History
Established in 1972.
The Angelina River was dammed and flooded in 1969, with Shirley Creek Marina being developed in 1972. Since then, many owners have grown this beautiful park into the keep sake it is today. In 2015, Zack Spencer purchased the property and has been working tirelessly to renovate every aspect of this hidden gem in the Angelina National Forest. We have over 80 RV spots with hook ups, 13 gorgeous cabins, plenty of tent camping and even boat docks for your fishing or house boat. You’ll arrive as a guest and leave as a friend!
Shirley Creek Marina is located on the north end of Sam Rayburn Reservoir, which is a beautiful lake with over 560 miles of shoreline. The north end of the lake is littered with tree stumps, which makes this end of the lake perfect for catching some huge fish. Boat lanes as well as recreational boating areas have been cleared to give you access to the largest portion of the lake (which is relatively stump free) and to areas for skiing, boarding, or tubing.
When we stayed at Shirley Creek, we enjoyed all of the typical camping activities - games, good food, campfires, starlit nights, swimming, and unwinding after a hard work
But one of the main reasons we come to Shirley Creek is to enjoy all that Sam Rayburn has to offer. It is a beautiful lake with plenty of coves, sandy beaches, and smooth water. Read our review of Sam Rayburn Reservoir to learn more about the lake and what there is to see and do.
