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.

Nice park, roomy sites, bathrooms very clean. The only problem was loose dogs, apparently from nearby neighborhoods, roaming the park, at times barking aggressively. Intimidating, especially trying to walk my own leashed dogs, especially at night. Park host stated park administration had been aware for some time and had done nothing about it. So likely won't be back, did not feel safe.

Every day we saw loose dogs running through the campground. Most appeared to be coming from outside the park. No one ever appeared to be doing anything about these dogs. Since (according to hosts) this is a longtime problem why isn`t something done? This situation must have influenced several campers who also let their dogs off leash.
This park is a perfect example of what happens when you are understaffed and under-budgeted.Everywhere you look something needs attention. I don`t see how your volunteers can maintain with all they have to do.
However, we enjoyed our stay (other than running dogs out of our site) because it was mostly peace and quiet.

This park is a GEM in the wilderness of Texas. Hosts are on it, every aspect of our visit was top notch (less internet connectivity)

We stayed here a few days over thanksgiving week. The park was full but everyone is spaced out nicely. The cell coverage on AT&T was very poor. Good views by the lake.

Beautiful view of the lake. Sites have plenty of room. The upgraded looped will add many more great sites when completed. We were passing through the area and it was a nice find!

Hanks Creek Park is located 1 mile from my parents. We love staying here due to their close proximity. The only things lacking is a playground for the kids on the camping side of the park and trails to hike or bike on.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
