Clean bathhouses and laundry facilities ensure that long-term stays are comfortable, making it easy for visitors to extend their time on the lake.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

Wonderful place to enjoy Sam Rayburn Lake. The store carries all you need for food, fishing , supplies, also serves up great Burgers , Fries and Crispy Catfish Filets. Perfect camping spots on the point looking out to the lake, with a playground and beach for relaxing and swimming.

Gave us the small cabin for 2ppl and 3 dogs. We'd rather have had a bigger cabin. Food was good. Fishing pier was too small and I forgot to rent a boat. That's my fault. Pretty swimming area, our Lab loved it, Corgi laid in it and didn't move. If we'd go back I'd get a bigger cabin. No shelves to hang towels or shampoo etc. beds way too high for our dogs to jump up or down.

We Love to go swimming here. Area is Clean and well maintained. Big area and lots of shade. Afterwards we go to the Cafe inside the store to eat. Food is always amazing, even if i take off all the veggies. We have made it a mission to try something different each time and have never been disappointed. Everyone from staff to customers is like a family. We have a great time and truly enjoy ourselves.
