Hart’s Corner Camping

12 sites · Tents60 acres · Oil City, LA
Primitive camping on Caddo Lake is an experience like no other. Spanning 25,400 acres, the naturally formed fresh water lake gracefully crosses from Louisiana into Texas and is home to the largest cypress forest in the world. The area on which this camp is located is rich in history--once the dwelling place of Caddo Indians who were known for their basket weaving and pottery skills. The site was part of the land acquired by the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Caddo Lake has a unique ecosystem and is a high quality habitat for many species, including migratory and resident waterfowl, osprey, eagles, alligators, and many species of fish. It is considered to be a valuable water system and Texas' only wetland of international importance. Kayaks, canoes, and peddle boats may be launched from the shore. Visitors will want to be familiar with Louisiana State Laws concerning boating and fishing, including those that apply to children. Fires are permitted unless there is a Parish mandated burn ban in effect.

Camping on Wright Patman Lake guide

Overview

Within easy reach of Atlanta, Texarkana, and New Boston, Wright Patman Lake is the perfect spot for lake camping. With more than 170 miles of lakeshore, you’ll find endless spots to launch your boat or kayak, fish for white bass and crappie, or dive in for a swim. Campgrounds dot the north shore, where you’ll find spacious RV sites, many with electric hookups, while south shore campgrounds are at Piney Point, Rocky Point Park, and Atlanta State Park. Summer is peak season, but it’s worth timing your camping trip for spring, for the best fishing, or autumn to enjoy fall foliage hikes around the lake. 

Where to go

East Dallas Lakes

West of Wright Patman Lake, I-30 runs through the small towns of Mt Pleasant and Sulphur Springs, all the way to Dallas. Lake lovers will find plenty of scenic stopovers on route—head to Cooper Lake State Park to hike, bike, or horseback ride around Jim Chapman Lake or enjoy birding and fishing at Lake Bob Sandlin State Park. To the south, the pine-fringed Lake O’ The Pines is well stocked with bass, catfish, and crappie. 

Texas Pineywoods

Lush woodlands and sparkling lakes provide the backdrop for outdoor adventures in eastern Texas’ Piney Woods. Whether you prefer ziplining through the forest, backcountry camping in the wilderness, or hopping between small towns and civil war sites, there are endless options for campers. For the ultimate back-to-nature experience, the Davy Crockett, Angelina, and Sabine national forests provide miles of hiking trails and primitive camping. 

Arkansas

To the north, the Red River carves its way along the Texas-Arkansas border, while the twin city of Texarkana sprawls across both states. If you’re heading over the border, Millwood Lake should be the first stop on your itinerary—there’s great birding and fishing at Millwood State Park on the south shore, along with RV and tent campsites.
