Muggy (but to be expected in July..) Plenty of Shade throughout the park. Several hiking trails. Fishing was terrible. Even the big bass boats that were out were not catching anything.

If you have a Canoe or Kayak.. Bring it! Such beautiful areas to paddle around in!
If you have the option, go the 2 1/2 miles to the Wildlife Refuge. It is free. Take Starr Ranch Rd all the way down to the Lake. You will not be disappointed! (Maps can be picked up at the visitor center. They were closed because of covid, but were out on a table.

Park was partially reopened (Covid concerns). We stayed in Squirrel Haven (#43). We were close to canoe rentals and fishing piers. The walking trails were short but I did not mind. Toilets and toilets w/showers. New tall elongated toilets. One family bath area with locking door. We took a fantastic 2 hour tour with Ole Jigger Adventures of the lower portion of Big Cypress River and upper portion of Caddo Lake. The tour was reasonably priced ($70) and we could bring dog.
There had been some recent upgrades to the State park. Sites were level and clean. Fresh asphalt pads.
The freakishly good news for me was the fast internet I was able to pickup without external antenna, which I was able to receive with my phone (inside my aluminum sided trailer). This must be from a new tower or the merger of T-Mobile/Sprint, not sure which, but former Campendium reviews showed NO cell coverage for either providers.
We actually paid $37.50 for three nights with out Texas Parks Pass

We really enjoyed the park for the thick forest with talks trees. The sites are nicely spaced and the facilities (restrooms and showers) were clean. The hiking trails, biking on the parks roads and kayaking In the bayou was all good! Highly recommend this state park. Cell connection was okay (not good).

And all of the state parks,Including CaddoLake State Park,have all been great experiences. The roads and camping spots are fairly new I picked site at 34 in the squirrel area as it looked to be the most level for electric and water.the pond and bayou are like a fairytale visions.brings your kayaks or canoes

Rangers and host are friendly. Freshly paved roads are easy to navigate. Utilities work well. Sites have a good amount of space between them, but are slightly unlevel. Newly built showers have 2 for men, 2 for women, and 2 for families. Nice hiking trails and boat ramp. Park is quiet at night but has considerable traffic and train noise during the day, including a boom every time a vehicle crosses the nearby highway bridge. As others have stated, we picked up a few ticks as well.

Wow, a very scenic and quiet place. They are building a new shower house, should be great. Camp hosts were very good, park is clean. We have a 5th wheel, no problems finding a site, but I bet this is a tenter's paradise, some great sites for those.

This TX state park borders Louisiana. The "lake" is actually a set of interconnected bayous and swamps, but is the ONLY natural lake in TX. I stayed in a water only site right ON the swamp, in the Mill Pond area. It was a rainy night and next day but I still loved it.

This TX state park borders Louisiana. The "lake" is actually a set of interconnected bayous and swamps, but is the ONLY natural lake in TX. I stayed in a water only site right ON the swamp, in the Mill Pond area. It was a rainy night and next day but I still loved it. Friday night I attended a ranger talk on owls, then Saturday I went for a soggy hike. The good thing about the rain was that it tamped down the swarms of mosquitos. I definitely want to return and check it out on a kayak or canoe. It is definitely best visited early spring or late fall. The nearest town is Uncertain, TX, and Jefferson is close enough and well worth a visit.
