Likely one of the most beautiful and serence places to camp in all of Texas. Always clean and the volunteer ranger is just a joy to interact with, he's been there almost 20 years.

Beautiful setting. I was surprised by how run down the campground was— in need of very general maintenance.

The only thing I did not like was there was no way to lock the men’s restroom

We enjoyed our stay in this remote wilderness area. Did not like not being able to have a campfire or use our hammocks.

Such a beautiful location and so clean. Ranger Will (a volunteer) was helpful and very friendly. Be sure to stop at Sitting Bull Falls - beautiful oasis that was definitely worth the drive.
