Best Dispersed Camping near Caddo National Grassland
The grasslands and oak forests of Caddo National Grassland give Texas campers good options for dispersed camping without established facilities. Caddo's primitive sites let you camp away from crowds, but you'll need to bring everything you need since no amenities exist here. Following Leave No Trace practices is essential when staying in these natural areas. You must set up camp at least 200 feet from any roads or water sources according to local rules. Most dispersed sites in Caddo National Grassland require high-clearance vehicles to access, especially after rain when dirt roads can get muddy. Check with rangers about current fire rules before your trip, as bans are common during dry periods. Bring all your water, food and supplies from nearby towns like Bonham (about 25 miles away) or Honey Grove. When you leave, take all trash with you - there are no garbage services in the grassland's backcountry. Rangers limit stays to 14 days to prevent overuse of these wild camping areas.
