This US Forest Service campground provides free camping with water, tables, and fire pits at every site within Caddo National Grassland. Sites accommodate big rigs with both pull-through and back-in options, though they sit close together under heavy shade that may limit solar charging effectiveness. Pit toilets serve the area, but campers must pack out trash.
The campground sits near a lake and sees variable occupancy, from completely empty on weekdays to busy with hunters during season. Cell service remains weak compared to nearby West Lake Crockett. Note that pets are not permitted at this location.
