We tent camped for Christmas at Anacoco Spillway RV park. We had a great time and the views where we were camping were beautiful. Next time we will bring some fishing poles. Ann and Marty were very sweet. I purchased a necklace and earrings from "Trippy Hippy" designs in the store and have gotten many compliments.
Thanks to everyone there who made our stay great.

Great overnight stay... not too far off major highway.
They have a trail on the property that gave our 2 little Chihuahuas an added delight with all the various smells & a great way to stretch your legs.
Property was well manicured - grass was cut, sites were excellent & the wifi is an added touch.
Overall great stay & will definitely recommend to other travelers if in this area.

So peaceful. The spaces are wide and far enough apart to allow a little privacy. Our site was more than long enough for the truck and 5th wheel. Just FYI, all of the connections are at the back of the site, so make sure you have long hoses if your water and sewer are mid-rig like ours. Nicely treed and far enough off the road that you don't hear the road noise.

I love the peacefulness of this place. We had somewhat of a waterfront view on site C1 of the lake which is part of the Toledo Bend Reservoir. We could’ve had a waterfront view if we chose row E. There are 3 sites there. We had a nice gravel site with FHU. Campground is surrounded by tall trees. The only downfall is the phone service connection. There is WiFi, general store, big dog park, swimming pier, boat dock, and birds constantly singing. It’s a beautiful place for me.

Nice property and Wifi was a bonus. Host was excellent with communication. Signage was lacking at the turn in, but GPS was accurate and Scott replied right away when we weren’t sure. Campsites are kind of close together but overall a cozy feel. Would stay here again.
