Stubblefield Lake Recreation Area

I stopped here when hiking the Lone Star Trail.

The camp sites at Stubblefield were rather nice. Each had a table, fire ring, hook for hanging things, and water taps were found every few sites or so.

There are two bathrooms that were well taken care of and the park hosts were very friendly and well informed.

Camping there cost $15 per site per day and you cannot reserve ahead.

There is a lake, but when I was there it was rather brown.

There is also a pavilion for group activities

A good rest stop

Wonderful camp grounds nestled in Sam Houston National Forest. Old school drop box style. First come, first serve. Make sure you have cash. Water access throughout the sites, each camp site has table, fire ring with a cooking grate and tent pad. Clean bathrooms with jot showers on timers. Access to an inlet of Lake Conroe. Hiking trails. Not much breeze due to the thick forest, so perfect for fall and spring camping. 

Peaceful and remote

Just made our third trip kayaking there, day and night. Great place for the family. 

Great for kayaking 

My friend and I camped here last fall, a last minute switch since we got rained out of other plans. We still got some rain in San Houston park, but it was tolerable. The sad hit was the firewood all around the area got damp, so we had fire trouble. Also, the park headquarters does not sell firewood or ice, so we had to hunt around for a gas station that did. The main trail is the Lone Star, which is neat, but you have to yoyo hike if you aren’t backpacking. The bridge to more views near our campground was out—looked like it was under construction. Might be done now! You’ve got to remember to bring cash to use around town and to put in the slot for camp payment. They don’t like credit cards around here. 

The landscape of this area is not varied or incredibly interesting, but the tall mossy trees added some swampy grandeur, and we saw quite a lot of wildlife including a large hawk (at the campground) and a coral snake on our hike! 

Mossy views and lots of wildlife!

Stubble field has always been a nice fall/early spring campground for my family of 3. The heavy thicket forest inhibits breeze so the area can become very muggy and humid in the summer as could be expected. The campground is very well developed with identifiable tent pads, but usually quiet and not too busy. There is a self pay drop box at the entrance so, be sure to bring cash or checks. There is no camp store or office to purchase firewood so you want to pack it in with you. Be sure to check burn ban for Walker County before visiting. It was a little cool on Nov. 15th when we stayed and couldn't build a campfire. I usually cook over the fire  but, luckily I brought the camp stove this trip as well. The water spigot at the sites were not working and honestly they have never really worked on my visits here but, I carry water as well so no biggie. There are two bathroom facilities on site and they are usable. Overall great little getaway spot. Just come prepared and oh yeah, bring bug spray. 

Into the woods

Super roomy sites in the woods, quiet (no RVs, yay!), and easy access to the lake. Stayed two nights on a cross country drive. Did some kayak fishing and a 25 mile bike ride on the state forest / country roads - many trucks but generally courteous drivers who gave me the lane. Trees for hammocks at basically every site!

  

LOTS of birds (pine warblers, yellow-bellied sapsuckers especially) if you're into that.

Big sites, no RVs, quite neighbors!

Old campground, nicely maintained. Wooded; big pines. Two restroom/showerhouses; old, but clean. Camped for 2 nights in a camper van at site #24. It was a very large site surrounded on 3 sides by a thick forest of trees &amp; shrubs. Private. Water faucet on site. No electric. The Lone Star Hiking Trail conveniently located in the campground. Nice hike through a thick forest. Canpground road &amp; campsite driveways are paved. Sites have tent pads &amp; appear pretty much level. Sites have a table, fire ring &amp; lantern poll. The road toward the campground is paved, but broken up in places with several potholes. AT&amp;T service is okay, but no T-Mobile service. This campground is great for tent campers, campervans, car campers &amp; truck campers. I don't recommend this campground for large RVs. 

Really nice, wooded campsites

Stayed for six days.

The people running the campground act like they are having fun.  I very much enjoyed the stay. I was the only camper there on Monday but by the weekend it was packed; families with young children fishing.
