If you are not 55+ this campground is probably not for you. We stayed three nights and while we absolutely loved the site location, and serenity of the campground the gate keeper made it clear he has a problem with younger couples with children. (Note: we barely left our motorhome due to work obligations, did not have unleashed dogs running around like other campers, and our kids were quieter than people outside around the fire at night). Perhaps it was because of a misunderstanding when I went to reserve our second night there and tried to pay cash (cash is not acceptable due to covid-19 which isn't a big deal) but the gentleman at the gate immediately drove back to our campsite (which is at the farthest corner of the campground and I walked therw 6 months pregnant so I couldn't exactly sprint back) to tell us at 2:24 as we're waiting for payment transfers to clear that we need to pay online or leave, which we were ALREADY doing. Despite this we still paid for another two nights yet I watched the gate keeper park in front of our motorhome each afternoon verifying our reservation. As if this harassment wasn't enough to make us feel unwelcome, as we're packing up to checkout by 2pm on our day of departure he starts calling our phone at 1:47 over and over to tell us we NEED to contact the gate immediately because checkout is at 2pm. It wasn't 2pm and we won't even mention all the 55+ campers he allowed to check in starting at 9am. (Note: Every other camper we came into contact with at this campsite was sweet as pie and so respectful). Unfortunately the gate keepers attitude essentially just ruined the stay.

First time visiting this lake. We were there for Pro Bass Fishing League Tournament. Buckhorn State Park is an awesome park. Spoiled to site #114, a drive thru on the water with a wooden deck at your door! Beautiful East Texas Lake.

It’s a beautiful park and staff was super nice. Our class A is 13’ tall... the host said he would address it and helped us move to another site. It was a bit tight getting there but we were able to do it. The pedestal threw errors at 50amp but 30amp was ok. Will definitely give them another chance, though.

Enjoyed my recent stay in your beautiful park at Buckhorn Creek on Lake O' Pines near Jefferson, TX. Friendly staff and bathroom/shower facilities were clean and nicely maintained (which is a plus)! Wonderful views of the lake. Buckhorn is conveniently located near Jefferson, TX where there's great shopping in quaint little shops owned by locals and great places to eat. Just a 20 minute drive away in the tiny town of Avinger, TX are two of the best restaurants in the area: Five D Cattle Company Steakhouse (BEST steaks around) and also Corbett's Catfish & More (Best fish/seafood) . I highly recommend this park and will be returning!
