This property offers a combination of hotel rooms, motel spaces, and RV accommodations tailored to travelers looking to spend time directly on the water in the Piney Woods region of East Texas.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in Onalaska, this location places visitors near the northern portion of Lake Livingston, accessible via US Highway 190.

The climate brings warm, humid summers and mild winters, making it a year-round destination for travelers coming up from Houston or down from Lufkin.
Amenities & Park Features
Given the nature of a waterfront property with a marina designation, visitors can expect an environment geared toward boating, fishing, and lake access. Because specific site layouts and utility configurations are not universally published, travelers should contact the park directly to confirm exact hookup types, site dimensions, boat slip availability, and vehicle length limits before arrival.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The surrounding area offers immediate access to outdoor recreation, most notably Lake Livingston State Park, which features hiking trails, fishing piers, and boat ramps just a short drive away. Visitors frequently explore the Trinity River basin, local tackle shops, and the seafood eateries scattered around the Onalaska and Livingston communities. Boating, kayaking, and bass fishing dominate the local itinerary.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination suits anglers, boaters, and road-trippers who prioritize waterfront access and a scenic East Texas woodland setting over urban conveniences. It fits travelers towing a boat trailer who want launch facilities close to their campsite or lodging, as well as visitors seeking a quieter lakeside base camp along the US-190 corridor.

I did not stay at the lodge, and the restaurant is now called Jr's. Great atmosphere on the lake, 2 level back deck with live music and a huge dock. The waitress was excellent and even accommodated our dog with his own bowl of water. I had the armadillo eggs and sweet tea. We met some other staff members and they were very friendly and offered my dog ice for his water since it was so hot. I loved it there and will definitely be going back when I'm in the area!

There is a community park that has a playground, pavilion, and pool. There is no marina store or hotel/motel. However, there is a boat ramp for launching watercrafts as well as piers to fish from. e.i.: I've yet to locate a tennis court but the golf course is playable.

If you live in Onalaska, TX, and noticed that there are only a few things to do over here other than hang out at home, do water sports, fish, and eat! Well, this is one of the spots where my family and I often grab lunch or dinner (mostly dinner). The selections are enough, and all the food here is good! I typically order the mushroom burger with frozen margs. The view is lovely. Sometimes, we bring our dogs and sit in the patio area with our pets and enjoy the peaceful view of the lake. [Currently, the lake water around the Lake Livingston area has been pretty low due to the extreme heat this summer and almost no rain.] So, if you expect to have a beach view, forget about it! The service from the bartender and the servers are decent. You can't expect them to wait to attend to your needs as soon as you sit down. Common sense and understanding is needed. Often, the most are two servers and one bartender in front of the restaurant. Overall, my experience here is good, and I love coming here to order their food and drinks! The vibe is good enough to enjoy the lovely view of the lake.

Very nice place! The people are very friendly, and you don't have to wait on drinks. The owners, and staff are very curtious, and fun. Pool, darts, ping. Beautiful view of the lake front, a nice dock to walk out on. All in all, I'd say one of the nicer establishments to let off some steam I've been at. They'll even let your jukebox whatever you want to listen to! That's all right there.
