Trail Notes

What we noticed on the ground

On a cold and rainy February day in 2021 I loaded up the RV and headed east to visit Johnson Creek Camp, Lake O' The Pines. This is a lake that I have been hearing a lot of great things about so of course I had to go see Johnson Creek Camp, Lake O' The Pines for myself! Lake O' The Pines is a beautiful Corps of Engineers lake deep in the East Texas Piney woods close to Jefferson Texas. Johnson Creek Camp is partially closed in the off season so there were only a few other campers in the park. I was really surprised at the number of white tail deer that call Johnson Creek Camp home. There had to be close to 2 dozen deer wondering around. Come along with me as I explore Johnson Creek COE Recreation Area on Lake O' The Pines!

Mapped with our U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers stops.

Campnab

Want the best campsite?

I do too.

I want the right site, on the right dates — not just whatever happens to be left when I make the reservation.

That's why I use Campnab.

I tell Campnab the campground, my dates, and the sites I'm looking for. If one of those sites opens up, Campnab lets me know.

Then it's up to me to grab it through the campground's reservation system.

Campnab doesn't book the campsite for me. It watches for the opening so I don't have to.

👉 Have Campnab watch for your campsite.
