Best Dispersed Camping near Sulphur Springs, TX

12 Reviews

Three free dispersed camping areas exist within 30 miles of Sulphur Springs, Texas. Lake Quitman West Dam offers primitive boondocking with no designated sites or facilities. Campers can park where they fit and stay for up to 7 days in this county-maintained area. The grounds consist of somewhat wooded open fields near the lake. No hookups, drinking water, or toilets are available, requiring campers to be fully self-contained.

Public Ramp 1 on Lake Bob Sandlin provides free lakefront dispersed camping with a 7-day limit. Located about 5 miles from Mount Pleasant, this area features paved access roads, restrooms, and trash service. Park police check in campers upon arrival, and registration requires a vehicle. According to reviews, "the local police will stop by to check you in" and campers must be 21 or older. Lake Winnsboro Park rounds out the options with primitive tent camping, clean portable toilets, and picnic tables. A visitor noted it as "free, quiet & clean" with well-maintained facilities.

    A campsite next to a Lake...Free!

    What a beautiful place!  There are dispersed sites throughout the recreation area with clearly marked areas where no camping is allowed.  There are restrooms and water available, as well as dumpsters.  We had great Verizon service!  The local police will stop by to check you in and there is a 14 day stay limit.   When camping here please remember to properly take care of your trash and take a few minute to pick up any trash that maybe in your camping area, to help keep this available for all campers and rec area users.

    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.

    Boondock Free for 10 Days

    I found this location because I needed a free spot for a few days for a medical appointment. It is within about 5 miles of Mount Pleasant, TX. Not far from Walmart, Home Depot, and other shopping and restaurants. It's primitive boondocking, but pretty nice and clean. Psrk next to the Water. Boating, fishing, BBQ, and group camping is allowed. Pet friendly on leash.

    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!

    Fabulous & Free

    Thus is truly a great, free place to camp. It is a several minute drive from Mount Pleasant & you'll think you're going out to the boonies, but keep going! The roads are paved and there are a couple areas to camp with several spots each. When we stayed (in January) we had the place to ourselves. There are 2 nice rest room facilities- one with a pop machine. After a while, the on-site police will come by to check you in (name, driver's license, etc) but ours was very friendly. Must be 21 to stay, and not just in your car. The sign says tents, RVs, campers, and other vehicles modified for camping are welcome for 7 days.
