If looking to be near a campground but still out on your own then this is the place. I got lucky enough had the place to myself for almost 2 weeks, give or take the few groups that tried to tough the biting fish. I will share a tip. They seem to sit dormant at 10pm and 3am for a hour each. No biting. Please clean behind as you found it.

Beautifal long flat beach. Park folks were awesome in our lat minute camp ascurrsion. We ended up sleep in truck with really no camp stuff. They gave us hurricane food and ice packs in big bundle. Kindest thing done for us in quite some time. Keeps me a continued camper. There is also a little store by entrance of park b4 come in. He is a kind person also. The folks here make the park what it is. Serene.

One of our most favorite regular places to visit. It is awesome for just the day or to camp. It is a relaxed atmosphere here. As long as you dont cause a fuss you dont have one. There is plenty to explore, to do, to see, to find. There is a beached swimming area. Behind it is a explorable water trail that goes forever. There is stoned created waterfall. The beached pond is big enough to share for fishing away from swimmers. Down from the waterfall stoned way leads to a small pool that families gather with little ones. Places where on hot days can put out fokdable chairs in the water. If you continue their our routed canyons to explore with two more pools to relax or jump into with miles more of creek to explore. Top it off there is a small cemetary with a civil war vet buried in it. You can hike to the famous sawmill or just ride bikes. Thats just for a small list. There used to be a rope swing but i gather it wasnt being appreciated as it should of been and has since been removed.

Went for the weekend last month now we are coming back for the whole month of October! Very clean maintained small campgrounds! Bathrooms fair enough for low traffic and close enough for convenience. Although everything was amazing clean restrooms and showers we wish it was more clear where the showers were they were not on the map trying to find them at night was interesting
Traveler
Clean, plenty of spaces, tents and RV’s. Nice fire pit. Nice lake view and water fun!

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.
ScoutCampsites will be a great ideal for us to play a small world cup together as well as a proper way to relieve stress.

GuideGreat stop along our way. Nice staff. Clean bathrooms. Good hiking and biking trails. Campspots are well wooded. A little wet this time of year but to be expected.

I booked my stay and called ahead that we would be arriving late.
It had rained like 4 inches the night before and the 2.5 mile old logging dirt road to get there was very nasty but doable.
I arrived around 10:30 pm. I found the office but it was all dark & locked. There was a recreation room I guess next door that wasn’t locked but no maps or signs or anything useful that I could see. I had no clue where to go or what my site number was supposed to be. My email confirmation from “The Dyrt” was all I had and it made me think maybe I was supposed to be at site number 8 by stating “No. of sites: 8”
I called & texted but got no response other than an automated text asking to text me back later.
I walked around in the woods in the dark with a flashlight & found site number 8 but it only had a 30amp hookup.
I drove and walked around looking for an empty spot with 50 amp service.
I attempted to try and stay at site 81 but again, no 50amp service.
I have severe sleep apnea so power is a must. If I had brought a 30 amp to 50 amp adapter then maybe I could have made it work.
After fighting and looking and attempting to call & text, I finally left and went to Jasper to get a hotel for the night.
I was very disappointed.
You should tell folks what site you’re putting them in & have a map to find it or at least answer the phone. If late arrival was going to be an issue you should have said something.
I came from Hempstead with 3 kids heading to my mom’s to visit her for the weekend. We were passing through on our way to Natchitoches. If I had known this was going to happen I would have stayed at Log Cabin RV but instead I had to lose about 2 hours, drive way out of the way on a very nasty road only to find that I had no place to stay that I could find. Not to mention end up paying $90 for a crappy room at the Econo Lodge in Jasper since it had truck parking.
Your place looks unique & I may be interested in returning sometime for the music but I guess after hours arrival must not be an option with you because this was a terrible experience.

This location, the hosts, the animals and ponds all place you in a calm cocoon. My dog was thrilled to be allowed of leash. I loved the convenience of having electric and a beautiful pond view.
If you are an animal lover this is an easy 'yes' for a liason to stay.

Very nice lady called prior to our arrival to ask if she could charge our card so she could prepare the packet. When we arrived it was all ready and maybe took 5 minutes. Didn’t use baths or laundry. Park was clean, plenty of length for our 42’ 5th wheel and truck. Hookups were in good spots. The sites are very narrow and pretty close to fellow campers but it was all good.
GuideMy friends and family decided to book this place in late January. We say exactly 3 other people for the entire duration of our 3 day stay.
The sunrise and sunset are some of the best I’ve seen and the water though cold is beautiful and the sounds of loons, mourning doves, and coyotes hand in the air through the day and night.
This camp is quite deep in the middle of nowhere and I could t find any established hiking paths near by but I perhaps could have missed them.
Park host is super vigilant so if you feel like getting into some trouble, I’d look for another campsite instead of this one.
ScoutLoved our off the grid stay by the pond with goats, puppies, pigs, a cat and chickens!
TravelerWell maintained, friendly staff, awesomely hot showers, pretty lake.
Can hear cars from the road outside the park :(

Would be 5 stars except it's close enough to the road that you get traffic noise. I camped early January and was the only tent camper, quite enjoyable. Very pretty lake view and sunsets and sunrise are delightful. Showers are warm, not the hottest, but welcome nontheless.

We loved this campground. Stayed one night on our way to Houston. Then We stayed one more night on our way back home. Site 18 was pretty level and had full hook ups. The campground overall was really very quiet and peaceful. Was approx 2 miles off highway 59. Had a great playground area for kids and we loved walking down to the lake. The lady running the office was super kind and very helpful. If we ever get back to this area again we will be sure to stay for more than one night.
ScoutThe campground caretakers are fantastic! The grounds are consistently well-maintained, with neatly mowed lawns and cleared pine needles. I love the spacious layout of the campsites, and the view of the Rayburn sunset is simply unmatched! Big Shot Boxing

You can rent cabins and rooms at the resort. It also has a dock with boat launches, a cute little store, and a great restaurant with tasty food.
