Tree cover defines the experience at Shiloh on the Lake. Every site sits beneath a canopy of trees, which keeps things shaded even in the Texas heat, though the trade-off is that sites run fairly close together. The campground sits along a lake outside Malakoff, with a designated swimming area featuring a hard sand bottom, a fishing pier, and kayaks available for use. Two restaurants and a shaved ice stand are within walking distance, which sets this apart from more remote lake camping in the region.
Sites vary between packed sand and concrete RV pads, and both surface types have trade-offs. Sand tracks indoors and becomes difficult after rain. The concrete pads, on the other hand, are long enough that some campers park beside them and use the pad itself as a patio. Full hookups accommodate RVs up to 70 feet, and on-site laundry is available at the office for a reasonable fee. Coal Mine Ranch RV Park is another option in the area for those comparing nearby facilities.
Management responsiveness comes up repeatedly in reviews. Brett B. describes it as "a great, non-parking lot style campground," noting the wooded feel despite the proximity to amenities. Bathrooms lack air conditioning, which is worth knowing before booking a summer stay. Reservations are available and recommended, particularly for weekends when lake access draws more visitors.
Description
A Quiet Oasis on Cedar Creel Lake
On the shores of beautiful Cedar Creek Lake in Henderson County, Texas, Shiloh on the Lake is your home away from home for cozy lodging, camping, events, water sports, and nature watching. Located just 1 hour southeast of the D/FW metroplex and 15 minutes from Athens, we are on the western edge of the Piney Woods. A great place to visit, get away from the concrete jungle and unwind.
From wake boarder to fisherman, from hiker to front-porch bird watcher, you will find your perfect spot on our spacious and wooded 48 acres and nearly 2000 feet of shoreline. .
What it is and is not? This is a heavily wooded quite place for RVs and those wanting to rent cabins in a more natural setting. It is not a concrete pad, open area with turf.
A great place for couples looking to get away, families, and reunions. The kids and pets will really enjoy their time at Shiloh.
