Red Hills Lake

Red Hills Lake is located a short distance from Toledo Bend Reservoir. Completed in 1940 by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), this area offers camping, fishing and swimming on a picturesque 19-acre lake.

Whether in an RV or tent camping, visitors have 28 campsites to choose from. Each site has a level pad, picnic table and campfire ring which can be used as a cooking grill. There are nine sites with electrical hookups on Dogwood Loop.

Hot showers, drinking water and toilet facilities are available within a short distance of each campsite. The swimming area, which also contains a children's playground, is open May 31 - October 1. A waste/dump station is available for RVs.

Visitors can hike along a short 1/2- mile trail to the site of a lookout tower built by the CCC on Chambers Hill. In consideration of other visitors, no off-road vehicles may be ridden in the campground.
