Jackson Creek Park

2 Reviews Add Review

Wright Patman Recreation Area encompasses Jackson Creek Park, an Army Corps of Engineers campground that functions primarily as a boat launch with camping available year-round. The county road access presents challenges for RVs, with most sites difficult to navigate for larger rigs and a 25-foot length limit enforced.

Sites lack level ground according to campers, though basic amenities include restrooms, trash service, and campfire permissions. The park stays quiet during weekdays but sees more activity on weekends. Tent campers and motorcycle travelers find the uneven terrain manageable. For those wanting more developed facilities, Atlanta State Park Campground provides a different camping experience with better site preparation.

Free camping

I've camped here a couple of times. I think the park is mostly used as a boat ramp, and party spot. Quiet during the week. Access is via county road, and might be difficult with an rv. Most sites would be hard to get a big rv into. Most sites not level. I tent camp on a motorcycle, so it's fine.
