    Lake Quitman West Dam

    FREE 7 DAY Camping beautiful scenery

    I stayed down on the lakefront for 7 days. Only 2 campers besides me. Room for many many more. Fish jumping! Quiet at night. I was here in March 2022. No bathrooms, so be totally self contained!

    Lake Quitman West Dam

    Great place to Boondock! FREE!!!

    Wonderful place to do some Boondocking and for FREE! You can park where you can fit and stay as long as you wish. It is run by the county and well taken care of... just do your part to keep it that way. 

    We had no issue parking of rig for a few days and we, along with a couple others, were the only ones there. 

    Make sure to get water and food before setting up, not much close by, so whatever direction you are coming from, get supplies for your duration.

    Have a great time, we did!

    Lake Quitman West Dam

    Primitive

    There is no fee to camp in this area. No reservations are necessary.

    Camp sites are not marked, the county park is basically an open field that is somewhat wooded and permits camping. You can show up and set up camp anywhere you would like. There are flushing toilets, picnic tables, and boat loading areas on both sides of the dam. The grounds do not have actual fire pits, generally people build them as desired. There is phone service but no electric or water hookups. The area is easy to access but there are not any signs that indicate you have arrived where you can camp, mostly locals come out during the summer months. Pets are welcome.
