Off season is the move

My friends and family decided to book this place in late January. We say exactly 3 other people for the entire duration of our 3 day stay.

The sunrise and sunset are some of the best I’ve seen and the water though cold is beautiful and the sounds of loons, mourning doves, and coyotes hand in the air through the day and night.

This camp is quite deep in the middle of nowhere and I could t find any established hiking paths near by but I perhaps could have missed them.

Park host is super vigilant so if you feel like getting into some trouble, I’d look for another campsite instead of this one.

fantastic

The campground caretakers are fantastic! The grounds are consistently well-maintained, with neatly mowed lawns and cleared pine needles. I love the spacious layout of the campsites, and the view of the Rayburn sunset is simply unmatched! Big Shot Boxing

Our FAVORITE on Lake Sam Rayburn

The “caretakers” of the campground are WONDERFUL! The grounds are ALWAYS neatly mowed. The pine needles are always raked and pushed out of the way. The campsites are spread out—my FAVORITE aspect of this park. And the view of the infamous Rayburn sunset are unparalleled!
