    Welcome to LBJ National Grasslands Forest Road 904 Dispersed Camping, a hidden gem in north-central Texas. This spot is perfect if you're looking to get away from it all and enjoy some peace and quiet. The area is remote, so make sure you pack everything you need, including water and a good map, as cell service can be spotty.

    The camping spots here are well-spaced, giving you plenty of privacy. You might even find yourself with a beautiful view overlooking the valley. There are no amenities like bathrooms or showers, so be prepared to dig a hole and bring your own toilet paper. Fires are allowed, and you'll find some makeshift fire rings at many of the sites.

    One of the unique aspects of this area is the wildlife. You might see deer, armadillos, hogs, and a variety of birds. Cattle also roam the property, adding to the rustic charm. If you're into hiking, there are some great trails nearby, but make sure to download maps before you arrive.

    For those who enjoy a bit of solitude, this place is a dream. It's quiet, with only the sounds of nature to keep you company. Some campers have mentioned that it's not too far from town if you need to restock supplies, and there's even a water dispensary in Decatur.

    Overall, LBJ National Grasslands Forest Road 904 offers a true dispersed camping experience. It's free, pet-friendly, and perfect for those who want to disconnect and enjoy the great outdoors. Just remember to pack in and pack out, leaving no trace behind.
