We stayed at Boomtown for a midway resting point from New Orleans to Houston. I am so glad we chose this park. It is right off interstate 10 so for us it was so easy to get on and off when arriving/leaving. The park is very clean, and easy to settle in to your spot. We stayed at lot 107 and had a great view of the park and the pool, along with easy access to the dog park. Would highly recommend!
Getting to the park can be difficult if you are arriving after the sun goes down. Once you get off the interstate there is construction going on, there was an exit sign that was not an exit at all. I was very lucky that I did not crash! Texas State Parks charge an entrance fee even when you are camping. However, the do offer several Park Passes that are FREE or a small charge for Seniors, Disabled persons, Veterans and Gold Star Family members. I now have a lifetime pass as a Disabled Veteran and they refunded the entrance fee that I paid when I made the reservation.
The campground is not big but all sites have water and electric with a dump station. Some of the sites are elevated so if you are tent camping you have to haul up your stuff. The site I had needed more that the 50' electric cord that I usually use. Luckly I had another cord so I could get electric to tent. Had to use bungee cords and duck tape to stake the tent cement under the gravel again. The bathhouse is clean and has hot showers. There are alot of water activities nice hiking trails.
We spent two nights here. The campground is a nice campground, but I feel the spaces are pretty close together for a state park. No trees or privacy between several of them. Our space #12 was level. Park did have a nice shower house as well as some nice hiking trails and the staff was extremely courteous.
Nice park. Beautiful trees. Site 301 is pull through with plenty of room for 5Th wheel. Near water and kayak launch.
Came here overnight. Very nice place. Even pads, clean family environment. We were across from pool in the pull thru for big rigs. There's a dog area. Showers and laundry available. Beaumont is within 5 miles.
It is centrally located on big sam for great fishing , nice clean
I just have to say, this is the best place to stay! I love playing games here with my friends, especially using WorldBox premium Apk. It’s an amazing experience every time
Great park if you want to get outside, but still want access to civilization.
Park is somewhat of a mix between wetland and forest. While this is an awesome ecosystem with lots to see and explore - take bug spray! Especially if going in May - when the Horseflies are out. We made the mistake of forgoing the Off and got eaten alive. This is our fault, and not the parks, though.
The park is conveniently located just outside of Beaumont. In fact, you may feel like you haven’t left the city until you are there. This can be helpful if you want to grab a bite and not cook, or if you run short of supplies. I would recommend this park especially for someone new to camping.
