Sam Rayburn Reservoir
Overview
San Augustine Park is set along the Ayish Bayou tributary on the shores of Sam Rayburn Reservoir. In spring, take advantage of excellent birding opportunities as neotropical birds like warblers and vireos pass through the lake en route to the Gulf of Mexico.
Recreation
The lake is a highly popular destination for boating and fishing. Game fish include largemouth bass, bluegill and channel catfish, but it is the abundance of bass, which inspires more than 500 annual tournaments.
Facilities
San Augustine features 100 sites with electric and water hook-ups. Among the many amenities are a group shelter, swimming beach, volleyball, boat ramp and an interpretive trail.
Natural Features
With more than 114,000 surface acres, Sam Rayburn is the largest man-made lake that is completely within the boundaries of the state of Texas. The reservoir is fed by the Angelina River, a major tributary of the Neches River. The piney woods region boasts native flora like orchids, insect-eating plants and scores of animal species.
Nearby Attractions
From the eastern edge of the lake, hikers can embark on a 28-mile trail that heads east to the Toledo Bend Reservoir.

GuideClean, quiet, spacious, and great lake views
1/26/23-1/30/23- This is a great COE campsite that is spacious, clean, quiet, and site#63 has lake views on 3 sides. A picnic table, fire-pit, lantern post, 30A electric, and water are provided. This is a back-in site that slopes significantly to the rear(lake side) though. I needed to lower the front of my 34’ fifth wheel trailer 16” to level it; L/R leveling was reasonable needing 1/2” on the right side. The grassy area around the site would be great for outdoor games and the water access would be great to fish from shore, boat access to the site, or swimming. The staff were very congenial and the dump station is conveniently located on the right side just before exiting the campground. Verizon 4G was 4-bars with 20Mbps download and 2Mbps upload speeds. I paid$13/night with my Interagency Senior Pass. Too bad that it was rainy most of the weekend and we didn’t have nicer weather.
GuideShady and quiet
Shady and quiet camp ground. Helpful camp overseers. Clean too.
Cold water showers. But very clean restrooms and shower areas. Push button shower that turns off every 30 seconds.
If you want lakefront you better stay under the 90s. In camp number. Lots of grassy Lake front not a whole lot of beach area they do have a public beach.very low cell service. Which I loved but don't expect to do any business
Love the covered picnic tables. Tiny crazy ants everywhere so bring some spray to keep your area free of them.
GuideNice campground with ability to park your boat near water sites
Nice older csmpground with water and electric hookups. Swim beach was under renovation. Many sites are uneven but have asphalt pads and most are shady.
