Best Dispersed Camping near Keller, TX

Dispersed camping options near Keller, Texas include several free primitive sites within the LBJ National Grasslands. The Forest Road 904 area features widely spaced campsites with established fire rings and scenic vistas. Most sites accommodate tent camping and smaller vehicles, though several pull-through spots exist for RVs. According to reviews, the sites are "a good distance between them" with approximately 22 documented locations throughout the area. The Dead Pump Jack site offers additional dispersed camping but has terrain limitations.

These primitive camping areas require self-sufficiency. No potable water, toilets, or hookups are available at the dispersed sites. Several campers note that while some water sources exist at nearby Tadra and Black Creek areas, this water is non-potable and requires filtration. Cell service varies throughout the grasslands, with most areas maintaining adequate coverage. The roads to Forest Road 904 are generally well-maintained gravel, though some sections narrow considerably. Visitors report cattle frequently graze near campsites, and wildlife sightings include deer, armadillos, and hogs.

Hunter Park in Granbury provides an alternative free camping experience with more amenities. This lakeside park includes picnic tables, trash collection, and seasonal restroom facilities. The park operates on a first-come, first-served basis without designated sites. During winter months, portable toilets replace standard facilities. The fishing is reportedly excellent, with active fish populations and pier access. The park layout follows a convenient loop design with paved access roads suitable for larger vehicles. Limited shade exists for tent campers, particularly during summer months. The proximity to town services makes this location practical for campers needing occasional access to supplies.
