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.

Our stay at Hanks Creek was picture perfect. We weathered the cold weather off the lake and saw the first snow for 2021 during our January stay. The host was extremely nice and even offered to help with whatever I needed. The park was clean, the lake was beautiful and I loved watching the birds and other fowl fly and swim along the lake. Can't wait to go back.

We got there on Sat. On Sunday we had no power and it did not come back until Tue. Snow came also so we decided to leave on Tue after 2 days of no power. We are trying to get a refund but can’t talk to anyone in Rec.gov. I have been on hold for 1 1/2 hour. Nobody picked up. I reached out to them via FB but they could not do anything since the reservation was still active. The closed the park on Friday Feb 19 And we got a refund of 1 night. Can’t even ask for a refund on their website.
Terrible customer service.

They only had two showers open and only one was slightly warm. They need to open all the showers and turn on some warm water. The showers down by the boat ramp are usually better but they had them closed...covid is an excuse to give crummy service.

Very nice and peaceful park on the lake. Campsites are well spaced and there are a good number of shelters. Host was very friendly. Not much to do there, but that was fine with us.

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.
