I second what Gene said about the Mexican restaurant, we eat there four or five times a year and enjoy it. Toledo Bend is huge with over 1,200 miles of shore line, so it's different in the various areas. Variables are many for sure. I like the SRA San Miguel campground as well. Not the hustle and bustle of the state campgrounds, plus lab friendly unlike the state campgrounds. I do not stay at places otherwise. If they're not welcome, then neither am I. San Miguel facilities are nice and off the main lake when the wind gets bad (which it does at times), isolated, covered boat house, etc.

We have the annual Toledo Bend crappie.com gathering the last weekend of February each year. Huge fun, come join us then.
