Tailrace Channel Recreation Area
Largely an unknown recreation and camping area, Tailrace Channel is limited in its capacity to accommodate large RVs due to its lack of turn-around areas. That is, there is actually a place to turnaround, but if people are camped at that area, then you may find yourself driving in reverse back to the bridge.
Otherwise, it’s better suited for small to medium sized rigs, vans, and tent campers.
In our experience, what makes Tailrace Channel a plus for camping is the sound of rapids from Sabine River. Leaving your windows open (assuming you have screens to keep the bugs out) makes for a great white-noise to put you to sleep.
