Greenbelt Reservoir Dispersed

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Sitting along the edge of Greenbelt Reservoir outside Pampa, Texas, this free dispersed area gives drive-in campers direct access to a lake shoreline with no fee and no reservation required. More than five established spots are visible from the access road, and the ground transitions from rocky to sandy as you approach the water. A gate marks the entrance but appears to remain open, and reviewers report no issues reaching sites in two-wheel drive.

Crowd density here runs low. Multiple visitors across different seasons arrived to find themselves the only camper on site, or nearly so. The reservoir provides fishing, kayaking, and swimming access, and the sound of water lapping the shore carries to nearby sites. Traffic noise from the road is audible during the day but fades after dark, as Will P. notes: "traffic driving past abated as the evening came." Cell service varies by carrier, with strong 5G reported on AT&T and spottier results for others.

Facilities are minimal. Portable toilets and at least one dumpster are on-site, though servicing frequency is inconsistent, particularly off-season. Some spots have stone fire rings. No trash cans are guaranteed at individual sites, so packing out is a reasonable approach. Short RVs and trailers up to 20 feet can navigate the access road without difficulty. Nearby, Greenbelt Lake Sandy Beach and Greenbelt Lake Kincaid Park provide additional camping options along the same reservoir. Visiting outside summer weekends gives the best chance of securing a spot with space between neighbors.

Visitors consistently highlighted excellent privacy and peaceful conditions at this lakeside dispersed camping area. The remote location offers quiet nights with scenic water views, though low water levels may require a walk to reach the lake.

Awesome stop!

I can't believe this place isn't more popular! There are many spots to park and several are long and flat. There are pit toilets and dumpsters. There's lake scenery. I was the only one here. I could hear some traffic but it dies down at night. A tarantula walked right past me! The bugs weren't bothersome. It stormed the night I was here and I was glad to have a concrete pit toilet building for shelter.

Amazing lake views

Easy to locate. There were several (i.e., more than 5) obvious camp spots. Ideal for cars, trucks, vans, and others 20 feet or under. There was a gate to get in, but it looks like it is always open. There was no money collection box. I am the only one here. The water can be heard at the campsite, lapping the shore. You can hear traffic driving past, but that abated as the evening came. There are two portapoties out here, but I didn't check them out. I saw no trash cans. There was a stone firering at the site I picked. Cell service is great with att: 5G, 5 bars Ground, as you get closer to the lake, gets more sandy and less rocky. I didn't switch from 2wd to 4wd, no need. Great spot. Want to give 5 stars, but I could easily imagine people stacking up here as some spots are pretty close.

Overnight stay

This was our second time overnighting here. The first time we enjoyed watching a thunderstorm roll around us with a great lightning show. This time we had strong winds that calmed down in time to enjoy a beautiful sunset. It’s off-season so I don’t think the outhouses had been serviced all winter. Since it is dispersed camping we don’t expect much for facilities. Our site was fairly level and easy to pull into. Cell service is spotty. Great spot when traveling in the area.

Quiet Spot near the water

I got here after dark, so finding a decent spot was a little more intimidating, but I think i was the only person here, and it was a wonderful stop while traveling west on highway 40.

Beautiful and peaceful

We stayed here overnight on a cross country journey. This place is very beautiful and peaceful. There were no other people around on a Saturday night in January. It was 50 degrees. There is a Porto potti by the boat ramp but if you’re self sufficient drive down the dirt road until you find a spot you like.

Overnight stay

Perfect spot to spend our last night out before reaching Springtown and the granddaughters. We had a spot right by the water and watched a storm roll through off in the distance.

Quiet Place, Low Water

Stayed overnight here on the way through. Looks like at some point in time. This was a pretty busy place with houses and a marina on the opposite side of the lake. There is an established campground, a little farther away from where I stayed but no sign of anyone around and they burned down fifth wheel Was the only thing there. The water level is very low, so from where I camped, I had to walk down to the lake a little bit. It’s nothing but a place to stay at the end of the day, but it was great views and pretty quiet.
