Great for Fishermen.

We stayed in the cabins for a High School Fishing tournament on Caddo Lake. The cabins are very clean and comfortable. There is decent parking for trucks and boat trailers. A boat launch is also right across the street. These cabins are great if you are camping with a group. We would stay again. Thanks.

The perfect cabin for us!

We stayed here while in town for a bass tournament on Lake Caddo. Cabin was just a few minutes from launch ramp with space to park boat. And the cabin was perfect for us! Everything was clean and neat and the small space was laid out to maximize efficiency. The two of us and all our “fishing stuff” never felt crowded or cluttered. When I had a question the owner replied very quickly and even checked in on us after arrival and checkout. Will definitely book here again next time I’m in the area.
