Summary

Campsites include picnic tables, fire rings with grills, and access to vault toilets; however, there is no drinking water or hookups, so come prepared. RVs are allowed but must be self-contained. No reservations are required—sites are first-come, first-served, and free of charge. The area is ideal for quiet camping, fishing, birdwatching, and hiking nearby trails like the 2.2-mile Coffee Mill Lake Trail. The best time to visit is spring or fall for mild temperatures and vibrant scenery in the Caddo National Grasslands.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
