From Beaumont, take U.S. Highway 69/96 North and take the Mitchell Road exit onto Mitchell Road (just before the U.S. Highway 69/96 split). Go approximately 0.4 miles on the access road and turn east (right) onto Mitchell Road. Then turn immediately north (left) onto FM 3513 (Village Creek Parkway). Go approximately two miles and turn east (right) on Alma Drive. Cross the railroad tracks (veer to the left) and continue 0.5 miles to the park entrance.
Really cute small State Park. Primitive campsites a bit of a walk from parking on a sandy trail. Little bit of challenge if you have bad ankles or mobility problems. Electric/water/rv sites are not spacious to sides of drive, but do go back behind drive. Some screening from neighbors but not alot. May be issue if camping with dogs. Look at pictures on park website I didn't explain well. Bathroom was clean. Swimming area is down a trail that is marked as challenging, I didn't walk it. Lots of walking & biking trails. Was there on a Wednesday afternoon so it wasn't busy.
There is so much to explore here! Very helpful and nice park rangers that are happy to answer any questions you have. Plenty of public facilities like sleep cabins, restrooms, and camp grounds. There is a swimming hole and a place to kayak, but beware of gators ( though I hear they are a rare sight).
Very nice park with super friendly staff, nice trails, and camping. We had no trouble getting into our site but they are a little close. Could barely let out the awning. We don’t have slides but I could see that being a problem in our specific site. With the stair step sites you feel closer to other sites than you are.
Overall, though it’s a great park and campground with lots to do within driving distance.
