I really like Johnson Creek Camp at Lake o' of the Pines.
On a recent trip from Arkansas to the Texas coast (Galveston area) to attend the 6th Annual Girl Camper Camporee at the Margaritaville Resort in Crystal Beach (it was a lot of fun!), I camped at Johnson Creek Camp on the way to and back home for two nights each.
I have my favorite camp sites - and this is funny - on my return trip I was driving to my camp site, and someone was occupying it! But then I realized that I had not booked my favorite camp site but the one across the road. Duh!
The piney woods of east Texas are beautiful and I hope to return again someday.
Concerning the camp. The shower house/bathrooms were typical COE style. Nothing fancy but clean and good enough for this camping girl. The sites were clean and the grass mowed.
The best part is with my Lifetime America the Beautiful Pass I get to camp at half price. YAY!
That's all.
Cheers.

- 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.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
