Martin Creek Lake State Park

Martin Creek Lake State Park
Tatum, Texas
March 2012

This was pretty neat park, just outside of Longview Texas.   It sits on a 5000 acre lake that supplies water for a power plant.   The fishing is excellent.   We saw several large catfish being cleaned.

The park has 80 RV sites and 20 cabins.   The RV sites are shaded, nice size and in decent shape.  Some of the pads were worn and broken.   Several of the sites has covered picnic tables.

The park has a island that is connected by a foot bridge and the island is only used for primitive camping.

We give this park a 7 out of 10.

Pros
Nice size lake
Great fishing
lots of spots
lots of shade
some spots had covered picnic tables
Cool primitive camping area

Cons
You could hear the power plant that was across the lake.
