The best lakeside camping near Tyler

·

Lake camping near Tyler means early sunrises over still water, herons gliding past your tent, and the chance to cast a line before breakfast. With over 480 options focused on lakeside stays, you’ll find sites where you can fish, spot deer along the shore, or saddle up for a horseback ride. The average night runs about $55, but you’ll see options dipping as low as $10. Campgrounds like Wayne’s Land (90 reviews), Seven Acres Campground (33 reviews), and Savannah’s Events @ Flyin H (24 reviews) get high marks from campers who want easy access to the water and real campfires at night. Showers, toilets, and fire rings are common, so you don’t have to rough it unless you want to. If you like your camping with a side of wildlife and the sound of water lapping at the shore, you’re in the right place.

23mi from Tyler · 5 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Our homestead is a few acres in East Texas, near Hawkins. The land has been untouched for about 30 years, maybe last used for cattle grazing. We're keeping the property as natural as possible, we live here off-grid and off-pipe. There’s a 17 acre lake that we share with neighbors. It’s full of bass, bluegill, crappie and catfish, we encourage catch and keep fishing since the lake could use a little fishing pressure. We also have a beaver pond, and resident beaver. Some of the wildlife we see regularly: fireflies, turtles, cardinals, bluejays, hummingbirds, kite birds, frogs, opossums, armadillos, beaver, river otter, road runners and rabbits. These plants live here too: Beautyberry, Dewberry, Pokeberry, Sparkleberry, Dogfennel, Dogwood, Yaupon Holly, Holly, Wax Myrtle, Sassafras , Lyreleaf Sage, Carolina Crane’s bill, Coral Honeysuckle, Western White Honeysuckle, Smooth Cat’s Ear, Daisy Fleabane, Prairie Onion, Mullein, Summer Grape, Water Lily. The entire water lily plant is edible, did you know? Swim, hang out, cool down on the small swimming dock. Canoe and kayak included! Based on shared availability, we have 1 two person canoe, and 3 kayaks for use on our lake free of charge. There are smaller size adult life jackets and oars/paddles. Bring your own life jackets for kids. Brookshire's in Hawkins less than 4 miles away if you need supplies. LGBTQ+ friendly.
