Weekend Trip to Petra D.’s Land

Nice camping spot to spend the night Petra and her husband were very informative and made it so easy for us to find our spot

1 night at Avinger Station RV Park

Absolutely the finest campground we've ever seen! The amenities and layout are exceptional! Laundry, sauna, level sites, it has it all and charm to boot. Our host was very helpful and we will be back!

Weekend Trip to Music Springs

We have been here a few times tent camping back in 2020 and we moved away from the area, now we are closer again and plan on spending more time here. We were here for a quick stay for our wedding anniversary and stayed in the Tipi. It was fantastic and the host set us up a snack tray with drinks for the occasion. You can't go wrong staying here in Music Springs.

Weekend Trip to Heavenly Haven & Hideaways

Great place to camp. Lots of stuff to do around the property. Was not aware you can’t park at your spot for tent camping. I would stay here again when in this area.

2 nights at Heavenly Haven & Hideaways

Camped for a couple of nights and was surprised. it’s got lights an outhouse and running water along with the standard campground stuff. Owner was out and about and great about making sure everything was working properly. Also had a thunderstorm the last night and the sand at the site actually held up and packing out was a breeze. Definitely recommend

Weekend Trip to Heavenly Haven & Hideaways

Our first night camping ever with our new RV! The hosts were so nice and welcoming, gave us boards to help with leveling. Super friendly and helpful, we'd love to come back with the kids since there was a playground and several games available! Super relaxing and peaceful!

Weekend Trip to Music Springs

This place is minimalist and exactly what we needed for a good value. Cute & cozy inside with good AC in the summer. The bathroom/showers are outside but easy to get to - just walk across a nicely tended grassy field. There's no sink inside, but there's a common "kitchen" area with microwave and big fridge/freezer. There is a grill & campfire, but I decided to use my own camp stove. We enjoyed the outside games like tetherball, frisbee, and a first attempt at disc golf. We enjoyed the prayer path trail as well. The host was responsive to questions & feedback.

Weekend Trip to Avinger Station RV Park

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

The Victorian room is furnished from the turn of the century with a few modern conveniences thrown in.

1 night at Seven Acres Campground

When I think about hipcamp, this is exactly what I like to find.

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!

Weekend Trip to Daffodil Hill Homestead

10/10 would camp here again. I live 2 hours away so this was perfect for a mini trip.

2 nights at The Retreat @ Borah Farm

We enjoyed the peaceful and quietness of the pond site. the vast property is a great place to walk and explore. We foraged for wild Blackberry's for a tasty cobbler. The horses on the property are friendly and a very nice addition. Our miniature schnauzer and we enjoyed getting acquainted with the horses and they followed us around while we foraged and explored the property. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Heavenly Haven & Hideaways

Easy to find, peaceful setting! If you like birding you will love this property! Hosts were prompt and try timely in communication.

1 night at Heavenly Haven & Hideaways

I appreciated the peaceful stop conveniently off of the interstate. I was concerned about being a lone, female traveler but Anthony made me feel welcome, safe, and seemed to really care for the campsites and guests, checking on everyone and tending to the site. There was a small creek near the campsite where I could sit and journal on some fallen trees- it was nice having access to explore their property a little bit. The grounds were well kept and the tent camping vibes were cute with the bulb lights. I would recommend this for group trips, for sure, but it’s also good for solo or couple camping if you like to be friendly with neighbors. The toilet was clean and I liked that there was potable water. I would have appreciated a fire ring for each individual tent site, otherwise there is a group fire fit (unless I missed one). Other than that- I would 100% come back:))))

2 nights at Rustic Retreat near Lake O the Pine

Loved staying here it is a very beautiful and peaceful place. I enjoy sitting in the hot tub, sitting by the fire and taking my dogs for long walks. In the day time I enjoyed fishing and swimming only about 10 min away. I would recommend this place and love to come back!

Weekend Trip to Heavenly Haven & Hideaways

Very well put together campsite. Clean, comfortable, and a great place to unwind.

2 nights at Daffodil Hill Homestead

We tent camped at Wayne’s Land and had an absolute blast. Beautiful views of the lake, great amenities in the kayaks and swimming dock. There are definitely alligators in the waters, but nothing really bothered us the whole time we were there. Only downside, I would say, is that the fire pit doesn’t have a grill, so you have to get creative with any cooking.

Weekend Trip to Heavenly Haven & Hideaways

I thoroughly enjoyed camping in my RV in site 1. Being surrounded by woods and the countryside location, allowed me to recharge through nature. The hosts even fixed me up with kindling in the fire pit so I could enjoy a campfire at night. What a thoughtful touch!

