Trail Notes
What we noticed on the ground
In the Texas State Park system there are 79 parks where you can RV camp. On a beautiful Spring week end in 2019 we load up Ms V OurV and head east to spend two nights at Martin Creek Lake State Park. This beautiful and scenic Texas State Park is located on the banks of Martin Creek Lake. Travel Due east from Dallas on I30 for about 2 hours and then south from Longview for about 40 miles and you will be smack dab in the wonderful east Texas Piney woods. Martin Creek Lake State Park is just across the lake from a large coal fired power plan and that is the only real draw back due to the constant noise. Martin Creek Lake State Park is an excellent boaters destination thanks to the two boat ramps and huge parking area. If you enjoy fishing then Martin Creek Lake Ste Park is also a great place for you to visit! Come along with me as I tour Martin Creek Lake State Park!

Campnab
Want the best campsite?
I do too.
I want the right site, on the right dates — not just whatever happens to be left when I make the reservation.
That's why I use Campnab.
I tell Campnab the campground, my dates, and the sites I'm looking for. If one of those sites opens up, Campnab lets me know.
Then it's up to me to grab it through the campground's reservation system.
Campnab doesn't book the campsite for me. It watches for the opening so I don't have to.
👉 Have Campnab watch for your campsite.
Affiliate link: Dude RV may earn a commission if you use this Campnab link. Campnab is optional cancellation watch, not the park reservation system, not an official park service, and not a guarantee that a site will open.
Starlink
Want to stay connected on the road?
So do I.
Dude RV travels, camps, uploads, and runs Factory from the road. Starlink keeps us connected.
I am not claiming it works at this campground. Coverage and performance vary.
Referral link: if you order Starlink through this Dude RV link, Dude RV may receive Starlink service credit that helps pay the internet bill. That is not a cash commission. Always check Starlink availability, coverage, plans, and pricing. This does not claim Starlink coverage, speed, pricing, or performance at this place.
