Great place to swim and plan parties 🥳🥳

Great camping, primitive, tent with elec and water or RV. Most sites near the lake and boat ramps. Spacious and serene, but absolutely no wifi service...which made it even better for me. Owned by Corp. Of Engineers near the Angelina National Forest.

Great place for a quick disconnect from the busy world! I stayed on a site that included a shelter, water and electricity included. Ladies at the front desk were friendly and helpful. A few details: *restrooms were clean and close to site *we had little to no cell service (which wasn’t a bad thing) *one of the quietest campsites I’ve been too, even at night *swim area was closed off due to COVID restrictions *quite a few boat ramps

Hanks Creek Campground is beautiful. Sites are all paved & level. We only stayed one night. Restrooms are clean. Camp host was friendly. He let me use his cell phone to pay for my site. His phone carrier was AT&T and had a good signal. My Verizon had a spotty signal 1G at best. Pick about 10 HD TV stations. Would stay here again. Look forward to the sunrise & sunsets over the Rayburn Lake.

Star Moon | Jun 27, 2020
geoffrey gordon | Jun 28, 2020

Yes and jetskiis are allowed, but like what Tommy said, be mindful of the no wake zones and it is primarily a fishing crowd found on this area of the lake. Most people who are jetskiing put in around Shirley Creek area or Parker Point or somewhere close to accessing Rattlesnake Island.