Weekend Trip to Heavenly Haven & Hideaways

We loved camping on Jill & Anthony’s land. They were very accommodating and informative. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The privacy and ability to let my child run and have activities to do was very nice. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to The Retreat @ Borah Farm

The property is absolutely stunning—beautiful views, peaceful surroundings, and a perfect escape into nature. Every corner felt like a hidden gem, from the scenic trails to the serene spots ideal for relaxing and taking it all in. What made the experience even better were the hosts. They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and went out of their way to make sure everything was just right. You can really tell they care about their land and the people who visit it. I can’t wait to come back!

Daffodil Hill Homestead

5 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents12 acres · Hawkins, TX

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. About the Bees Please do not bring or use any insect killer or insect repellent other than what you apply to your own body. We have several honey bee colonies living here and our neighbor keeps bees as well. For the safety and health of our bees, the use of man made insect killers or repellents on the ground, in the air or on the foliage is absolutely not allowed. One natural remedy is diatomaceous earth. Sprinkled on the ground, it does a good job at keeping ants and crawling creatures away. Our Dirt Road The last half mile of road to our property is dirt. The road is bumpy in spots and gets muddy when it rains. ALL WHEEL DRIVE or 4WD IS RECOMMENDED when there has been recent rains. Brookshire's in Hawkins less than 4 miles away if you need supplies. Verizon, ATT users have cell coverage here, no signal for T-Mobile users. LGBTQ+ friendly.

Besides being surrounded by beautiful scenery, it just feels good being here. Getting out and exploring is a wonderful escape from the everyday grind. We love hosting campers and work toward making sure folks feel welcome and comfortable. We were living in the north Dallas area but always had a desire to buy some land and have a little more 'elbow room'. We were avid RVers for many years, but when that chapter closed, we missed 'glamping'. When we found our property, we knew we wanted to share this beauty, nature, and space with others as a campground. Heavenly Haven & Hideaways has been a God-inspired project, born out of our love for people, adventure, and the outdoors. Our beautiful property has RV and tent camping and we also have 2 cabins for short and mid-term rental. Access pictures and booking for the cabins via our website: heavenlyhavenandhideaways.com There's easy access to our family and pet-friendly campground in Tyler, Texas. We've set up a large communal firepit and fun outdoor games like tether ball, a volleyball net, horseshoes, and more. There's an open field for frisbee or tossing a ball around. We've cut in some trails that you can hike and explore our 60-acre property that includes an always-running creek. We're within a few miles of Tyler State Park which is great for bike riding & swimming in their lake. You can also rent paddle boats there. We're within a few miles of the Tyler Zoo -which is a surprisingly excellent zoo. There are several museums, shopping areas, and great food establishments in and around Tyler. Nearby Lindale also has the Pink Pistol, a Miranda Lambert store, and other neat places. We partner with Camp Right USA for a new level of tent camping. Simply book your spot with us, then if desired, contact Camp Right USA (https://www.camprightusa.com) to have set up and take down done for you! They say "everything will be in place, from your tent to your campfire. When it's time to head home, leave the packing and dismantling to us." Either way, come visit us in east Texas so you can rest, play, hike, explore. https://www.facebook.com/heavenly.haven.and.hideaways

Camping in Martin Creek Lake State Park guide

Overview

About

This park is an angler's paradise, located on the shores of a 5,000-acre lake. Take your kit and try to land a massive bass, crappie, catfish, perch or sunfish.

There are also six miles of scenic trails for hiking, biking and generally staying active. If you're looking for a more chilled-out atmosphere, grab your binoculars and go bird-watching.

The park's official peak season is March through November, but especially spring and summer. However, October and November are the best time to see the park's colorful, fiery foliage. In winter, the park is kept busy by regular fishing tournaments and events.

There are many campsites to choose from, including premium sites with water and electricity hookups. Most sites have fire rings and picnic tables for a fun, friendly vibe.

There are also primitive sites that offer a natural, back-to-basics style of camping. In addition to the campsites, the park offers rustic cabins and screened shelters for hire.

Notable campgrounds

Water and electricity campsites offer convenience for both RVs and tents, with easy access to the lake.
Primitive island campsites provide a secluded retreat for those seeking a more rustic experience.
Screened shelters and cabins cater to visitors looking for a touch of comfort amid the wilderness.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Book early, especially if you're planning to visit during the busy spring and summer seasons.
Check the park's event calendar for fishing tournaments and avoid those dates for a quieter stay.
Consider weekday camping for better availability and a more tranquil experience.
Explore nearby camping options if the park reaches capacity or to discover new scenic spots.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Martin Creek Lake State Park is during the spring and summer when the park's full splendor is on display. However, the park's year-round warm waters make it a haven for anglers even in winter. Keep in mind that these peak seasons also mean higher visitor numbers, so plan accordingly.

The park often reaches capacity; secure your spot by reserving passes online or by phone in advance.
Accessibility information is available for those with special needs to ensure an enjoyable visit.
Remember to pack your fishing gear, or borrow from the park, as no license is required for fishing within state parks.
