Great potential if Sabine River Authority (SRA) provides proper maintenance and if there was some patrol and enforcement of the camp rules.
It's difficult to understand what agency is responsible for keeping the facility safe and enforcing the camp regulations because it is a US Forest Service (USDA National Forest) property but it is maintained by SRA.
Very little is given about this campground online so I will hopefully be able to help until the SRA and National Forest sites include more relevant information.
PROS: campground and individual campsite layouts are functional, location is remote- no highway noise and no city noises. Four restroom facilities, three have cold showers. Campground trash disposal sites are maintained-fresh garbage bags and frequent trash service. Potable water is near all campsites.
CONS:
Restrooms: 2 of 4 men's were out of order, restrooms not maintained more than trash cans- insect/spider activity is quite an impediment and the buildings basically just need a major sweeping and scrubbing of the bugs and their droppings. I'm an experienced camper and I don't expect super nice and tidy bathrooms so this was excessive. Showers are COLD only. NO HOT WATER.
Street light by large trash disposal area is not working.
The one mile hiking trail is not maintained but it would be really great if so. We had to manually create passable portions in the trail (navigating tall grass, shrubs, vines, and many spider webs), thus getting far off the actual intended pathway and a bit lost. No camp authority was seen patrolling, just a local Sheriff once (not responsible for campground rule enforcement) and a game warden.
Camp regulations are not followed by many campers. For example, generators are used outside allowed hours, including many people using them all night long (restricted use from 10pm-7am), making the experience quite polluted by the loud humming. I tried to report it but the SRA, Sabine National Forest office and the supervisor's office is not open outside of business hours and their answering machines don't leave any other contact numbers.
