Camping at Hanks Creek near Jasper

Public campground · Jasper · 55 campsites · 1 group

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Hanks Creek sits on the forested edge of Sam Rayburn Reservoir, one of the largest man-made lakes entirely within Texas at just over 114,000 surface acres. The campground feels like an outpost in the Piney Woods: tall living pines dominate the landscape and support a surprising variety of plants including orchids and carnivorous species as well as local wildlife.

Selected reviews

Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (355 reviews, ★ 4.0). Not written or edited by us.

“We enjoyed the peace and quite. Our site was very clean and the park hosts are friendly. I do wish you would put in your rules that people that have a dog must be on a leach and pick up their deposits. I believe leaving a site in good condition for the next campers. ”

Marvin S 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“It is a nice family park, however, sites 16 - 30 being closed is a SHAME and UNECESSARY!”

How far ahead to book Hanks Creek

For May weekends, book about 90 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 34 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

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 (17,501 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.
