Lake O' the Pines fishing includes largemouth, spotted, and white bass along with crappie, catfish, and sunfish.

    Caddo Lake State Park Campground

    Pretty but loud

    The facilities were great. Clean and well kept. The site that we stayed at (#34) was too close to the main road and the noise from the cars was so loud, which led to an awful nights sleep. Also there was a cat (seemed like a camp cat) that roamed around all night and that freaked out my dog. The lake itself was fantastic and otherworldly. Absolutely beautiful in early November. Definitely gonna visit again but will not camp here.

    Incredible location!

    I've never seen anything so unique and beautiful as Caddo Lake!! Like being in a movie! The State Park campground is immaculate, staff and hosts are super friendly. Fishing, kayaking, canoeing, boat tours, walking/hiking trails, awesome! Nearby historical town of Jefferson was a quaint day trip or artists, shops and eateries. What a trip! Can't wait to revisit Caddo Lake and all its beauty!

    Quiet Place to Unwind

    Staying at Buckhorn for the weekend. The campground is small, serene, and well maintained. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Some of the waterfront sites have a deck to sit and relax on. The park is very clean. We are enjoying relaxing here.

    Poorly run

    Do not go- booked 3 nights only stayed 2. Only 3 years old, most sites not level. Adult pool is small and dirty. First day lazy river was not running-second day barely moving - had to push ourselves along. Advertise breakfast- not available any of the days we were to be there Entire region is covered in dense trees- they chose to clear cut entire grounds ,zero shade. Cabanas were nice but pricey..

    Fun weekend getaway

    Overall had a great time with four other families on a long weekend. You will need a little side to side leveling for many of the sites. The burger I had at the restaurant was good. Others in our group liked their food as well. Adult pool with the swim up bar was nice and had good service. The lazy river was slow as others have mentioned, but that’s why it’s a “lazy” river. All of the staff was friendly. Will visit again.

    Buffalo Bayou RV Park

    Not what we expected

    Made a reservation via telephone for two days a month in advance, but was not given a site number.When we pulled up to the office there was a note with a telephone number to call, but no answer. I saw a gentleman walking around and it appeared he saw us. After waiting about 10 minutes, I decide to driver further into the park. The gentleman I saw earlier was one of the owners/ managers, I would would have expected him to go to the office to meet the newly arriving guests. I will say that he was friendly enough and later, his wife stopped by to collect the fee and she too was friendly. The park itself has full hook ups and is on the banks of the bayou. The campground require you to sign a waiver because of the water moccasins from the bayou and because of the potential of falling tree limbs. The. Campground is pretty sandy so leveling may be problematic for big rigs. The do allow long term guests to store all kinds of equipment and gear, the site next to us look like a junk yard. Our fellow campers seemed friendly enough with the gentleman on the other side from the junk yard introducing himself.

    STATE PARK NEXT TO POWER PLANT

    Once again our timing was great as this state park was only about 1/4 full. Sites were level and as with most SP's, plenty of room. Nice wooded park, lots of deer and a nice island to hike on. Power plant isn't all that bad, but then again we weren't right on the water where you would be able to hear it more. Nice facilities.

    Great view and large area for kids to play.

    Had a fun weekend here with our two kids. Lots of room around this campsite for the kids to ride bikes and play without being in another site. This site is very close to bathrooms and dumpster. The boat ramp dock is just a short walk away. We will definitely stay again.

    Rustic and great feel.

    If u want a true rustic feel, this is it. The host was more than willing to answer any questions and was very responsive. Allowed us to cut little trees down to use for firewood. The little creek is nice to listen to in the evening. Just down the road to the boat ramp

    Tyler State Park Campground

    Quiet, lovely campground. Excellent park staff.

    We drove from NWArkansas the end of January to purchase a conversion van in Tyler, but towed our 19-foot Coleman camper just in case the van didn't work out, at least we'd have a nice camping trip! We stayed in a pull-though space (#340) which was large enough for our Tundra, the Coleman, AND our newly acquired 2000 E-350 Sportsmobile Van. 

    The campsites were quiet (except for our dogs, who loved the racoons and deer...sorry!!) and well maintained. Beautiful walk around the lake to watch the sunrise. The facilities are standard state park facilities...everything worked. One toilet was a mess, but that wasn't the rangers' fault. One would think women would be more mindful of the mess they make. 

    Note that the gift shop isn't open on Tuesday/Wednesdays, so if you want a head badge for your walking stick, you can purchase one at the ranger station CASH ONLY.  Highly recommend this park.

    Hidden Gem

    We stayed late fall of '23 for about a week. This place was wonderful. Our site had water and 50 amp service. There was a dump station that was easy to get to and maintained. The bath house was very clean but dated. The showers were clean. There was a nice playground, public boat launch and I think there was an old unmaintained beach. Plenty of access to the lake that had amazing sunsets. The lake is large and dotted with oil derricks. 

    We got to play disc golf at their very nice public (free) 18 hole course. I've been carrying around the discs for years and never got to play. Now I'm hooked!

    At double the price it was a bargain. We'll definitely stop again if we get through the area.

    Very bad

    I live across from this campground and I recently drove through this place but it’s drug infested and nothing but old campers and full timers in this park. Used to be nice but the restaurant is closed and u are on the red river. I wouldn’t stay here it needs to be cleaned up

    Great location, clean and safe

    This park is in a perfect spot on the outskirts of town. It’s really quiet, has a pond, dog park, walking trail and the road to town is beautiful. It’s only about 5 to 10 minutes from a fairly new shopping center and restaurants. Has a laundry facility on site. Everything is super clean. Anthony is great to work with and is very helpful. Neighbors are friendly and courteous. Wish we could stay longer.
