New listing
Buckhorn Creek Campground is situated along the banks of Lake O' the Pines in the Ark-La-Tex portion of the Pineywoods of east Texas, near the states of Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana, at 2669 FM 726, Jefferson, TX. The gate house is open 10am-6pm Monday through Saturday and 12pm-6pm Sunday. Boating, fishing, water sports, and wildlife viewing are all popular pastimes at the campground. Hunting opportunities for white-tailed deer, waterfowl, and small game are available on nearby public lands. Lake O' the Pines fishing includes largemouth, spotted, and white bass along with crappie, catfish, and sunfish; in addition to boat fishing there are areas for bank fishing along the shore and below the dam along Big Cypress Bayou. Birdwatchers are also encouraged to bring their binoculars, as numerous resident and migratory bird species inhabit the area. Bald eagle sightings are a common occurrence in fall and winter, and they are occasionally sighted in spring and summer. Buckhorn Creek features 57 RV campsites with water and electric hookups. There are also 38 non-electric tent campsites, which have a tent pad, picnic table, fire ring, and lantern pole. Restrooms with showers are located in each section of the park, and trash receptacles are located throughout. A boat ramp, courtesy dock, playground, and sewer dump station are also provided. Lake O' the Pines includes about 18,700 acres of water and 9,000 acres of land, encompassing an area so large it spans five counties. The lake was created by the construction of the Ferrell's Bridge Dam on the Big Cypress Bayou, originally as part of the overall plan for flood control in the Red River Basin below Denison Dam in Oklahoma. The nearby towns of Jefferson and Marshall offer plenty of historic and tourist attractions, and Texas Wildflower Trail routes are located along the roads surrounding the lake.
