Flat Creek Marina and RV
Overview
Flat Creek Marina and RV offers a peaceful retreat for travelers seeking a direct connection to one of East Texas's most popular bodies of water. Situated on the shores of Lake Palestine, this destination combines the functionality of a working marina with the comfort of a lakeside campground. It provides a relaxed, authentic atmosphere where the focus remains on the natural beauty of the surrounding piney woods and the vast, open water.
Location & Surroundings
Located in Chandler, Texas, the park sits on the northern end of Lake Palestine. This area is known for its scenic waterfront views and the dense forest canopy that characterizes the East Texas landscape. The setting is ideal for those who want to escape the noise of major highways, as the park is tucked away in a quiet cove that minimizes wake and noise, providing a serene backdrop for morning coffee or evening sunsets.
Amenities & Park Features
The park provides essential comforts for modern travelers, including sites equipped with full hookups and 30 or 50-amp electrical service. As a marina-first property, guests have immediate access to a boat launch, rental slips, and a dedicated bait and tackle shop. Additional facilities include a clean bathhouse for guest convenience and a general store that stocks basic supplies, ensuring that visitors can spend more time on the water and less time running errands.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Fishing is the primary draw here, with Lake Palestine being a premier destination for largemouth bass and catfish. Beyond the water, visitors are just a short drive from Tyler, Texas, where they can explore the famous Tyler Rose Garden or visit the Caldwell Zoo. Local dining in Chandler offers a taste of small-town Texas hospitality, while nearby nature trails provide plenty of opportunities for birdwatching and photography within the regional park systems.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal match for avid anglers and boating enthusiasts who prioritize easy water access and functional amenities. It also serves as a wonderful getaway for families looking for a traditional lakeside camping experience without the crowds of a commercial resort.

This place is beautiful! I met the owner, and she is incredibly sweet. The staff in the office are very helpful, down-to-earth, and welcoming. When I walked into the office, I was greeted by two friendly dogs: Charlie, a golden retriever, and Harley. Everyone here is truly helpful.

Stopped in off the water to grab some bait and a couple of hooks. If you need a Dr pepper and a few snacks when you're out on the water not a bad place to stop. Friendly

This is a "no frills" RV park. Gravel pads. If you are a fisherman and/or boater, this is 5 stars! There are sites on the shore. Rustic, dirt/gravel roads, and muddy if it has rained. Glorious sunrise, peaceful, quiet, and very pet friendly. Some monthly tenants.

Great customer service, they have bathrooms, showers and laundry for those that stay. Each site has power hook up and if you have any issues they are right there to fix it. Great fishing location. If you have a boat it is great as well since they have a boat launch.
