Weekend Trip to Avinger Station RV Park

Great location and very clean and modern facility. Very fair pricing and easy checking and out.

Weekend Trip to Off Grid Stargazer

We loved camping on Lon’s land! Area was nicely maintained, designated camping areas were clearly identified and easy to get to. Trees were beautiful and offered a nice private shady area to tuck away. We had no problem fitting our full size Tundra and had plenty of room to make home for the weekend. Directions were very easy to follow and the hosts were so friendly and accommodating! We will definitely be back for more visits!

1 night at Barefoot Gee's

Quiet, woodsy, safe and serene! Andy, the owner’s German Shepherd, camped with me and is just the sweetest dog! Linda is a great host and helped resolve my battery pack issues by running power all the way down to my site so everything had power and full charge is restored to my battery pack and me! She has a beautiful spot with a fire pit all set up, plenty of chairs, 2 grills and an eating table and another small folding table too. The outhouse is charming! Great place-I’ll be back if I’m ever this way. Thanks Linda!

1 night at Pleasant Hill Pines of Red Slough

We stayed overnight at this site, but our kids wish that we had stayed longer. Doug was so friendly and attentive. We were able to go visit some nearby attractions that he recommended and our kids loved it—especially the free museum. I would definitely recommend this location again!

Weekend Trip to Barefoot Gee's

My family and I would absolutely recommend this place! The host was over-the-top accommodating and offered tons of activities for the kids. The campsites were well laid out with lots of trees, there was so much space for the kids to safely explore and for the dogs to roam. We did pay for the electricity option, and the ropes course for the kids. The outhouse was very clean.

Weekend Trip to JH Gay Ranch

We loved staying on Shannon's property which was close enough to New Boston, TX but remote so we had the place to ourselves. We had the opportunity to hold and pet her new fluffy baby chickens. We brought our RV and enjoyed using the 30 amp hook-up. No water, so be sure to fill-your tank in advance. Ample firewood and we enjoyed sitting around the campfire at night & watching the stars. For activities: on Saturday morning we went to the Mule Rodeo and in the afternoon went into town to have lunch and toured the nearby 3 Bostons Museum which has free admission. On Sunday morning we went to Atlanta State Park and went hiking on the Atlanta Volksmarch Trail to Wright Patman Lake. We really enjoyed the solitude that this property offered and hope to stay there again!

RV camping in Wright Patman Lake guide

Overview

Within easy reach of Atlanta, Texarkana, and New Boston, Wright Patman Lake is the perfect spot for lake camping. With more than 170 miles of lakeshore, you’ll find endless spots to launch your boat or kayak, fish for white bass and crappie, or dive in for a swim. Campgrounds dot the north shore, where you’ll find spacious RV sites, many with electric hookups, while south shore campgrounds are at Piney Point, Rocky Point Park, and Atlanta State Park. Summer is peak season, but it’s worth timing your camping trip for spring, for the best fishing, or autumn to enjoy fall foliage hikes around the lake.

Where to go

East Dallas Lakes

West of Wright Patman Lake, I-30 runs through the small towns of Mt Pleasant and Sulphur Springs, all the way to Dallas. Lake lovers will find plenty of scenic stopovers on route—head to Cooper Lake State Park to hike, bike, or horseback ride around Jim Chapman Lake or enjoy birding and fishing at Lake Bob Sandlin State Park. To the south, the pine-fringed Lake O’ The Pines is well stocked with bass, catfish, and crappie.

Texas Pineywoods

Lush woodlands and sparkling lakes provide the backdrop for outdoor adventures in eastern Texas’ Piney Woods. Whether you prefer ziplining through the forest, backcountry camping in the wilderness, or hopping between small towns and civil war sites, there are endless options for campers. For the ultimate back-to-nature experience, the Davy Crockett, Angelina, and Sabine national forests provide miles of hiking trails and primitive camping.

Arkansas

To the north, the Red River carves its way along the Texas-Arkansas border, while the twin city of Texarkana sprawls across both states. If you’re heading over the border, Millwood Lake should be the first stop on your itinerary—there’s great birding and fishing at Millwood State Park on the south shore, along with RV and tent campsites.
