I’m new to camping in Texas and was referred here by friends more seasoned in experience. What a great little spot! Fee is $6 a night but with America the Beautiful pass only $3. Option to pay cash with envelopes and drop box provided, or online with a QR code to scan at the iron ranger. Bathrooms were always clean yet showers were not hot. Ranger drives thru often to keep an eye and empty trash.... I’m new to camping in Texas and was referred here by friends more seasoned in experience. What a great little spot!

Bathrooms were always clean yet showers were not hot. Ranger drives thru often to keep an eye and empty trash. After speaking with her she turned up the water heater and yes it was much needed and I was able to enjoy a warm shower. I’ve been told they keep the heater down or off due to drive-by-night travelers who stop by for a free shower…makes sense. Picnic table, fire pit with attached swivel grill, and electric at every site. Highly recommend.

Kinda different from other campgrounds. Actually two camping areas, one on each side of the county road. Be careful entering and exiting the driveways, speed limit is 55 but most fly through at around 70 or more. I'm surprised there hasn't been a bad accident this weekend. Shower seems ok but we didn't actually use them since there's no hot water.

There is no hot water for showers. It's been out for years, so don't expect it to be fixed. The sights are very close together, but there were only two other campers on my side of the road, so it worked out. Most of the power boxes on the north side do not work and are not marked. Luckily, someone told me before I set up. And the driveway is a mud pit after it rains. You will also be parking in th... There is no hot water for showers.

Most of the power boxes on the north side do not work and are not marked. Luckily, someone told me before I set up. And the driveway is a mud pit after it rains. You will also be parking in the grass, so make sure you have a 4-wheel drive vehicle. There is no QR code on the fee box, so make sure to bring cash. It was nice to have electric for $3 a night, but I had to go to Ragtown to take a shower and use rugs in the yard to avoid the mud. There is grass, but the spots aren't level, so don't park where water will puddle. It is on both sides of the road, but there is very little traffic, so it isn't really a problem. If you want peace and quiet, then this is a good place, because it's not crowded. But if you don't have a shower in your rig, go to Ragtown Rec Area. I gave this 4 stars because the price is good and it's quiet.

These are i believe 6.00 per day. I really like it there because I can take a break get power and water. Even though alot of trees my starlink worked. There are a few trails you can walk if you find. It was really cool fining a little hidden grotto. Sorry I only had a few photos

Nice open Forest Service campground. Campsite on both sides of the road. Each site has power and water. Camped on a Monday, so relatively empty. The picnic tables are worn out and should be replaced with more durable plastic ones. Campground is clean and has one bathroom and shower for each gender. $6/ day or $3 for seniors. T-Mobile and AT&T has signal, but only 2 bars.
