Blessing Trails RV Park

30 RV Sites

Blessing Trails RV Park in Broaddus, Texas, offers 30 pull-through RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet, steps from Sam Rayburn Reservoir.

One consistent category and an all-pull-through layout means no backing after a driving day and no guessing about what you reserved. One thing worth asking about: the park advertises that it pays for the electricity, which on a long stay in a Texas summer is a meaningful difference. On-site fishing guides are the standout amenity and tell you exactly who this park serves. Fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and hiking all run from the property or the lake. Pets are welcome. Sam Rayburn is the largest lake entirely within Texas — 114,000 acres of East Texas water with a bass, crappie, and catfish reputation that draws tournament anglers from across the South. A public boat ramp is six miles away and free; the private ramp at Powell Park is seven miles and charges $6 to launch. The Angelina National Forest surrounds much of the shoreline. Bass season and the fall run drive the heaviest demand, with summer bringing lake traffic. Reserve well ahead for tournament weekends, and ask about the current fall rates.
