We had a wonderful 1 night stay camping here! When the new owners took over, they did change the name to "Made in the Shade" so if you go to the website listed here it will reroute you to the correct page!
My partner is cycling the country and this is a great spot to stop for the night on the Southern Tier Bike route. We loved socializing with the owners & locals and others staying at the park, cooling off in the [well-kept] pool, and appreciated the good water pressure of the showers! 100% recommend. Thanks again for everything!
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.
Campsites will be a great ideal for us to play a small world cup together as well as a proper way to relieve stress.
Great 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.

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.
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.
My 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.
Well 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.
The 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
It is a good place to spend 3 nights, unless it thunderstorms. Flash flooding occurs.
Transit sites are level concrete pads. WiFi is pretty much what you expect at an rv park. Bathhouses are ok but a little dated.
No signage for where to camp, roads closed as well as the office. On to the next one.
Stayed one night and was pleasantly surprised with what the park had to offer. Great views of the water a short walk from my stall, fully renovated and clean bathrooms and decent separation between the sites. My site backed onto the highway but wasn’t very loud. I’d stay here again for the affordable price of $26
This place is amazing. The spacing between sites is huge. The lots are. Probably 100 feet. They're almost all I should say. Back inThe closest town is Jasper, which I'll take you. Half an hour to get to so if you need groceries. Bottled water. Propane gas. Get it before you get here.
We went camping with our extended family, fun was had by all. The campground was nice and clean, the host were pleasant, and we enjoyed our weekend. We were in 2 RVs and a Tent.
Right off I-10. Roads inside park are large enough to all rig sizes. Our site had dog poop over it when we arrived so they do not check the sites before you arrive. The pad is buried into the ground which cause hills into the grass. A great way to break an ankle. It also caused a hill for the sewer hose to run uphill. Tire ruts along the pads have not been filled in.
 We were in site 33 on the water’s edge. The sites are nicely spaced.
The spaces are paved with a fire ring, covered picnic table and a lamp post. There’s also what looks like a fish cleaning station, as this site is also a great place to fish from. Love the views!
Beautiful park that just recently changed ownership.
This little RV Park in Winnie Texas is a great spot to overnight or take a few days to rest and organize. Management is friendly and helpful. There are spaces empty so there is plenty of room. There is laundromat and showers although we used neither. There are full hookups with fast internet and cable included. There’s not much to do in Winnie but it was a nice place to rest up before we head back to the beach. Inexpensive.
Easy to get to, we were the only camper here. Some fishermen down on the water during the day but we were the only campers. Our 42’ 5th wheel fit nicely on the gravel patch by the cement picnic table. Only rules are to register (info on the sign, free but you have to call the number) and don’t park on the grass (there were some day use people parked on the grass but they want campers on the gravel) - can’t beat it for free.
Doing a bit of primitive camping. The sites are top notch. Away from any automobile noise. Porta Johns in the parking lot. Showers are a short bike ride away.
This site is a good place to rest and recover for a few days. Most of the people are residents but there were plenty of empty spots. People are friendly and helpful. The washer/dryer area is small and so is the shower. There’s not a lot to see and do which was fine with us as we had been boondocking on the beach and needed to get ourselves and our rv cleaned. It is inexpensive and dog friendly.
Very quiet and relaxing park. Highly recommended
