Overview

Pat Mayse East Campground is on the banks of Pat Mayse Lake in the Red River Basin in Lamar County, Texas. Easy access to developed park areas has made the lake a haven for families who enjoy camping, picnicking, swimming, boating, fishing and other outdoor recreation.

Recreation

The lake provides excellent opportunities for boating, swimming and fishing. Anglers fish for largemouth bass, white crappie, sunfish, striped bass and channel and flathead catfish, among other species.

Hunting is a very popular activity in the area. The surrounding lands are managed for upland game and whitetail deer. Other species present include fox squirrel, gray squirrel, bobwhite quail, mourning dove, cottontail rabbit, raccoon and fox. Opossum, beaver, mink, skunk and nutria are also present.

The lake also provides resting and feeding habitat for migratory waterfowl. A few miles north of the project area are the famed Red River Bottoms where waterfowl congregate in impressive numbers.

Equestrian trails are available right next to the campground.

We stayed in the horse campground. Sites were shady, had electric, and the grounds were beautiful. The trails were great. Good footing and easy 9for the most part). I did not go into the bathroom, however, as others said that they were disgusting.

Decent gravel area for setting up our camper for the first time. Beach is very muddy so pack proper water shoes!

There were no camp hosts visible the entire time. Campsite behind us had at least 8 adults and 4 kids, and a teenager driving a pickup without a muffler down on the beach. Thankfully they were quiet at night.

When you go camping, Pat mayes is beautiful, safe and has great spots. But please have respect for other campers and be quiet at night, and don't let your dogs bark all night and no parties. It's rude and disrespectful to families trying to sleep. My grandkids had a good time and fun for little weekend trips. Nothing against the park, just some of the visitors need to thunk of others in the park at night.
