ground is owned and managed by Texas Parks and Wildlife. It is well maintained and kept. The RV camp sites are plenty big and the tent sites are big enough to pitch the large multi person cabin tents. The fishing is a amazing and the store is cool.

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.
