12 sites · Tents · 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 Atlanta State Park, TX guide

Overview

About

Fringed by lush pine and hardwood forests on the southern shores of Wright Patman Lake, Atlanta State Park is one of northeast Texas’ (yes, Texas, not Georgia) most idyllic camping spots. There’s plenty to explore in the park, from easy hiking trails and lakeside lookouts to Native American heritage trails and birdwatching by the lake. Getting on the water is a must—rent a canoe or kayak, launch your own watercraft from the boat ramps, cool off with a swim, or try your luck fishing for a 75-pound catfish. Campers have three campgrounds to choose from, two on the lakefront.

Notable campgrounds

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. You can reserve one of the park’s 58 campsites in advance via the Texas State Parks website.
  2. Campsite reservations open five months in advance, while the picnic pavilion can be booked up to 12 months in advance. 
  3. Campsites can book up as fast, especially on summer and holiday weekends, so book at least three months in advance for the best spots.

When to go

Atlanta State Park is open year-round, but summer is peak season and the best time for swimming and water sports. To avoid the crowds, opt for a springtime visit, when dogwoods and other wildflowers add a pop of color to the lakeside, or in fall, when the forests transform with a blaze of autumn leaves. If you can brave the cold, winter is the best time for bird-watching.

Know before you go

  • Atlanta State Park is located 11 miles northwest of Atlanta, Texas, or about a 20-minute drive away.
  • Park entrance fees are payable in addition to camping fees, and general entrance reservations can be made up to one month in advance.
  • Facilities include restrooms, picnic benches, canoe and kayak rentals, volleyball and basketball courts, two boat ramps, and a fish cleaning station. A state park store sells souvenirs, fishing supplies, ice, and soft drinks. Bring everything else you need with you. 
  • Bird watching is a highlight in this state park, so pack your binoculars.
