Best Dispersed Camping near Calera, OK
Dispersed camping options near Calera, Oklahoma include primitive sites along Lake Texoma and Blue River. The Cross Timbers Trail provides access to hike-in backcountry sites including 5 Mile Camp and Eagle's Roost, both located on the Texas side of Lake Texoma. Eagle's Roost offers a particularly scenic location on a wooded peninsula overlooking the lake. As described in feedback on The Dyrt, it's "far enough away from the freeway that it's quiet with the exception of the occasional fishing boat."
Blue River Camp in Oklahoma provides more accessible dispersed camping with drive-in options for tents and RVs. This area features waterfront sites along the Blue River with natural formations and swimming opportunities. Visitors should note permit requirements, as a hunting/fishing license or wildlife conservation passport is needed to enter. A recent review clarified that "the passport is for any activity on the grounds, excluding hunting or fishing and they are $51 currently." Unlike the fully primitive Lake Texoma sites, Blue River Camp provides some basic amenities including toilets, trash disposal, and a sanitary dump station.
