[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.106″ custom_margin=”30px|||”]Willow Oak is located 14 miles south of Hemphill on Texas State Hwy. 87 on Toledo Bend Lake.

The area is open all year and all overnight visitors are required to pay a camping fee. While you should check on camping fees, from 2000 – June, 2010 they have held steady at, generally, $4 per campsite and $2 per vehicle for day use. The area has tent camping sites located along the shoreline of the lake. Each site has a tent platform, table, and lantern post.
