Needed to be mowed - I think there is 4 Rvs housing Park Host - wondering what exactly they get paid for - not mowed - bathrooms closed - never see any cleanup going on - no one at gate - would like to know what they get paid to do! Please reply!

Very relaxing

@DennisB9968665 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #36

Had no issues. Campsite was clean when we arrived. Quiet at night and beautiful

@MILICAV2FC08C5 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #15

The park was great once I got in through the ramp. I didnt record the code thinking Ill access my confirmation email. But I couldnt due to no strong signal for my phone to log into my account. I had to drive to a location where I could get into my email.

@KarenD6822172 · Camped on Jun 16, 2025 at Campsite #12

We love this park. Great fishing. Beautiful views. And its nice to be able to swim in a lake when its Texas hot. We will be back.

@JuadalupeF9528 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #S4

The boat launch and dock have been in disrepair/ closed for a year... although game wardens launch there without issue all the time, double standard? The sign as well. Clear cutting has helped with bugs and stray animals, that's a plus.

@MichaelW725874 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #3

Great park

@SteveM7756642 · Camped on May 9, 2025 at Campsite #37

Site 37 had a large tree that had fell and was blocking access to the lake. Couldn't pull the boats up to camp. The corp of engineers knew about this and we even seen the ranger drive through the park. No one fixed this problem. I didn't know this was a problem until I arrived to camp. Bad main breaker shut down whole loop. They also knew about the breaker but didn't fix it. The boat ramp was closed. The corp of engineers blames in on money and resources, but the public knows that is not the truth. Been camping there many years, this is the worst it has ever been. Used to be a really nice place. Whoever makes these decisions on behalf of the corp of engineers needs to do better.

We always have fun at Hanks. However, we are very disappointed in the way that the park looks. There was a lot of work done over the last 2 years, but a storm came and there has been no clean up. There was quite a few limbs and trees down. A lot of the spaces are closed as is the boat ramp. Also the old spaces are in need of a makeover. Do you have a date in which the clean up will begin? A lot of time and money was spent I'm sure, on all the work, but now looks awful and the places that are closed if fixed, would generate more money.

Nice and quiet during the weekdays, sans the random late night trespassing of local teens who skirt the perimeter on ATV's and race up and down the street like a raid. I get it, theyre teens out to have fun and they dont damage anything but what they do is illegal and disrespectful and does pose a potentially disastrous and tragic threat with pedestrians taking a night walk. Another issue I noticed is, again, with teens not observing the no wake zone. Jealousy on my part? Maybe, i didnt bring my boat...and maybe Id like to lose 40 lbs and 40 years and be a teen again. There are pine trees that reach to the heavens, with some being half destroyed by beetles and wood peckers, so pick your spot carefully and consider upcoming weather to avoid falling branches or even, potentially, entire trees. If the review sounds negative, then my plan is working, because honestly I would like to keep this place to myself and watch the eagles that live in the area and enjoy the serenity...except the weekends. I like it and, no doubt, will be back.

@JudgeRodC93A3F · Camped on Apr 25, 2025 at Campsite #G1

we rented the group spot as well as 4 or 5 other separate sites for our 40+ group. EXCELLENT LOCATION!!!! The camp host, Ms. Evelyn was super helpful and nice. Sites were clean and spacious. Our church group will be going back and hopefully we will have more people and more fun!!!

@Patricia266316 · Camped on Apr 10, 2025 at Campsite #4

Love camping at Hanks Creek. Inconvenient to have to unload outside of the campground.

@DaleH691212242 · Camped on Apr 6, 2025 at Campsite #S7

Great campground

@DonaldD9914764 · Camped on Mar 8, 2025 at Campsite #33

Great campground when the boat ramps and all camping loops are open.

@MelodyR6875965 · Camped on Feb 28, 2025 at Campsite #15

Excellent park, quiet, well kept spots.

@Patricia266316 · Camped on Feb 16, 2025 at Campsite #S5

Love Hanks Creek

@DonP0204135B26 · Camped on Feb 8, 2025 at Campsite #36

Enjoyed 2 of the 3 nights,rain cut our stay short. Hanks Creek RV Park was great,plan on going back as soon as we can.

@DawnTy4121C814 · Camped on Jan 31, 2025 at Campsite #35

We enjoyed our visit. The campground was quiet with mostly adults. Our site had beautiful trees and great access to launch the kayak.The showers & restrooms were clean, but they do not supply soap in the restroom. For the reservation price, there should be soap to wash hands. It was inconvenient to remember to bring ours each time.Several sites were closed due to recent flooding.

@BRIANC8885365 · Camped on Jan 17, 2025 at Campsite #37

We visit Hanks Creek often. This trip we arrived and got unhooked and set up to discover there was no electricity at our site. When I opened the box the inside panel fell out on the ground. I went to the host to report the issue. The host said that site had just been worked on and they thought it was ready. The host moved us to another site and later we met other campers that had booked on the same loop and they had to move also due to the sites not having electricity either. Hanks Creek was severely damaged due to flooding but the COE should have done a better job of making sure the sites that were open had been completely repaired. Very inconvenient to get all set up to find out the site is dead!

@DavidS9070347 · Camped on Dec 27, 2024 at Campsite #9

The park is wonderful and the campground hosts were very nice. BUT........on day two a war started. We learned that there is a house across the street where a group of men shoot off semi-automatic rifles regularly, ALL DAY LONG! It was truly horrendous. We packed up and left the next day because we were informed that sometimes they do this for several days in a row. So sad because it really is a beautiful campground.

@RonW5376631 · Camped on Dec 23, 2024 at Campsite #12

Great park, we stayed over Christmas and New Years. The fishing was great, caught bass from the bank everyday. Great water views. Mostly quiet except for a bit of gunfire in the area in the evenings. Flys were a problem but tolerable. A lot of the park was shut down due to hurricane damage. We would give it another stay.

@JERRYH8455525 · Camped on Jun 10, 2024 at Campsite #5

Greatest stay

@BethA4970524 · Camped on Jun 7, 2024 at Campsite #1a

Site was not as long as indicated. We were told we could park our cargo trailer on the grass, but it was soggy and we would've gotten stuck. No cell/internet signal. Camp host was off duty.

@MonicaL7FF859E · Camped on Jun 6, 2024 at Campsite #1c

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
