Best Cabin Camping near Zavalla, TX

Cabins in the Zavalla area feature varying amenities depending on location, with options at Hanks Creek, Jackson Hill Park, and Rayburn RV Hideout. Most provide basic furnishings including beds, tables, and electricity, while more developed sites like Lufkin KOA Journey offer enhanced comfort. "The cabins are small and rustic as you'd expect but very clean. What you'd want since you will be outside enjoying the great outdoors," notes one visitor about Powell's cabins. Bathroom facilities range from private in-cabin restrooms at upscale locations to shared bathhouses at more rustic sites, with some providing hot showers and flushing toilets while others feature more primitive facilities.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Most sites require advance reservations, especially during summer months when lakeside cabins fill quickly. Pet policies vary significantly - Lufkin KOA Journey and Rayburn RV Hideout welcome pets in select cabins, while others prohibit animals entirely. According to reviews, the cabin experience at Shirley Creek Marina is particularly noteworthy: "We absolutely love this park! There are 13 gorgeous cabins for rent! I highly recommend this park!" The cabins at Brookeland/Lake Sam Rayburn KOA offer a more standardized experience typical of KOA properties.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely, with some offering only minimal amenities while others provide refrigerators, microwaves, and cooking surfaces. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, Martin Dies State Park cabins provide adequate cooking facilities but visitors should bring their own cooking utensils and supplies. Several locations including Lufkin KOA and Brookeland KOA feature on-site stores with basic provisions, though selection is limited. Cabins at Hanks Creek are situated near boat ramps, making them convenient for fishing enthusiasts who should bring their own gear and bait.

    Swampy kingdom

    We have passed this place several times on trips to other places and finally decided to check it out the first of Nov. We rented a small rustic shelter / cabin. Essentially a slab walls roof with a heater and ac. It did also have a picnic table inside. It was actually perfect for my family of 3. This park was very quiet and was abundant with wildlife. We seen dear, armadillo, racoon, and a fox all close to our site. There were many trails to hike and the park a tally spans two sides of the highway be sure to explore both. This was a great camp for us and we will definitely visit again.

    Cypress Bend Park-Toledo Bend Lake Sabine River Auth

    BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS

    We stayed at site #3, which was pretty much full sun. But, it was on the water with access to the water. Full hookups, concrete pads. Very clean, but dated restrooms. Laundry room was available. Boat launch, fishing, beautiful playground, gorgeous flower beds. No grocery on grounds. The grounds people were busy putting out Christmas decorations! Seems that they have a huge beautiful display every year.

    Martin Dies State Park

    This is a huge campground with many sites being on the water and the rest being close to it. If you’re here for boating or fishing, like most people, you can get a campsite near a boat launch. The campgrounds are all very wooded and shady, though some spots don’t feel very private. They have a lot of sites with electricity and there are lots of bathrooms and shower houses. So while it’s crowded and large, it’s well laid out and still feels like you’re really close to nature. They also have a bunch of cabins and screened mini-cabins you can rent to ease the bug situation...which was pretty intense. The mini-cabins were very cute and look relatively new, but we didn’t stay there. You can walk along some trails straight from your campsite. Bring a kayak, canoe, or boat and you’ll have a great weekend here.

    Beautiful lake, Spotless Camp grounds, Awesome Staff

    Went to Powell not knowing what to expect.  The lake is beautiful, the camp grounds are spotless and the Staff is awesome.  Great facilities whether tent camping, RV camping or staying in a cabin.  Cabins are small and rustic as you would expect but very clean.  What you’d want since you will be outside enjoying the great outdoors!  Boat rentals, pontoons for larger groups, fishing, water sports, they have it all.  Did I mention how awesome the staff is??? So accommodating and friendly.  We will be back!

    Peaceful Lakeside Getaway with Great Amenities 🌲🎣

    We had a fantastic stay at Cypress Bend State Recreation Area! The park is beautifully maintained and set on the edge of Toledo Bend Lake, offering some truly scenic views, especially at sunset. We stayed at one of the RV sites—super convenient with full hookups(water, sewer, and electric), and the grounds were quiet and peaceful. The waterfront cabins also looked very cozy and well-equipped—definitely planning to try one next time. Highlights for us were the renovated beach area, clean restrooms, and the lighted fishing pier, which made evening fishing a treat. There's also a playground and volleyball court, which is great if you're bringing kids. The$2 entrance fee is more than reasonable, and the staff was friendly and helpful, especially with late arrival check-in info. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing nature escape, whether you're camping, fishing, or just looking to unwind by the lake! https://scriptbaldeball.com/

    Martin Dies, Jr. State Park Campground

    Enjoyed trees and the gator!

    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.
