Atlanta State Park Campground

It was easy to book a spot online. When I arrived the park ranger was very friendly and helpful. There were nice hiking trails to take the dog for a walk. You can also go hang out by the lake. We had a pull though spot with FHU. Cell coverage was not great, but I'm ok with that! I'd like to stay there again, but for a longer time. I was just there for a stop over between destinations.

The sites run parallel with the road so when you step out it opens onto the woods. Large, level, easy pull thru sites, fhu. That's about the extent of the good. The lake is a short walk from camping area. There is a boat ramp and swim area a short walk in the other direction. You're totally on the woods so it's dark, airless all day. The bugs were the worst I've ever experienced. Not just the flies, ticks and mosquitoes but swarms of some tiny white things that came out at dusk. If I left any lights on in my motorhome they literally covered the windows, even with blinds down. It was impossible to sit out at night and enjoy a fire. The lake is muddy, and murky and nothing I'd want to swim in. It is out in the middle of no where so it's quite a drive to get there.

The quietest park we have ever stayed at. Friendly staff, clean sites, and plenty of well marked hiking trails. Easy access to our FHU pull thru site. No real camp store. Only snacks at the entrance gate so stock up in Atlanta. No OTA channels but our hot spot was good enough to stream. We stayed two days in late February and shared our loop with only 4 other campers plus the host. The other campground only had 2 campers. During our walks, all we could hear were birds ( a lot of wood ducks) and the occasional fishing boat on the lake. This was the perfect stop to rest after a couple of long travel days.

We've camped in Texas state parks quite a bit the last 5 or 6 years, and we liked this one. We were in the Knights Bluff loop, #21 was a FHU pull thru with a large lot. Pedestal grill & a fire ring. Several enjoyable trails here. We also checked out the Wilkins Creek area, which was also nice. None of the sites are on the water but it's still a fine campground.

Great place right next to lake. Had issue with 20amp electric and they came out Sunday evening just before closing (4:46) and fixed it with a smile. Careful as only drive through sites have 50 amp. Full hookups are mostly 30/20 amp service. No problems with the 30+20 amp adapter cord. Sites are spaced apart in beautiful wooded setting, great day use area and boat ramp on lake.

We stayed in a FHU back-in site in the Knight's Bluff camp area, close (but not too close) to the restrooms with a nice small meadow between us and the woods. Nearby trailhead for Volksmarch trail is the opening to 4+ miles of excellent walking trails. This was the first weekend in February, so the area was very quiet during the week, but fully occupied on Saturday. No lake view from these sites, but we were only a short walk from the picnic area on the bluff which provides an unobstructed view of Lake Wright Patman. I carried my lawn chair to this open space on a cool moonless night and was rewarded with a spectacular view of the dark, star studded sky. The men's restroom (unheated) at Knight's Bluff has two private shower stalls, one wheel-chair accessible. Lots of hot water but it flows everywhere, so finding a dry area to stand while getting dressed was impossible.

We, unfortunately, only got to spend one night here on our way through the area but enjoyed some great stargazing due to the park being quite dark.

We appreciated electric and water being at the campsite, especially for the price.

The only thing negative we noticed during our very short stay was that while the bathrooms were clean, they seemed old and small. Men and women each had just one shower stall and it was behind only a shower curtain in the main restroom area. (We were in the Wilkins Creek Loop.)

The staff was friendly and welcoming. We'd like to come back and explore the area more when we have time.
