Weekend Trip to Toledo Bend Retreat

We loved camping on Paul’s Land. The land was beautiful. We got to see four otters swimming in the creek beside the land. It is very quiet and peaceful. Paul was great with answering all of our questions.

Weekend Trip to Whispering Creek Lodging & RV Resort

The campgrounds are well kept and the office staff is very friendly. Breakfast was served on the weekend and coffee. This was not expected and very much appreciated! The RV was spacious and had everything needed to enjoy our stay!

1 night at Mid Lake Campground on Toledo Bend

I love the peacefulness of this place. We had somewhat of a waterfront view on site C1 of the lake which is part of the Toledo Bend Reservoir. We could’ve had a waterfront view if we chose row E. There are 3 sites there. We had a nice gravel site with FHU. Campground is surrounded by tall trees. The only downfall is the phone service connection. There is WiFi, general store, big dog park, swimming pier, boat dock, and birds constantly singing. It’s a beautiful place for me.

Great place to stay. Myself, my two daughters (and pup) really enjoyed this quite peaceful campsite. Property owners happened to be camping on the 2nd site and where very helpful and informative. Will stay here again!
