Eagle’s Roost Campsite

2 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Hike-in access and a no-pets policy are the first facts to know about Eagle's Roost Campsite, a free dispersed site managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers along Lake Texoma. It sits on a wooded peninsula accessed via a spur off the Cross Timbers Trail, a 14-mile point-to-point route that reviewers describe as more technical than most in the region. No facilities. The site draws hikers using it as a gear shakedown before longer trips, and fishing boats on the lake are the main noise source. Campers planning a multi-day itinerary can find places to camp around Gordonville or continue along the trail to the nearby Cross Timbers Texoma Hiking Trail Primitive Campsite. Note that at least one recent report flags access issues and possible private property complications, so confirming current conditions before visiting is worth the effort.

Favorite campsite on entire Cross Timber’s Trail

Cross Timber’s Trail is technical for the region and is a 14 mile point to point trail along the shore of Lake Texoma. It’s on army Corps Of Engineers Land and there are many free walk/hike in first come first serve campsites. But this is my favorite!!!! It’s way up on a wooded peninsula along a spur that overlooks the lake. Birds flock over and it’s far enough away from the freeway that it’s quiet (with the exception of the occasional fishing boat). The trail is more technical than most in the vicinity and is a great place to do a gear shake down and train for those longer through hikes in more mountainous regions.
