Wright Patman Recreation Area, managed by the Army Corps of Engineers, includes Piney Point among its lakeside campgrounds along the Texas-Arkansas border. The roughly 50-site layout splits into exterior and interior sections, with exterior sites offering noticeably more space between neighbors. Shade is consistent throughout, with tree cover across most of the campground. One practical note: proximity to a water intake facility means some sites pick up ambient industrial noise.
Sites come with level concrete pads, and most include water and electric hookups. A dump station serves those without full hookups on-site. RVs up to 55 feet are accommodated, though only a handful of sites have 50-amp service. Tent campers should know that many sites have asphalt or concrete pads rather than ground-level pitching areas, which reviewers flag as a limitation. A playground, boat ramp, and clean restrooms and showers round out the facilities. Campers regularly pull boats directly to the shoreline, making this a functional base for fishing on Wright Patman Lake.
"Clean campground with decent sized sites," notes Gari-Ann L., who also points out that the campground's proximity to town makes supply runs straightforward. The campground is open March through November, with rates running $14 to $26 per night. Reservations are available. Pets are allowed, though leash compliance among visitors has been inconsistent according to multiple reviewers. Campers wanting a larger or more secluded setup can look at Oak Park (Wright Patman Lake) to the north, or Rocky Point (Wright Patman Dam), just down the road.
