KOA Brookeland – Kayaking, Swimming Pools, and Lake Cabins
Are you looking for an extended stay destination on Sam Rayburn that has something for everyone?
Many of our readers keep coming back to KOA Brookeland.
Make sure to get to know the friendly owners who are knowledgeable about the region’s restaurants, events, and activities.
A major highlight is the super comfortable cabins from cozy to expansive. We stayed in one with six people and everyone had plenty of space. Even better, all units have air conditioning and heat helping you maximize your comfort level year-round. If you are not quite ready to unplug, enjoy 200 channels of satellite TV and wi-fi.
Each cabin has a fire pit and your first load of firewood is included. You can even cook on your fire pit. We have used our fire pit to grill steaks, make kabobs, and even cook breakfast. Be sure to bring fixings for s’mores.
There are multiple swimming pools to help you beat the summer heat. There is also a swimming / kayaking creek.
KOA Brookeland also offers a large number of RV sites and tent camping.
Many families use KOA Brookeland as their home base whenever they visit Lake Sam Rayburn.
For fishermen, there are on-site stocked fishing ponds. You can catch perch, bass, and catfish. Sam Rayburn is one of the 
world’s top bass lakes, so you’ll want to try the main lake as well. You can access Sam Rayburn by canoe or kayak directly from KOA Brookeland. Access for bass boats and pontoons is available less than five minutes away.
KOA Brookeland is also popular with equine enthusiasts. There is a large horse barn available.
