Buckhorn Creek Campground sits on the shoreline of Lake O' the Pines in the piney woods of northeast Texas, in the Ark-La-Tex region near Arkansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. The reservoir here created by Ferrell's Bridge Dam on Big Cypress Bayou stretches across five counties and offers broad water-based recreation: a boat ramp and courtesy dock put you on the 18,700 acres of lake for boating, water sports, and fishing for largemouth, spotted and white bass, crappie, catfish and sunfish; bank-fishing spots and the area below the dam on Big Cypress Bayou are popular for anglers who prefer to stay shore-side.














Length limits vary by campsite.
Some sites have no hookups.

“not enough amps on electric to run electric grill. 15 amps way to small”
“Site was very clean. Bathrooms were clean as well. Would definitely recommend.”
“One of the best state parks I have used. Great lake views, paved streets, really nice paved parking pads, not crowded, treed lots. I wish I had more days to stay.”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (28,134 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
94 individual reservable campsites from Recreation.gov, checked Nov 7. Rates are the listed nightly rates.
