We drove around most of the campground looking for a spot. This was on a Thursday. Mostly empty. I can see why. Very trashy. Looked like some people lived in their cars! Trail was tight and rough. Tore up one stabilizer jack that drug. Branch tore up AC unit and ripped off the top part of the ladder. We were in a 2020 Chevy Trail Boss with a 2” factory lift and a little 22’ travel trailer, never to go back!
This place is absolutely trashed. It's uncalled for. If I catch anybody doing this they're going to find your body underneath the trash. This is exactly why they end up shutting these types of places down. There's very few dispersed camping areas left. If you want to be a bad apple you're going to get thrown in the compost bin
Great campground when we went. We went on a Sunday and it wasn't to packed but there was some trash left by people right in the front part of the trails leafing to the deeper campsites. The trail isn't to bad, but deeper you get there are some more difficult spots that cars may not be able to get through but trucks and jeep type vehicles shouldn't ha e to hard of a time. Overall great experience!
My family has picked this spot over the years due to the Barker resivour down in Nederland. Absolutely beautiful and the peace you get while camping is amazing. In town is a friendly spot with the locals welcoming you. The only thing I personally don't care for is all the "target" practice that goes on up there. If you want a place to camp for free this is it. No bathroom or showers or water so be prepared. 10/10 recomend
The road running through is very poorly maintained. Be careful while driving. Lot of spaces available first come first serve basis. Place is well forested. Had a good time nice and quiet in the nature.
