Our visit to Sam Houston National Forest was amazing! We're eager to come back and camp soon. I've always been passionate about nature, and exploring with my family has been a dream. If I could, I'd go every day! The trail was incredibly enjoyable!

Absolutely lovely place. The campsites are fire. East Texas is a true gem for nature enthusiasts and Texans alike. I have lived in Texas all my life and have never been. When I came I had a little disagreement with the camp host but came to later understand how he was under a lot of stress that didn't help when I moved my camping area to a nicer location. I was at fault and should have requested sooner. Luckily it all worked out. I hope to come back in the future to spend more time with the pines.

We visited for a day trip, just looking to explore a new park. We were so pleasantly surprised though! The paved trail around the lake made for a great little hike with the kids (stroller-friendly enough). We also saw biking trails and hiking trails that we plan to go back and explore. There is a very cute little swim beach with restrooms and picnic tables close by. The camping spaces were plenty spaced out, and most of them had a view of the lake. I definitely believe this park has become a family favorite, and we plan to visit often!

This is one of our favorite summer spots to be at. They're great for camping or day trips, they have fishing, hiking trails & a swim lake. We always bring a picnic meal to eat at the picnic tables, snacks & tons of drinks, even if we just swim all day. They have accessible bathrooms with showers in several different locations. They also offer RV or tent camping, rustic or water/electric sites. Highly recommend!!
