A wonderful wooded campground, with excellent views of the lake at many sites. Dump station was a little hard to find, but rest assured it is there. Clean campground, and a nice place to walk with some trails.

Clean, quiet park. Beautiful lake. Town of Minden is nice - worth the visit. Try Geaux Fresh restaurant- excellent! One issue coming into the park- turn into the road at the Beaver Dam recreation area sign. Then you will see sign for campground at the dump station.

Just stayed 1 night, but it is a nice park. Could use some work on the roads and limb trimming.

The fire rings at beaver dam campground in caney lakes recreation area are a major disappointment, they are too tall and many of them are missing a charcoal grate making cooking almost impossible.I suggest that they be replaced with fire rings that are about 6 to ten inches tall like many state parks use.Because beaver dam camp is my primary campground Im forced to bring my own grill.

The sites are very nicelots of treeson the water. The bathhouse was closed due to freezing weather. However, the bathhouse really needs updating. I will definitely return.

Beautiful park and gem of a campsite. The sites around us were empty so we had a 180 degree view of the lake. Site and grounds were very clean.

The site was large and had a beautiful view of the lake. We only stay one night in our travel home so we were not able to partake of local activities.
@CliffordS8456A · Camped on Dec 26, 2023 at Campsite #17
Love this campground. Our spot was large and very level with a great view of the lake.

Great park and very friendly host who was quite helpful. Take a ride to Gibsland for the Bonnie & Clyde museum. If you like fried chicken go to Cottons in Minden for the best fried chicken ever.

The website should have informed of the burn ban at this campground

Campground was very clean and the Host Mike was very helpful with information. Enjoyed riding the bike trails, taking a 5 mile hike around the lake and doing some kayaking. Spots were spaced out nicely. We will be back for sure.

Peaceful and beautiful. Love the sugar cane hike. We stayed 5 days at site #17 and enjoyed the views very much, T-Mobile has 2 bar 4G for watching smart TV, no checking in station but host is very helpful and the whole campground is maintained very well and kept clean. Didn’t use the restroom and showers though.

The park location was acceptable with nice nature trails. The camp restrooms and showers was below average and definitely could use some updating.

Site 17 was very enjoyable with good panoramic view of the lake. All sites were angled for easy back in. Camp host kept the roads blown off. Some fire pits needed repairs.

Very good location and our site had a very nice view. Unfortunately we were without water for several hours due to a water main break. This took by surprise everybody including the host.

The site was clean with pleanty of room for our rig with nice view of the lake. We had to go into town a few times to make call and use the internet. The park was big so it gave us a chance to ride our bike around the park.
No Service
@DavidG5648223 · Camped on Mar 23, 2022 at Campsite #17
Campground was very quiet and well run with a beautiful lake with fantastic sunrises and sunsets. Camp host very helpful and available if needed. The hiking trails were very nice and easily accessible from the campground.
