About this campground

Elm Point Camping Area

Elm Point Camping Area, located on the eastern shore of Lake Somerville in Texas, offers basic, first-come, first-served, dispersed-style camping with no designated campsites. There are no reservations, permits, or fees required. Amenities are minimal—no toilets, water, picnic tables, or hookups—though fire rings may be present. RVs can access the area, but it's primitive with no developed facilities. Campers enjoy a quiet, lakeside setting with open space and scenic views, ideal for fishing, kayaking, and sunset watching. The area connects to nearby trails in Lake Somerville State Park. Best visited in spring or fall for mild weather and fewer bugs.
