Water Zone

One of the biggest updates at our East Texas campground was our brand new Water Zone. This included a water playground, family pool, spa tub, and cabanas. However, what was most exciting was that they are all HEATED! So even though it may still be cool in the spring when we open them for the year, they will be warm enough to splash around all day long.

Our family campground in Texas took on a whole new level with all the amazing attractions we added for our campers. From a brand new gem mining structure, to a playground, to Gellyball and Gaga Ball, to even two more fishing ponds, there is something for everyone! Take a look at all our attractions here.

Check out the Campfire Canteen for some yummy lunch and dinner options, plus it is right next to the water zone. Our new bark park is the perfect spot for your furry friends to run around and play.
