Avinger Station RV Park The History of the Station Established in 1876 as a Railroad Depot Avinger Station operated as such until the mid 20th century. After being put out to pasture, the depot was rescued from oblivion as a barn and brought back to Avinger in 1998. It was moved to a more prominent location near its original site in June of 2021 after pondering how the depot might serve the community once again.

Hart’s Corner Camping

12 sites · Tents60 acres · Oil City, LA
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.

Camping in Caddo Lake State Park guide

Overview

About

Set just across from the Louisiana border, this lush park offers a unique ecosystem for Texas, one of towering bald cypress trees dripping with Spanish moss above a maze of bayous, sloughs, and swamps. The largest natural lake in Texas is also home to more than 50 miles of paddling trails, 70-plus fish species, and an impressive array of wildlife—including alligators. Several hiking and nature trails offer land-based ways to explore, while overnight options at Caddo Lake Campground include four well-equipped areas for RV and tent campers. Here you’ll find 46 campsites spanning primitive to full hookup sites, a screened shelter, and historic cabins built by the Civilian Conservation Corps.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Plan ahead for trips during peak season. Campsites and cabins can be reserved up to five months in advance, and you'll want to make yours as soon as possible.
  2. If you don’t have a reservation, arrive at the park first thing in the morning to grab any potential unreserved sites.
  3. To beat the crowds, try visiting during the week, non-holiday periods, or in winter. 

When to go

The park is at its busiest from March through November. Consider visiting during the week or over winter to escape crowds, though temperatures can dip to freezing from mid-November to March. Visit in summer to see lotus flowers and water lilies in bloom, but expect very hot and humid weather.

Know before you go

  • The park rents canoes, or you can bring your own canoe or kayak.
  • There are alligators in the park and lake. Be careful with kids and pets, and don’t feed or harass the alligators.
  • You don’t need a fishing license to fish from shore, but you do need one to fish from a boat. Fishing equipment loaners are available.
  • Bring insect repellent—mosquitos can be an issue here.
  • Several facilities are wheelchair-accessible, including two cabins and two sites at Woodpecker Hollow.
  • Pets are allowed in the park but not inside any buildings or camping cabins.
