A mile-long dirt road leads to this dispersed camping area overlooking Wright Patman Lake. The Army Corps of Engineers maintains the access route and mowing schedule, creating space for campers to set up on grassy areas above the water. A boat ramp provides direct lake access for fishing and paddling.
Campers report reliable cell service and find picnic tables scattered throughout the area. The soft grass accommodates tent camping well, though muddy spots can develop after rain. The site stays relatively quiet due to its remote location within the recreation area, making it a solid base for exploring camping areas around Wright Patman Recreation Area.
