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.

Shelter, boat ramp, location are great.
Employees top notch.
Disappointed gate not manned as in the past.
Disappointed half of shelters and sites not open year round.
Still my favorite place to stay on Rayburn.

Hanks Creek Park is the nicest park on Rayburn. It is quiet and shady, the people are friendly and the catfishing is the best.

We enjoyed our week in Site #8, which has an awesome view of Sam Rayburn Lake. We had a successful fishing trip, catching lots of blue & channel catfish. The campsites were very clean and the bathrooms were also kept very clean by the on-site camp hosts. The camp hosts did advise us that the park would be closing as of 9-30-19, and would not re-open until March, 2020, with many changes forthcoming. We were VERY DISAPPOINTED, along with many other campers who use this park during the fall and early winter months to hear of this closing. We also were told that, when the park did re-open in March, 2020, there would be no paid camp hosts-- only volunteers! This would affect the 4 closest parks on Sam Rayburn, which was voted the BEST CATFISHING LAKE in the US!
We contacted our State Representative, our State Senator, as well as our County Representative. Many people wrote and called in to voice their opinions. The Corps of Engineers did consent to open a small (15 spaces) area of the 4 parks which were closing, which began 10-01-19, and will remain in effect until 3-01-20. We have now visited the park several times since then, and these limited camping spots are always in use and booked in advance.
Thank you.

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.
