Best Dispersed Camping near Pampa, TX

FCFS 

FREE 

No drinking water. There is a pit toilet, trash, and plenty of cactus. This is a very open area that is more like a pasture than dispersed camping. It is a great spot if you want to get away from it all. The road in will turn from pavement to dirt. I would be careful during the rainy season. No shade trees which means it is great for solar. There was only one rock fire ring. You might want to have a bit of clearance on your vehicle.

Better than when you found it.

This place was fantastic boondocking. I recommend arriving before sunset so as to be able to see but we were able to find a spot in the dark after about 45 mins of driving around.

Great camp spot, easy to get to and easy to find.

Far enough out from the city. Free! Fire pit and pic nic tables. The bathroom seemed pretty nice. Can’t beat it. Very dark out here though! Would definitely visit again. Definitely wouldn’t recommend driving big RV’s past the campsite. Steep unpaved grades. I didn’t travel too far down though.

This is the perfect place for quiet, secluded tent camping. The sites were spread apart a nice distance, each with a picnic table. Pit toilets centrally located. Grills And fire rings at some (but perhaps not all) of the sites.  The best part of this campground is the quiet. We were the only ones at the campground the weekend of our visit - we literally had the campground to ourselves. Just a short drive/hike further up the canyon on the dirt road for some beautiful views.

This is a pretty good campground especially since it is Free.  You have a stay limt of 14 days and who doesn't need to kick back and just enjoy the simple pleasures of doing nothing.  There is no water but you will have picnic tables with shelters for the tables, fire ring, trash and a pit toilet.  You have a lot of shade around the perimenter of the campground which makes it nice.  There is no electric but who needs it.  You should have plenty of time to hike the grasslands, find a great fishing spot around the lake.  We are looking forward to a return trip to spend more time around the lake.  Hunting is another reason to check this place out.

Horse corral with hitching post, pit toilet, trash, some covered picnic tables, and fire ring. This is a very open site and would be great for a trail ride. There are a lot of trees for shade but It can get hot in the summer. The road into the campground does deteriorate the further in you go. It is also VERY dusty This area is located south of the lake off of State Highway 136. You will find large cottonwood trees that provide shade. The Mullinaw Creek area features the expanded Mullinaw Trails System. 

This trail system is open to hiking, biking, and horseback riding. 

NO OFF ROAD VEHICLES ALLOWED.

After a very long drive on a bumpy dirt road after midnight, i arrived at a closed gate that looked half broken down. I ended up camping back down the road a bit in a pull off, and hoping that i didn't wake up to a gun in my face. So windy i could barely sleep

Upon arrival, it is very far out of the way of any towns or amenities. So make sure you bring everything you need for your stay. This is not a one night stop if you’re just driving through.

The road is fairly nice and paved the whole way out until you reach the camp. No big ruts or pot holes. It turns into sand and loose gravel after entering the campground.

There are quite a few rules and regulations to stay here, so it says on the board when entering the camp.

We stayed during hunting season so the length of stay is up to 30 days. Any other time of the year it’s 14 days.

I checked the local website and there is a fire ban in effect but it could change in the future. So be sure to check if you plan on having a fire.

Reception sucks. We got one bar where we stayed but towards where people are living out here, it’s a little better.

There are a couple of holes dug in the ground with a toilet sitting on top. I used it and noticed it was to the top by the rim of the seat full of human waste. Awesome!

There are a lot of sand burrs that stuck to literally everything when you walk anywhere outside.

The time of the year we stayed the whole country was experiencing an Arctic blast from the north, so it was quite chilly. That’s not norma here, but it is what it is.

We didn’t make it down to the Lake so i have no pictures of that.

Wildlife and traffic are heavy due to it being hunting season. But the traffic wasn’t a bother. Usually early in the morning and late at night.

Seen a park ranger a few times drive by, that’s the extent of that.

All n all, very peaceful! We would stay again.

Strange person going around following ya u hear stuff at night strange stuff and health warnings for air quilty just stay away

This is a beautiful park—lovely, with rugged rocky hills. However I’ve never seen mosquitos this bad before. Ever! Might be good during mon-mosquito periods, but otherwise the bloodsuckers will haunt your dream
