A small rv park, quaint and quiet on the two week nights I was there. Shower had nice hot water. Customer Service was wonderful, made sure I had what I needed. There is a little pool even! There are some activities if you bring a group, a volleyball net. I think i saw a bridge to a trail, though I didn't explore. Neighbors were friendly and courteous. Great stop over!

Good spot for a quick night. Across the street from a camper in a very wooded spot. We made a fire and pitched a tent in a small clearing.

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.

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!
