We saw an ad in a Texas magazine for this park so decided to try it. The one problem I had with the site were all the rocks around the parking area. You couldn't walk without stepping on or over them and it was easy to twist your ankle. The staff was very nice and they keep a lot of fishing gear including worms for the fisherman. The only fishing in the immediate area was a small pond with a pier. The place was quiet and had a very nice swimming pool. My husband used the showers and said they were very small but they were clean. The Wi-Fi was fine but there was no cable. The 30 amp service was through a wire outside the metal box. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I do not want to bash this place. To begin: the entry road is very narrow, I mean NARROW, and the entire area is in need of a lot of work. However the owner in our opinion is really trying to make the place decent! KOA needs to step up and help this owner do what needs to be done. The bathrooms were very small, but clean. The roads were in bad condition and there were too many children operating 4-wheelers without supervision. The other reviews are very close to the truth. We would not stay here again, but we do wish the very nice owner the best. We camped here in a Motorhome.
My wife and I stayed at this campground for approximately 4 1/2 months. We found that the conditions of the campground were poor and unacceptable. The roads leading into the campground are narrow and poorly maintained. The sites are all uneven, which makes it difficult to level out even the best of RVs. Very little grass is available on the sites. We have experienced a great number of problems during our stay, including but not limited to: the 30 amp circuit breaker "tripping" at the pole on a regular basis, damage to our camper by workers mowing the "rocks", and the apparent lack of respect that the owner holds for his monthly and/or longterm tenants. The only positive point that we can make about this campground is the office manager/temporary host. He goes above and beyond to ensure that the guests are taken care of. We will not stay at this campground ever again and do not recommend that anyone else does. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground is new (approx 2 years). The road in is awful, with a big pothole right at the entrance. The staff at the counter were not very friendly and didn't seem to know what they were doing. The sites were long enough but were uneven, gravel and dusty. The grass (what little there was) was nice and short but was full of fleas, which our dog was not happy with. The hook ups were way at the back and we had to add a hose to reach the water and sewer. The water smelled and tasted awful. And there was an awful sewer smell in the bathrooms, although they were very clean. The wi-fi was good. We won't stay there again, unless we absolutely have to. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice and clean. New owners are very friendly and helpful. Cost for beach front was $185, but worth the view and the beach. Will recommend this place to anyone. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

They have a new playground now. Pictures are available on their website, Twindikesmarina.com under Resort Activities, Recent Updates. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a PET FREE park. Not even inside RV pets allowed. A small park on Lake Sam Rayburn with cabins on the water front and RV sites located in center. Very clean park with a great beach area. Security is very strict and always visible. I only gave it an 8 because of no pool and no playground equipment,otherwise it is excellent in every way. Owners are very nice and want to please. Have stayed here several times and will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
