Sam Houston Jones State Park

| We stayed over the Memorial Day weekend. Our first stay at a state park. We were in site 62, last one available. BBQ grills and fire rings onsite. Located next to the bath house. We didn't use the showers there, but did go inside to look...

| Local beauty but a little ragged around the edges.

This park has a lot of natural beauty, cypress swamps and ponds, a beautiful river running along the edge of it, and lots of trails. On the other side of the coin, the place just looked a little worn down due to a lack of maintenance. Lots of potholes in the driving areas, one of the showers look pretty bad from the outside, just kind of had a feeling of being worn down. We would stay there again, but it could surely use some sprucing up.

| Nice location

Pretty location. Slept to the sounds of many frogs. Watched a hereon hunt for its breakfast behind my camping spot. Signs near the park's waters warn of crocs. The park is in a swamp next to the river. In spring/summer/fall I'm sure the bugs are bad. My stay was mid-winter and comfortable & big free. Camping sites are somewhat level. All are gravel with the campground 'roads' a bit potholed. Bath facilities and bathrooms are clean & maintained, and like stated in another's review older and a bit worn. Sign at bathroom notes Louisiana keeps cutting the state park's budget. The location received a 3-star as the sites are not all that level and potholed.
