Caddo Lake State Park

We had a wonderful experience camping at Caddo Lake State Park. One of my favorite parts was how immersed in nature we felt throughout our stay. The park is beautiful, peaceful, and a great place to disconnect and enjoy the outdoors. The campground was clean and well-maintained, and I appreciated seeing park staff regularly making rounds. It helped us feel safe and secure during our stay. One of the highlights was the wildlife. We even spotted an alligator, which made the experience feel even more unique and memorable. It was such a neat reminder that you're truly in nature at Caddo Lake. My only minor complaint was the sand on the tent pads, which seemed to get everywhere. That said, it was a very small inconvenience compared to an otherwise excellent experience. Overall, this is a beautiful state park, and we will definitely be back.

Beautiful setting by a water way . Trails to pretty easily walk on paved road, Other trails were easy to moderate to walk. Indoor plumbing facilities. (Bathroom) There is camping available. Your trailer or there is also cabins to rent. $4 per person entry fee Clean area, maintained.

What a great park! We had the best time. We tent camped and the sites were perfect. The hiking trails are relaxed and pretty easy. The screened in shelter was larger than I expected and very clean. They had firewood at our site when we arrived. Honestly the lake is the main attraction but after we looked at it we hiked and enjoyed the scenery. I saw others kayaking it but we had other adventures to attend. ❤️⛺🥾🐾

Mystical Beauty! We visited this state park in April,2025. When we arrived at the information center, the officer told us that park's canoe rentals are closed, but she did provide us with a list of other tour providers. To arrange the boat trip, we then got in touch with Mr. Dan Walker from the list, who runs Chill-Lax-N Boat Tours. The greatest way to take in this state park's beauty is by boat. During the 90-minute trip, we understood how this natural lake formed, its history, and the breathtaking views of Big Cypress Bayou, bald cypress trees covered in Spanish moss, wetlands, and backwaters. The cypress trees have a vibrant green color during this season, and lilies bloom in the lake. Following our boat tour, we had lunch and took a short walk through the Caddo Forest loop trail. There are mosquitoes in some parts of the forest, so we used bug repellent. We also went by the famous CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) pavilion, a shelter house. The trail is well-maintained and properly marked. We had a great time in this park and would come here again.

Beautiful park. If it had been warmer we would have loved to canoe. We stayed at the squirrel haven campground (spot 45) which is the first site on the right when you pull in. There were water and electrical hookups and we dumped the tanks at a communal dump tank before we left. The cypress trees are just amazing in December and with it very overcast was almost spooky. I imagine it would be a fun place to visit any time of year.
