About
Overview
San Augustine Park is set along the Ayish Bayou tributary on the shores of Sam Rayburn Reservoir.
In spring, take advantage of excellent birding opportunities as neotropical birds like warblers and vireos pass through the lake en route to the Gulf of Mexico.
Recreation
The lake is a highly popular destination for boating and fishing. Game fish include largemouth bass, bluegill and channel catfish, but it is the abundance of bass, which inspires more than 500 annual tournaments.
Facilities
San Augustine features 100 sites with electric and water hook-ups. Among the many amenities are a group shelter, designated swim beach (open Apr-Sep), volleyball, boat ramp and an interpretive trail.
Natural Features
With more than 114,000 surface acres, Sam Rayburn is the largest man-made lake that is completely within the boundaries of the state of Texas. The reservoir is fed by the Angelina River, a major tributary of the Neches River.
The piney woods region boasts native flora like orchids, insect-eating plants and scores of animal species.
Nearby Attractions
From the eastern edge of the lake, hikers can embark on a 28-mile trail that heads east to the Toledo Bend Reservoir.

Is SAN AUGUSTINE fully booked?
A campground showing no availability is almost never full for good. People cancel — plans change, weather turns, someone books three weekends and keeps one — and the site goes straight back into the booking system, usually without warning and often at odd hours. The reason sold-out campgrounds feel impossible is not that sites never free up; it is that nobody is watching at the moment they do.
CampHawk watches SAN AUGUSTINE in Jasper, TX for you. We recheck it every 15 seconds, around the clock, and the moment a site opens we send a text, an email and a push notification — and on Recreation.gov we can put the site straight into your cart, so it is held while you get to your phone.
Searching is free and needs no account — the calendar above is live right now. Watching SAN AUGUSTINE for cancellations is the paid part.
