Best Dispersed Camping near Commerce, TX

5 Reviews

Lake Quitman West Dam offers free dispersed camping on county land approximately 40 miles from Commerce, Texas. The area features open, somewhat wooded terrain where campers can set up anywhere space permits. No designated sites exist, allowing visitors to choose their own spot in this primitive setting. The campground accommodates both tent and RV camping with drive-in and boat-in access available.

The site provides limited amenities with no hookups, drinking water, or designated fire pits. Visitors must be self-contained as there are no showers or sanitary facilities. Pack out all trash and bring necessary supplies before arrival. As one camper noted, "Make sure to get water and food before setting up, not much close by." Nearby Lake Winnsboro Park offers similar dispersed camping with the addition of toilets and is rated highly for its quiet atmosphere. Both locations permit pets and alcohol, with camping available year-round at Lake Quitman.

    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.

    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!
