A long-term RV park near Tyler, TX — on the lake

Why look outside town

Lake living, a short drive from Tyler

Tyler has plenty of RV parks built for a night or two — busy, close-packed, and right on the road. Caney Trails is a different kind of place: a long-term community on 40 wooded acres of Lake Palestine, where mature adults settle in for the season or the long haul.

You trade the highway hum for the lake, and you’re still close to everything Tyler offers — shopping, dining, and medical care — plus Athens, Palestine, and Jacksonville just down the road. For many people relocating to East Texas, working a longer assignment, or retiring on the water, it’s the best of both worlds.
