Nice place to dispersed camp
Nice mowed area on river/lake. Bumpy dirt road to arrive. Several locals in and out for recreation.

Sometimes the negative outweighs the positives! It isn’t about you- it is about Twin Lakes!
Mixed Thoughts: Disappointing, “Looks Nice,” and “Oh Yeah, That Part Was Good.”
Sometimes the negative outweighs the positives!
We reserved party space at Twin Lakes Tiny Home & RV Park in Mount Pleasant and rented Little House #1. The property has potential, but unfortunately our experience fell far short.
First, don’t assume Little House #1 is actually at the lake’s edge based on the professional site map. It wasn’t where we expected. Also, the office closes at 6 PM Friday, which is important when you need a key.
The people working on-site seemed nice and appeared to be trying. The bigger problems were the accommodations and lack of follow-through.
The main AC struggled to cool the house below 85+ degrees. The master bedroom AC worked, so we left that door open trying to help cool the rest of the house. The loft where some of our six kids were staying was especially hot.
Then came the insects.
The first night, our kids had ants in their beds. To their credit, someone arrived within about an hour, sprayed and changed the sheets. Unfortunately, that was basically the last maintenance assistance we received.
By the second day, the ants were back. One of us also received a nasty spider bite in the kitchen. After being away during the day, we returned to find the house even less cooled than before.
We repeatedly called the voicemail and text line seeking assistance. No response.
Before dark on the second night, we finally packed up and left.
Sunday morning, someone identifying himself as the General Manager called, apologized and said someone would contact us within a day or so to discuss the problems.
I waited a week. Nothing.
I even sent another message explaining that I write honest reviews and wanted to give management an opportunity to respond concerning our paid stay. Still nothing.
There ARE positives. The property looks nice and has potential. The party area worked for our gathering, and the staff we encountered seemed pleasant.
However, read the event agreement carefully. There are numerous circumstances where your card can be charged—someone uses a paddle boat, stays beyond the permitted time, furniture isn’t returned as required, etc. I understand rules and holding guests accountable. I simply wish we had experienced that same level of accountability when the property failed to provide what we paid for.
We paid for a weekend getaway but dealt with inadequate AC, ants in the children’s beds, a spider bite, unanswered requests for help, an early departure and a promised management follow-up that never happened.
There really is potential here, and I hope they address these issues.
Unfortunately, based on our experience, I cannot recommend staying here.
I sincerely hope your experience is different.

Clear Spring
Beautiful campground
The campground is beautiful with sites overlooking the water.
jaicie B.TravelerPiney Point
Small, quiet and cute.
We stayed last week in July. Our spot has NO shade but is a pull through. Becca at the check in was willing to accommodate a site change for shade but we didnt want to move multiple times. Starlink worked, "yard" is spacious and proximity to water is nice. View unobstructed is great. Fire pit, grill and rock table. There are a group of trees 20 yards from the spot towards the water that would be nice for chairs or hammock.

Beautiful State Park
Stopped here on a motorcycle trip without a reservation and was met by the camp host , who was super friendly and helpful. Facilities are clean and well managed. The sites are spacious.

Wildlife viewing: Deer sightings are common throughout the area's campgrounds. One camper at Rocky Point reports, "Pulling in, we were welcomed by a herd of 23 deer grazing in the common areas." Early mornings and evenings provide the best wildlife viewing opportunities.
What campers like
Private bathrooms: Texarkana RV Park receives praise for its bathroom facilities. "They have great bathrooms. They are large and extremely well taken care of. The shower, sink and toilet are all in one locked room," reports a visitor at Texarkana RV Park & Event Center.
Lake views: Many sites at Rocky Point offer unobstructed water views. A camper notes, "Most of the spots have some of the best views you have ever seen." The campground features both interior and exterior sites, with exterior sites generally offering more space and better views.
Level sites: Sunrise RV Park provides well-maintained, level sites. "Excellent staff who are accommodating. One night, full hookups was less than $40. Nice site. Close to a Pilot gas station and I-30," shares a recent visitor. Level sites minimize setup time and make for easier overnight stays.
What you should know
Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly between campgrounds. At Forest Lake RV Park, some campers report issues with ants and limited cell service. Another consideration is proximity to noise sources, with one review noting: "Very loud and very close train nearby."
Reservation requirements: Many campgrounds in the region require advance reservations, especially Clear Spring. "Remember to book in advance online! They won't let you in without an online reservation and cell coverage is minimal," warns a camper at Forest Lake RV Park.
Seasonal beach access: Water levels fluctuate seasonally, affecting beach areas. "While we were there the beach was flooded and, unfortunately, there was not anywhere else to swim as the perimeter of the park is lined with large rocks," reports a Rocky Point visitor.
Tips for camping with families
Playground options: Several campgrounds offer kid-friendly facilities. "Nice playground for those with kids," notes a review for Piney Point. Another camper states Rocky Point is "Very kid friendly and pet friendly" with a "Wonderful playground for the kids."
Swimming considerations: Beach areas may close depending on water levels and seasonal conditions. "They have a pool and it is pet friendly," notes a Sunrise RV Park visitor, offering an alternative when lake swimming isn't available.
Safety measures: Atlanta State Park Campground provides a safer environment for families, with one camper noting it's "nestled back in a cove by the lake and far away from the hustle of the large and small cities and towns." The more secluded location reduces traffic and provides a more controlled environment.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: Choose exterior sites when possible at multiple campgrounds. At Piney Point, "Exterior sites are larger than the interior," reports a camper. This pattern holds true at several area campgrounds.
Leveling requirements: Site conditions vary even within the same campground. At Clear Spring, a visitor notes, "Not all sites are level, but doable. A loop, not all sites are level, but doable. Other loops appear to have sites that are more level." Bring leveling blocks even at campgrounds advertising level sites.
Full hookup availability: Piney Point has limited full hookup sites. "Most sites are water and electric but there may be some with full hookups. If not, there is a dump station," explains a camper, highlighting the importance of checking specific site amenities when booking.
