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
Clean, plenty of spaces, tents and RV’s. Nice fire pit. Nice lake view and water fun!
This may very well be the cheapest lakefront real estate in Texas. You simply cannot beat $15/night right on the water! Very quiet, and never crowded (in November). Decent cell signal, and great reception on my Transistor/Weather radio.
Well maintained, friendly staff, awesomely hot showers, pretty lake.
Can hear cars from the road outside the park :(
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.
 We were in site 33 on the water’s edge. The sites are nicely spaced.
Very quiet and relaxing park. Highly recommended
This is one of my top favorite State Parks in Texas. It a bonus that it's reasonably close to home.
Nice Army Corps campground on the bayou. Great trails, boat ramp, bank fishing and wildlife observation. Well maintained.
This Park is on the edge of being a 5 STAR park...

Site 62 12 ft wide concrete parking pad level

Metal fire ring(no cooking grate)
Pedestal BBQ grill Campsite utility hook-ups in good condition with no problems encountered

CONS
Paid$3.50 reservation fee for completing 100% on-line reservation
On Day#2 of our stay, a neighbor camper came to us to inform us that the park manager just stopped by his site(we were at our site and saw him) to let him know there was a burn ban established for the next 7 days and that he need to spread the word to other campers. Two days later we saw a small burn ban sign posted at the toilet/shower facility. Communicating this crucial information needs improved. Perhaps posting signs throughout the park, especially at the entrance.
Trip hazard on the picnic table concrete where someone cut the chains that held the table in place
Numerous dogs roaming…no leash and no human
Absolutely no privacy from any other campsite as there is no vegetation between campsites
No evening trash pickup so have to store trash created by evening cooking
Gate was not closed overnight
Camp store and water craft rental closed Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
No wildlife sightings
No park WIFI
No camp hosts
3 bars TMOBILE in A3 campground with no problems live-streaming with TMOBILE hotspot device
Had nice spot right by the water. Kayaked by several gators. Very serene and beautiful park. Site was treed and gorgeous.
Definitely bring bug spray for the mosquitos.
The park was very well laid out. Roads seem to have been recently repaved as well as the RV spots. We arrived quite late and it was extremely difficult to find out spot because of the lack of lights. Bathrooms are okay, a little cramped but decently clean, no AC though. Bugs were a little bad in the evenings. The spot we stayed at had a beautiful view of the water and a lot of space. We were able to get 3-4 bars of service with Verizon and about 50-60 Mbps.
All the RV pads are nice concrete pads, with ample space between sites. Piney Shores is the best loop with full hookups and nice view of the lake.
The spots are a good distance from each other and have lots of trees
Loved our time at this park. Site was spacious though couldn’t get right on the water. Friendly neighbors and staff. Store on site. Fishing for catfish from the bank was great.
We stayed in a tent at site 124. It was crazy windy when we were setting up our tent. This part of the park was really windy for two of the three days, but we still had a great time. Typical, nice Texas State Park. Nice sites. Enjoyed the hiking on wide trails. They did not rent canoes or kayaks because of the winds.
We enjoyed the trails, shade tree, rock Pier, and kayak opportunities.
Nice park with some nice, short, well maintained trails. Not much to do in town, a few shops.
Lovely older park. Lots of happy family activities.
The camping spots were easy to set up in with access to water and electricity. The only downside was that the camping spot we were in was really close to the other sites so you'll have very little privacy. The camp store was run by friendly helpful people and the facilities were clean. Just be aware that during October there is a group that camps there yearly that can get quite loud.
Very spacious and well kept. Will definitely stay here again.
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.
Great view of the lake, easy access to put kayaks in the water. Park hosts patrol regularly. Firewood available for sale on an honor system fir $1 per log.
If you like quiet, fishing, and trees this campground is for you. Full hookups, friendly staff, laundry, and showers.
This place is awesome! I’ve never seems so much wildlife! Gators and great fishing! So much to see and do! Morning runs won’t disappoint!
Enjoyed our time here
This is a beautiful campground. We are at spot #24, but it’s looks like every site is awesome. They have a little store on site. The project is clean and well maintained. We will definitely come back.
