      Dogwood Camp

      Ok campground but free

      Wooded and close to road with traffic all night. Bathroom with flush toilet and cold water hand sink but not supplied and not swept. Water faucets and trash receptacle available. Verizon 2 bars and no problem. I would not make a special trip but if going by would stay again. It’s free however!!

      Hunter's Camp

      Quiet spot in the Pine Trees

      Nice disbursed site. Map shows a camping loop that appears to have been abandoned by the Forest Service. It had a dead hog blocking the loop. This loop is about 150 yards from the vaulted toilet and garbage receptacle.

      There is another loop adjacent to the toilet and garbage that appears to have disbursed camping spots with places where fires were made.

      The camping area is open to the sky and has yellow pines that create random shade. Great place to charge with solar panels on a sunny day.

      The only other camper is a crazy dude on the old camping loop by the dead pig.

      Colfax Recreation Area RV Park & Campground

      Nice spot with great access

      This is a quiet park right on the Red River. Sunsets are amazing over the river. The facilities are well maintained and clean. The sites are spaced nicely and tucked into the trees. All spots are full hookup and 50 amp service. The water pressure is a little low, but sufficient. The only drawback is there is a large warehouse next door that is very well lit all night
