Bois D' Arc Trailhead Campground

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.

Numerous Sites!

This is a review of scouting the area. Numerous sites to choose from, some pull thru, some back in. Water, tables, and fire pits at every site. Although the sites are close together there is plenty of space to spread out depending on how busy it is. Heavily shaded. Not sure how effective solar charging would be during summer months. We first scouted it on a Thursday, nobody was there. Pulled thru again a few days later and there were a number of hunters there. Plenty of space for big rigs. Pit toilets on sites, no trash. Would have stayed here, but opted for West Lake Crockett down the road due to stronger cell signal.
