@ChaseM6793744 · Camped on Jul 6, 2024 at Campsite #27

We stayed in spot 27 overnight. Good site and eat to back into with our 32 fifth wheel. Site had 30A power but water was across the road. About 100 of hose was needed to supply water. Otherwise its a great place. Low traffic and quiet. Has a trail called the Tall Pines trail and its close to a two mile trek in the woods of Davy Crocket National Forrest. Would visit again!

@ChuckR6119870 · Camped on May 28, 2024 at Campsite #33

Stayed here for one night, mid-week, terrible weather. Camp host was great, called me and explained current conditions. Nice campground, lots of space between camping spots. Bath house was very clean, four individual rooms each with own shower, sink, and toilet. Short walk to lake, which I didn't visit.Would definitely recommend.

@NormanRDBAA474 · Camped on May 14, 2024 at Campsite #35

Because of the recent torrential rains, we nearly had the RV potion to ourselves. The camp hosts bent over backwards to insure that our stay was pleasant!!!

@AliceJ3C2FE566 · Camped on Apr 27, 2024 at Campsite #CCC

The area is just beautiful and serene. All the facilities are clean and well maintained. The staff was available to answer questions. We had a small reunion and everyone wants to go back in the fall :) Thank you for a nice place.

@AndrewB2067797 · Camped on Apr 13, 2024 at Campsite #4

Clean park, great staff. Will certainly return soon!

@johnc3063297 · Camped on Apr 11, 2024 at Campsite #19

quite with a clean bath house. the pad area's could use a periodic sweeping but overall very nice

@MichaelJ550489 · Camped on Apr 9, 2024 at Campsite #40

Lovely location but the slick, moss covered timbers left me with a fractured arm!

@KarinaVFF99232 · Camped on Mar 29, 2024 at Campsite #3

Our RATCLIFF stay was great. The scenery was beautiful. Our stay was late March and the weather was amazing. The lake is good to fish in but the water didnt not seem very adequate to swim in (we did not allow our children to get in the water). Overall the fishing and hikes were great! We would definitely go back.

@KarinaVFF99232 · Camped on Mar 29, 2024 at Campsite #2

@danb6262240 · Camped on Mar 25, 2024 at Campsite #15

Quiet campground. Lots of space between sites for ample privacy. Bath house was exceptionally clean and private rooms. Nice lake with a very large and well kept up recreation area

@DouglasR824462 · Camped on Mar 24, 2024 at Campsite #40

Spent 3 nights Sun - Weds in late March in the Dogwood Loop with electric and water hookups. Although the campground is old and could use some road work and campsite repairs, the sites are spacious and level and afford nice privacy in nature. Bath house is clean and showers were excellent. The lake is perfect size for kayaking and gets decent fishing action. Perfect weather and no crowds; I couldn't have asked for anything more. This was a focal stop on my monthlong spring RV trip and I will be making it part of my future trips. And for full disclosure my last name is Ratcliffe, I'll excuse the misspelling.

@KevinM8804744 · Camped on Mar 10, 2024 at Campsite #36

Great RV Site in Dogwood Loop. Big and pretty campsites with electric and water.

@PaulC8096585 · Camped on Mar 9, 2024 at Campsite #44

Very beautiful clean park. Well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay. We will definitely mark this as a park to return to.

@GaryR1641966 · Camped on Mar 8, 2024 at Campsite #SAW

Beautiful lake, top notch facilities (including clean restrooms), and a chance to catch the famous Texas Snipe give Lake Ratcliff and A+. Camp Hosts Bobby and Amy are the icing on the cake. They were our hosts in the Sawmill Loop, including the Pavilion. They were attentive to our needs, including regularly checking on us. They truly want you to have a great time.

@RonnieT7C23969 · Camped on Mar 4, 2024 at Campsite #18

Quiet, clean restroom/showers, good spacing of sites. Sites could stand renewal of parking surfaces- old pavement broken up by tree roots pretty bed. Site was still better than some others we have stayed at before. Overall very workable.

@MerlinH6404142 · Camped on Feb 16, 2024 at Campsite #21

Very nice campground. Quite and clean.

@JIMB8977280 · Camped on Feb 14, 2024 at Campsite #36

The camp ground was very nice and the hosts were friendly and helpful. This place is for those who enjoy camping with trails and local history.

@JackH2795231 · Camped on Jan 21, 2024 at Campsite #39

Nice campground, clean facilities, good hiking trails, exceptional hosts.

@JohnE3306958 · Camped on Jan 19, 2024 at Campsite #19

This is a very nice place to stay with beautiful surroundings. The bathroom facilities were clean but cold as it was in January when we stayed here. There was hot water in the shower but no heat in the room. Sites are spaced generously and I do not think it would feel crowded even if the campground was full. We enjoyed it.

@DanielT9444061 · Camped on Dec 20, 2023 at Campsite #47

Bathrooms and showers were very clean with hot water. Campsites are spacious with table ,benches, fire pit, and post for light.

@DavidA3218244 · Camped on Dec 10, 2023 at Campsite #38

Site 38 unlevel side to side & front to back. Shower/restroom well cared for. Steady electric & water systems. Stayed after a business conference in E. TX & will probably stay again if necessity occurs. TX7 traffic niloide until just after sunset.

@Cassandra11458 · Camped on Dec 8, 2023 at Campsite #S and P Standard

Very nice park.

@CharlesJ5BFCCB · Camped on Dec 5, 2023 at Campsite #19

We had a beautiful campsite and enjoyed the quiet, the scenery, and the trails. We had water and electricity at our site. We did use the bathrooms and showers and they were clean and worked fine, though the shower was barely warm.

@DarrisKF54D39B · Camped on Dec 1, 2023 at Campsite #12

great location nice facility and friendly staff. A little close to the highway but other than that an excellent facility.

@ANGELAL3690656 · Camped on Nov 19, 2023 at Campsite #19

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
