    NOT PET FRIENDLY FOR GREAT DANES

    Everything says "Pet Friendly" , however when we tried to book a spot for a month they said I couldn't bring my Great Dane puppy bc of the breed and insurance. Do not recommend if you have a gentle giant, such my service Dane.

    The splendid landscapes aside, the weather in that place is truly delightful. It's worth experiencing; I had the chance last summer with friends. ATF Booru

    Nice and clean

    Nice easy place to stay the night. Bathrooms and showers are super clean. Not the most scenic of places but quiet and fairly easy to access - highway construction was underway in June 2024.

    Better send carrier pigeon....

    Tried calling several times(during business hours) and wrote several times, never got back to me. Finally just drove there(through the rain), calling again about 5 minutes away. They finally answered only to be told they were full. Asked about other days and they said they weren't sure but to call the morning of. I said you know, I've called and wrote and left several messages- would've been nice to get a call back, as now I'm basically here. She said sorry and laughed. Seriously?! No online booking at all and incompetent management- who would call the morning of to see if you drive X amount of miles to stay? And I'm the idiot that drove there after not hearing back, ugh.

    Great stop!

    Easily accessible about 5 miles off the interstate. We arrived late after 11pm, owner opened the gate and directed us to our site. Pad was level and hookups well placed. Took off early the next morning, free ice was a nice bonus!

    Also noticed this would have been cheaper to book through roadtrippers

    LBJ National Grasslands Forest Road 904 Dispersed Camping

    Very remote

    Remote dispersed. Great camping for north central Texas. The sites are a good distance between them. You can drive along the roads and look for them. We spotted 22 sites, there may be more. Download maps before getting here. Cell is not the best. No bathrooms, water, etc. Pack in/pack out. Downloadable hiking maps availability on other apps. Only saw 3 other cameras while we were here. Great hiking.
