Twin Dikes Park — Attraction in Texas

Beautiful campground. Stayed in last loop camp 36. Was too close to 35. Not much privacy. Wish I would have chose 43, drive down the hill a bit to unload, had its own private beach. The last loop 35-43 is primitive campsites. Still has bathrooms though with flush toilets. Each loop has flush toilets, the first 2 loops has shower houses. Didnt check the water temp. Have my own hot water privacy shower. Dogs must be on leash. Quiet tim 10pm to 6am. Cute couple in matching shirts comes around on golf cart several times a day checking on guest. First 2 loops are for electric amps for RVs. But the primitive loop still has water hook ups as well. There is a dump station. And must Reserve Online only! No cash, cards, checks accepted on site. Boat dock is $5 a day with a credit card machine as soon as you go through gate. The gates do not lock at night. Was there for 2 weeks March 2021. Many fireflies,, which was like a fairytale,, through the forest and down by lake.. cell service was good for Verizon, Sprint, and Tmobile. Kinda slow but worked. Fire rings, and tables at each site. The primitive loop had no tent pads, just set up where you like. I paid $7 because I get half off with my American is Beautiful/interagency pass which is available online for $80 annually. Saves me %50 @ most parks. Price is $14 a night for the primitive loop. And goes up to like $40 depending on amp. They have 3 shelters, which is just a box with windows and electricity for $38 a night in the first loop. All sites are basically on the water, some are too close to one another, some are very private. Gotta look at the park map online. Only 1 walking trail with 2 benches through the walk. Very short, not much to see, kinda muddy. Trail ends at a picnic table by the water. There is a short cut if you follow the path to the boat ramps so you don't have to turn around and walk back out. No wildlife messed with our food out side. No coons. Saw red cardinals, blue Jay's, woodpeckers, white tailed deer, bunnies was about it. There are some fat dark brown squirrels tho. If you come out gates for gas/ice/food make a left. Twice the ice 16lbs for$2 is a mile on your left. As is food and ⛽ and doughnuts 🍩 😋 just wished it wasn't next to a major freeway and the giant trucks with giant boats weren't so loud. Kinda killed the lake, sunset, forest, fireflies and campfire feeling with all that...

Nice. Needs more 50 amp sites and sites that are not just for tents. They have lost at least half of their sites due to erosion. They need to add water and electricity to all the sites. They need to cater more to campers than tents. It's too hot to camp in a tent in Texas in the summer. It's a good idea to have tent pads in regular sites, and if tent campers want to camp, they could at least have water and electricity. Need another bathhouse, as well as renovating the one that is there, and the restroom also. Come on Federal government, can you give the parks some love. There are not that many. State parks need to do more to improve their roads, cabins & sites. Right next door to here, at south Toledo Bend comes to mind. If you have to up the prices of your...

Update our third year to stay here went just as great as every other time. The staff are very friendly, the park is clean, and the water is great. I still highly recommend Twin Dikes to everyone wanting to camp Sam Rayburn.

Original review

We've been here 2 years in a row now. Easily the best campground on Sam Rayburn. We drove to several different campgrounds and didn't find any with access like this one. The tent sites are right on the water with nice sand and rock leading to the water. We were able to launch our boat and keep it in the water right at...
