We had a great 2 night stay at Circle C Campground essentially inside the Sam Houston National Forrest. The park trails began 50 yrds from our campsite. The sites themselves were very large, and there are only 7 total campsites, so it felt very spacious. There was a lot for the kids to do and they roamed freely with no worries from mom or dad about them all weekend. Terry was very friendly and has spared no expense improving the property to allow campers to enjoy it. Highly recommended.

Craig was a fantastic host, and his assistant Matt was so kind and helpful! We really enjoyed the property, it was breathtaking with all the pine trees around! The fact that my dog was allowed to roam and explore really took the stress of keeping her leashed off me so I could finally relax as well….probably the best thing about the trip! The private bathroom and shower were also a plus! 10 out of 10! Thanks Craig and Matt!

Super peaceful and the perfect place to take our family camping. We stayed at #5. It had a great view of the whole site and close to the walking trail. Terry has a great setup. There is a bathroom and shower area. Complete with hot water. A covered area that also includes picnic tables and grills. Terry came by everyday and checked on things, he even supplied all the wood we needed for fires. It was a super cold weekend and we could not have had a better experience. He has a couple tanks and we were able to feed the catfish, my girls loved it. He has campsites and a tiny house. Lots of fun, would definitely recommend and we will be back. It’s far enough outside of town to get away from the city lights, but close enough to drive if you need to go to the grocery store or grab some goodies.
