Sandy Creek

The campground is clean and quite. The spaces are large. We enjoyed having a covered picnic table area. The down side is there really isn't any place to swim at this park. Overall we enjoyed our stay and plan to go back.

No security at the park. No tags for inside your vehicle or any other method to insure that you are a paying guest. No check in at the gate and no gates period at the entrance.
Strong smell of marijuana at the boat ramp and at least one site.
I’ve been camping at Sandy Creek for 40+ years and have never seen it like this.

Park was nice and clean. The host that hailed from nearby Vidor, Texas was most polite and personable. We were just passing through for the night and this was a good choice.

The week before as we were passing through in the other direction, we stayed a night at Magnolia Ridge COE on the NW side of the highway/lake. That park is aptly named for the HUGE Magnolia trees that were all in bloom with their sweet smelling flowers.

Both parks are very mature in age and somewhat dated and that kind of keeps them less popular.

For entrance to Sandy Creek, the preferred entry is to take enter from Hwy 777 at Beech Grove onto road 155 rather than road 156 off of US190. It is in far better condition although still somewhat a bit narrow and rough.

I stay at site #29 providing great views of the lake and although the ashpalt was worn, the site with covered seating area provided a great campging exsperience.

Great campgrounds with excellent volunteers who helped out by answering questions when needed.

Longer spots need 50 amps for longer rv's. There are 50 amps on short driveway for a pop up to 24 ft campers, they don't need 50 amps. I mentioned this issue every time, why ask if nothing gets fixed?
