Primitive camping on Caddo Lake is an experience like no other. Spanning 25,400 acres, the naturally formed fresh water lake gracefully crosses from Louisiana into Texas and is home to the largest cypress forest in the world. The area on which this camp is located is rich in history--once the dwelling place of Caddo Indians who were known for their basket weaving and pottery skills. The site was part of the land acquired by the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Caddo Lake has a unique ecosystem and is a high quality habitat for many species, including migratory and resident waterfowl, osprey, eagles, alligators, and many species of fish. It is considered to be a valuable water system and Texas' only wetland of international importance. Kayaks, canoes, and peddle boats may be launched from the shore. Visitors will want to be familiar with Louisiana State Laws concerning boating and fishing, including those that apply to children. Fires are permitted unless there is a Parish mandated burn ban in effect.

David was very knowledgeable about his property & helped us find the perfect parking angle to enjoy site #5. The bathhouse & laundry rooms were just like being hosted at a personal residence- clean & well appointed. The layout of the sites allowed a feeling of privacy. David suggested a nice walk with our pups, up the hill to the old cemetery & a great view So glad we found this safe & convenient park.

Hart was great!! My boys and I absolutely loved the campsite out on the jetty. It was clean and had multiple locations for tents. The water access was perfect and plenty of fish were biting. We definitely hope to come back next spring! If you’re used to camping the TX state park and looking for something different and off the beaten path, this is the place! Don’t hesitate, book it.

Wonderful little place to stay. We stayed for one evening with our 3 dogs. Michael was extremely accommodating and welcoming. Cabin has everything you need for a relaxing trip; cozy, warm and inviting. Area is rural and private and perfect for those looking for a break from the hustle and bustle. We had 2WD vehicles and did just fine. I recommend getting there before dark, as the road is easier when you can see well. It’s very hard to find places that accept pets, so this was a gem for us. Definitely out of the way, so bring whatever you need. Highly recommended. Thank you to Michael and his family for hosting us.

Barefoot Gee’s is the hidden gem of the camping world. If you are like myself, you long for a full hookup camping spot all by yourself, nestled in the East Texas woods with nobody to share your perfect spot with. If so, then look no further. Linda is an awesome host and has a perfect spot for everyone to enjoy. I have found my spot and will be booking it as much as I can, so you better get there before I do.

Had a great time here! The area was spacious, camp fire and tire swing along with grill area in great locations. Host was super nice as well as her pup who my dog got along with and that's saying something because she likes her personal space. Her dog was a great watch dog of the area, showing my dog around the area and he spent time around my camp area which was nice. Great scenery and I would definitely stay here the next time I want to visit East Tx and go camping 😀

I loved camping on Will and Austyn's land. They met us with a warm hello a tour upon arrival. The tent was located towards the back of the property, tucked away nicely. We had the whole camp to ourselves, which was GREAT! We wanted a nice and quiet trip, which is what we got. The tent itself was cozy. Before we arrived, Will and Austyn set up our tent and bathroom area with heaters, turned on and ready to go. That was an AMAZING touch. The night we arrived, the low was 25 degrees. But it actually got hot in the tent, I was sweating. They also provided an electric blanket! Again, a wonderful touch that they didnt have to provide. The wifi was Great! If you want to unplug completely, great. But we needed the service for Emergency calls back home. The community kitchen was great! It had almost everything we needed. The bathroom was warm because of the space heater and fully stocked with essentials! Now a couple of things to think about: If you're a coffee drinker, bring k cups. Thats what was inside the tent. Or it will be a process to use the French press. Personally, not my thing, but im a HUGE coffee drinker. The kitchen isnt heated, so cooking was painful the first night only because it was so cold. But the soup we made was worth it. Spiders... everywhere. Lol its expected... only daddy long legs but be aware if you a terrified of spiders like myself. Lighting in the tent was low, bring a lantern! Theres a spot to hang one. All in all it was WONDERFUL! WILL be back!

Loved spending the night with these two rascals. Linda was great and a wonderful host.
