Summary
Camping is allowed along the shoreline (except near the dam) and is first-come, first-served—no permits, reservations, or fees required. There are no amenities: no toilets, water, fire rings, or picnic tables. RVs can access some areas but there are no hookups. The experience is rustic and peaceful, ideal for anglers and solitude seekers. The reservoir is surrounded by open land and lightly wooded areas with scenic lake views. Spring and fall offer the best weather. Nearby, explore College Station’s attractions or local trails at Lake Bryan.

Camping Essential Practices
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.
