Steinhagen Lake - COE/Magnolia Ridge

Denis Diderot

The pads are serviceable and clean, the showers have hot water, the boat ramps are easily accessible, and the staff is friendly. There is a kid pond, which is stocked once a year by the park, and local anglers place their catches there from time to time. Watch out for alligators in the main lake.

Great place to camp nice and clean. Awesome folks working there.

Hosts Lisa and Ken were welcoming and helpful. Sites are nicely situated in the woods or along the lake, spread out over several sections. Beautiful place to watch the sunrise over the lake filtering through the cypress trees. Core of Engineers camping never disappoints.

This park looks more like Louisiana than Texas with it's large magnolia and cypress trees with the Spanish moss (that is not it's technical name) hanging throughout the perimeter of the lake. The roads are shaded and in good shape, perfect for bike riding. The RV sites are in clusters, making for less opportunity of noisy neighbors. The boat ramp and jetty are nice and user friendly. The RV sites have a covered concrete pad with picnic table. Showers have hot water (yay!) and for the most part well maintained; a little dated and wood around showers are due to be replaced. The campgrounds are shaded and the lake is filled with cypress trees around the edges so if you want a huge, open view, you're not really gonna get it from most RV sites here. Well maintained grounds with no trash. We prefer a more open lake view so this was not our favorite but that is just comparing apples to oranges. It's a well kept, shady, relaxing campground.

Perfect spot to enjoy Big Thicket. No frills but very clean. Offers a covered shelter/picnic table, fire ring, and the sites are spaced nice and far apart for quietness and privacy. We saw lots of wildlife as you are right next to the water. We saw a small family of wild pigs, deer, baby alligators, and lots of cranes and herons. We came to visit the paddling trails offered in Beaumont. This site was way nicer than the options offered there (RV parks). The lady who ran the park was very friendly as well.
