Lake Murvaul Park & Marina

Carthage, Texas

19 RV Sites, 5 Cabins

Lake Murvaul Park and Marina in Carthage, Texas, offers 19 full-hookup back-in RV sites and five cabins on a quiet East Texas reservoir, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. A single back-in category means every guest gets the same spec, with a marina, boat ramp, pavilion, playground, and on-site dining. Nineteen back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. One consistent category and no guesswork about what you booked. Five cabins round out the lodging. A laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The marina and boat ramp are the anchor, opening the lake for boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. A pavilion, playground, and on-site dining fill the rest. Pets are welcome. Lake Murvaul is a 1,000-acre reservoir on Murvaul Bayou in the Sabine River basin, and its size is exactly the point — small enough to stay quiet and protected, big enough for genuinely good crappie, bass, and catfish water. It never draws the crowds that the big East Texas reservoirs do, which is why regulars keep it to themselves. The lake sits ten miles southwest of Carthage, three miles south of Clayton, and 14 miles north of Timpson, in the Panola County Piney Woods. Carthage has the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame and the Jim Reeves Memorial, and Toledo Bend is within reach for anyone wanting bigger water. Spring and fall bring the best fishing and the most comfortable East Texas conditions, with summer drawing boating traffic. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.
