About Hanks Creek

Hanks Creek Park has something for everyone, with plenty of water sports on Sam Rayburn Reservoir and volleyball, mountain biking, wild life viewing and birding for those who want to stay on shore. The Red-cockaded woodpecker, an endangered species, is found throughout the forest surrounding the reservoir. The bird makes its home by pecking cavities in large, living pine trees.

What Guests Are Saying

Hanks Creek campground is well-kept and offers a peaceful atmosphere, with clean sites and decent facilities, making it a great spot for relaxation and outdoor activities. Many campers enjoyed the beautiful views of the lake and appreciated the friendly park hosts. However, some areas are in need of maintenance and updates, particularly the boat ramps and restroom facilities, which have been affected by recent flooding and storms.

We actually stayed here for a week with a group and added an extra night to spend just with the family. On day one, we went to take a shower and found that there were ants coming out of the shower spraying on us in two of the 3 showers we used. We were bitten several times. In addition, the time we stayed, a tropical storm was making its way through. Thankfully, it didn't hit us hard but we had an exposed electrical box at our site that we needed to call and get covered again for safety. When we called about the electric and ants, the man who answered seemed almost frustrated that we called and did not have any concern for the shower situation and just said he would get someone to try to fix the box. He was rude in his tone and short in his responses and didn't want to take much time to listen and rushed me off of the phone. The electric part was taken care of the following day, thankfully, but the experience was not the best and the male receptionist DEF needs training on customer service. He did not sound like a young man, so there isn't any reason for it. We have stayed here several times, and other than bathrooms not being cleaned daily or even every other day, this was by far the worst one.

Our group encountered snakes in 2 of their cabins. We are in the woods, so this wasn’t as big of a deal bc this is their home, too, but electrical safety and issues inside the water system are things that should be prioritized.

We were only there for one night. The site was ok, level with some damage to pavement.

It was very quite, there wasn't many campers. The site was nice but the RV pad could use some repairs. It was mowed before we got there and that was nice. Over hall we had a pleasant stay.

I love Hanks Creek. I have stayed there year after year for many years. It is sad to see the neglect. The Corp is no longer keeping up with the park. There are many choice spots that have not been repaired or are not usable now. The gate is no longer monitored as it once was. The gate is no longer operational. Thus anyone can just drive in day or night with no checks. While I did not fear for my safety I was more concerned with the lack of security at the gate.

We enjoyed our stay. We stayed three nights in a shelter site. Can’t wait for the new shower house to be built.

The water lake level was too leave our boat on the shore near campsite . There has been no progress to re-open the damaged campsites from 2 years ago. The boat ramp for the camping area is still closed. No progress has been made to re-open the boat ramp. We do camp in many different parks and the Corps of Engineers are doing a terrible job maintaining Hanks Creek Park, compared to the other parks that we visit.
Thank you.
