Lake Bob Sandlin State Park - Cherokee Trace Camping Area in TX -- Campground & RV Camping in Texas

One of four primary camping loops at Lake Bob Sandlin State Park in northeast Texas, where two ecoregions converge on a 9,000-acre lake. Cherokee Trace provides electric campsites with 30-amp hookups and water, ranging from 32 to 53 feet in length, with nearby restrooms and hot showers. The park features 3.3 miles of wooded trails through massive trees and tall grasses, excellent largemouth bass and catfish fishing from a lighted pier and boat ramp, a gift shop, kayak and fishing pole rentals, and a fish-cleaning station. The lake was impounded in 1977 by the Fort Sherman Dam and is named after Bob Sandlin, a local civic leader.

The road in has not been measured -- unknown, not bad. Sits on broad, near-level ground.

The Lake Bob Sandlin shoreline is 0.1 mi off. Night skies measure Bortle 4 -- a rural sky with a glow on the horizon. Open country -- nothing named rises within 30 miles of here. The nearest town, Pittsburg, is 7.9 mi off.
