East Bluff #1 Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

McClellan Creek National Grassland manages East Bluff #1 Campground, a small drive-in site accessed via a gravel road directly off the highway. The road is described as rough. Tent sites are small and unlevel, with some shade available, and a pit toilet on-site. No water is available, so campers should bring their own supply. Fees apply: $10 per night for camping, with a 14-day stay limit on a first-come, first-served basis. Pets are allowed. One reviewer noted conflicting information about whether camping is permitted in this specific area, so confirming current access and regulations with the US Forest Service before visiting is advisable.

This site suits self-sufficient tent campers comfortable with basic facilities and unpaved access.

Tent camping, picnic table, trash, pit toilet, NO WATER 

Located on a gravel road right off the highway. It is a bit rough. There is a small pond/lake and the water level is a bit low. The campground is surrounded by Texas grasslands and is so pretty. There is a small day use area with a pit toilet. Very small tent sites and not level. There is some shade and you can see another campground just across the lake.
