This is such a beautiful and clean place to visit! The beach, the playground, the bathrooms - I don’t think in all the times we’ve been that I can say I’ve had a bad experience! We’ve only ever had day passes, haven’t camped there yet so I can’t speak to that. But going for the day or a few hours is time well spent! We even had my daughters 15th birthday on the beach/at a covered picnic table. Highly recommend!!

This is one of the best state park I have seen. It is a perfect place for a day trip. You can play in the water and sand, it is very beautiful. The waves are not very big. People will come here With family and friends and prepare their own food in the barbecue area. The north side of the lake was filled with Kite surfing professionals.The wind in the north side was heavy, so it is the perfect spot for kite surfing

My family has been here twice in the past month camping in the Hawthorne primitive sites. We love it! Sites are beautiful and both sites we stayed at were on the water. We love fishing and the sound of the water at night so it was perfect for us. Park employees are all so friendly as well and facilities are kept clean. Beautiful Texas State Park! ❤️

This was a good fishing trip with friends. Upon my arrival the park ranger at the gate was very helpful in assisting me in locating my group. The few who camped seemed to enjoy the available space right next to the lake. The early morning hours were ablaze with natural sounds from the surrounding forest. The fishing was great for a few but not for my novice skill level. The available grill space near the dock was a nice “off the path” place for lunch. Excellent adventure for the those who enjoy the outdoors.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Swimming is all year if you can handle cold water. It is a state park and if you purchase a year pass you can enter all Texas state parks with it and it really saves you money. We have been too state park in Galveston and all over just a great investment.

Do you need a reservation just to go to the lake and swim for the day?

Felix Paraon | May 23, 2022
Alyssa Madeja | May 24, 2022

You don't, but it's always best to reserve just to ensure your entrance. It just a safety measure on your end, it was needed back when COVID first started and they had to limit the number of people, since then I haven't noticed any restrictions. But, isle du boi gets pretty busy, so if you can reserve, I would!

hey this is one of my fav lakes and i will be camping here for my spring break with may parents. This seems like a good spot for fishing but one thing is what type of fish come with it that time of the 14th thorught out the 17 of march 2022?

Landon Williams | Feb 22, 2022
Krishna Sathvik Mantripragada | Feb 23, 2022

Hello, Landon. I hope you're doing well. According to my knowledge, this lake is known for its black bass, catfish, crappie, and sand (white) bass. Bass fishing can be done in a variety of locations. During the spawning run up tributaries in the spring, white bass fishing is at its best. Perhaps you can discover a nice spot at the lake and have some great fishing with your family.
