Caddo Lake

Whatever you may think about the swamp, its delicate beauty, its cool breezes, its clear waters; its all true- except one thing, the alligators are not as abundant or aggressive as one might hope. But now don’t go walk your purse-dog along the grassy banks at night- unless yours is the one that barks for hours on end whenever you leave the house/RV/car, then please feel free to walk your dog- its fine!

Beauty out of this world! ✨ Caddo lake will leave you breathless. It reminds of some places in China. If you don’t book a tour for sunrise you could enjoy a nice view early morning from the bridge. The cypress trees are covered in Spanish moss and makes them look like ghost 👻 You can rent canoes at the office for $20 $30 dollars they have a 24hr option. Ask about it. There are maaaany routes to go canoeing but be aware there are boats all over too. There is a dollar general about 5 min away from the entrance and there are some cute towns 30 min away if you feel to explore more out of the lake.

Decent place. We were informed by the staff that they wouldn't be anymore rooms for cars so we were forced to take the 2 car per campsite. We were almost 30-40 people, so it was unconformable. By the time we got there, they was so much extra car parking that it wasn't even funny. And quite a few empty campsite. We were also told us they were renovation of the showers but they were none to be had still. Restrooms were fine and well within expectation. The campsite was good and clean. 1st time camping and it was as expected for the 2 nights and 3 days there. Coordination between that many people made harder by inaccurate information from the staff. Everything else once we were there was fine. Good amount of activities to be held there as well. Overall, good experience but wished we were better inform with more accurate information.

I've been a few times and I leave always wanting to come back. The few hiking trails available are so peaceful and easily accessible. I live in Puerto Rico these days but as a Texas native, there's just no place as beautiful and unique as home. Caddo lake is really cool.

A good place for a weekend getaway. its good for relaxing and the scenery is beautiful. really like the haunted feeling it gives on a gloomy rainy day :) good place for bird watching too.

A different type of beauty, very relaxing day here and interesting history.

Beautiful place, trees are gorgeous!! Weather was amazing!!

- I must say this is an interesting and different type of lake - We took a boat tour (Captain Ron's Swamp Tours) - Captain was nice and gave lot of information - The views bare awesome - Strangest part: all trees have roots below the water (5/6 feet deep) - Definitely a one time visit lake/state park
