CampgroundDay Use

Facilities

Ebenezer caters best to equestrian campers and tent campers. Equestrian sites have electric hookups and horse corrals near each site. Ebenezer Hall, an enclosed building with a full kitchen, A/C and heating, is available for reservation.

The park does not have a boat ramp, and the nearest boat ramp is four miles down at Twin Dikes Park.

Natural Features

The campground, near the Sam Rayburn Dam, is fully shaded by towering pine trees.

The lake is located deep in the woods, bordered by the Angelina National Forest and near the Sabine National Forest.

Recreation

In addition to horseback riding, activities include fishing, picnicking and swimming. Birding is also rewarding, with chances to see resident wood ducks and migratory birds on their journey to and from the Gulf Coast.
