South Toledo Bend State Park, Anacoco

As far as state parks go, this is one of my favorites! The campsites are beautiful and most have great water views. We paid for a regular spot which had a picnic table, fire pit, leveled area for tent camping, as well as plenty of room for our travel trailer set up. The beaches are really nice for swimming and provide easy/safe water access for the kids. The hiking trails were beautiful and gave many opportunities to view wildlife. The playground near the campsites was sturdy, but I could tell it had lost a few (insignificant) pieces over its years. The kids still enjoyed having an extra place to play. The shower house included a laundry room, which is a feature I have not seen at many state parks. The bathrooms and showers were clean, and the bathroom was temperature controlled-a feature I really had appreciation for since I have showered in the hot/muggy and freezing cold shower houses. The staff and camp hosts were very nice and accommodating. We stayed in the month of October. Though we weren't expecting anything extra, the kids received Halloween goodie bags and hayrides were given to camp guests Saturday evening.

We loved it here! Did some tent camping in April, and even though it stormed the first night, we did not have to deal with excessive mud/dirt. The campsites dried up quickly, and the water was clear and beautiful the next day! Great area for fishing, hiking, and just enjoying nature. We will definitely be returning!

This is a very nice park. Love their RV parking, plenty of room, paved runs, neighbors are not too close. Beautiful views & great fishing. The only thing that makes it not 5 stars is that it's 30 miles from any stores or restaurants.

I was truly a point where I needed some absolute quiet, calming atmosphere and this was perfect!!

This park is located right on the lake. It’s a gorgeous spot with over 50 RV campsites and several yurts and cabins as well. Our site had a beautiful deck right next to our pad site and a small pier just down the hill to the lake. The bathrooms in the campground were cleaned every day while we were here. There is a laundry room at the bath house, too. They had good showers with large stalls that included a bench and clothing hook in each. The water was nicely hot with good pressure. Also the drains worked well so the entire floor did not flood like in some other places we’ve been. There are 3 trails in the park. The Lakeview Trail is a concrete path which connects the campground to the boat launch and the nature center. It’s very nice. There is also a primitive trail called Bald Eagle and a nice trail next to the lake connecting all the cabins. The visitor center here was open and no mask required. We had a problem with our chassis battery and the camp host was extremely helpful in giving us a jumpstart. The beach here was nice too. The only downside I saw while here was there is only one bathroom in the campground/beach area and it’s a little walk from the beach to it. We would definitely camp here again.
