We deviated on our scheduled trip to visit this lake to check out waterfront lots. This lake is about an hour northeast of Houston, Texas. This is a beautiful heavily treed park. No satellite reception & air card did not work here so we missed Americon Idol. Campsites are 90 feet apart and come with water & 50 amp electric or full hookups including sewer. We chose the water & electric site for $18 per night. The state park also charges day use fee per person in addition to camping fee of $2 per person per night. The premium sites are waterfront with full hookups. The park was very clean and all natural landscaping. I would rate this park F****. The lake is huge, bigger than Lake Tahoe; but water clarity was not very good, very murky and full of green algea. I would not swim in this lake. Caught a torrential downpour at a shopping center and got soaked running to the car. Barbequed some hamburgers in the rain and found some good values for houses on the lake. We found a one bedroom house with separate garage on a huge 4 parcel lot. They called it 1/2 acre, but based on our current half acre, this one seems twice as large. This lot had no access to the water but had a wonderful view of the lake and was priced at only $100K. I would certainly consider buying this one if it were not for the murky lake water. Also, it is really humid here too.
