TEXAS PUBLIC 

CAMPGROUNDS 

A guide to federal, state and local 

government administered facilities

YEAR-ROUND, 

THE CAMPING’S GREAT IN TEXAS! 

NOTE: Some campgrounds may be temporarily closed or have restricted 

hours of operation because of budgetary constraints, drought or storm damage. 

Please contact the campground or its central reservations organization 

to verify the campground’s availability. 

This Directory lists only facilities administered by federal, state and 

local government authorities in Texas. Commercial campground information 

is available from the Texas Association of Campground Owners, 

910 S. Crowley Road, Suite 9-504, Crowley, TX 76036, 800/657-6555, 

www.texascampgrounds.com. 

The campgrounds are listed alphabetically by a nearby town, so you can 

easily find the information on campgrounds and read about them as you travel 

through the vastly different areas that make up Texas. Campgrounds with 

dump stations are listed in ALL CAPS. Map coordinates to the right of the city 

refer to its location on the Texas Official Travel Map. 

Fees are not shown in this publication because they can change so frequently. 

Be prepared to pay an entry fee at each park. In addition, fees will 

often be charged for camping and use of pavilions, group shelters, cabins, etc.

State/Federal Campground Information 

STATE CAMPGROUNDS 

Texas state parks offer a range of amenities, from full hookups to wilderness 

camping. The improved camping areas have rest rooms with flush toilets 

and hot showers. Some primitive camping areas have self-composting toilets 

but no showers. Wilderness areas offer trails and maps but no utilities—those 

operate on the “pack-it-in, pack-it-out” principle. Improved campsites have 

utilities, a tent pad or trailer parking pad, a picnic table and fire ring. Many 

also include a grill standing waist-high as well as a pole with a lantern hook. 

For camping reservations or cancellations, call 512/389-8900 9 a.m.– 

8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m.–noon. Saturday or leave a voice mail 

24 hours a day. For reservations at Indian Lodge in Davis Mountains State Park, 

call 512/389-8982. To make reservations online, visit www.tpwd.state.tx.us/ 

business/park_reservations. 

Texas State Parks Pass offers many special benefits, including unlimited 

visits for the pass holder and entire carload of guests to more than 90 

state parks and historic sites, as well as camping discounts and more. Passes 

are available at park offices or by calling the State Parks Customer Service 

Center at 512/389-8900. 

Texas State Parklands Passport offers free entrance to everyone who 

reached age 65 before Sept. 1, 1995, and to veterans with a 60 percent or greater 

disability. For those who turned age 65 after Sept. 1, 1995, Texas residents pay 

discounted entry fees while nonresidents pay the regular prices. For a Texas 

Parklands Passport, apply in person, with proof of eligibility, at any Texas State 

Park site. 

Texas State Parks are not part of the National Park Service. They do not 

accept passes/passports from the national parks. 

For more information about state parks, visit the Texas Parks and Wildlife 

Department website, www.tpwd.state.tx.us; call 800/792-1112; or send mail to 

Texas Parks and Wildlife, 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, TX 78744. 

FEDERAL/NATIONAL CAMPGROUNDS 

The America the Beautiful passes replaced the Golden Age/Golden Access 

passport. The America the Beautiful program provides entrance or access 

at federally operated recreation sites across the country to the pass holder plus 

three adults in a single, private vehicle. A Senior Pass is available to U.S. 

Citizens or permanent residents who are age 62 or older. An Access Pass 

may be available to citizens or permanent U.S. residents with a medically-determined 

permanent disability. The senior and access passes may provide the 

pass owner a discount on some expanded amenity fees such as camping. The 

pass is issued by and covers entrance fees at sites managed by the U.S. Forest 

Service, National Parks Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of 

Land Management and Bureau of Reclamation. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

does not sell or issue the passes but may honor them, including the previously 

issued Golden Age or Access passports. Visit corpslakes.usace.army. 

mil/visitors/passes.cfm or www.swf.usace.army.mil/pubdata/notices/America 

theBeautiful/default.asp for more information. Pass holders are encouraged 

to contact the site they plan to visit and inquire about pass acceptance and 

discounts before visiting. For more information, call 888/ASK-USGS or visit 

store.usgs.gov/pass/index.html. 

Reservations: Visitors to most federal campgrounds managed by 

the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, 

Bureau of Land Management and Bureau of Reclamation may make reservations 

through the National Recreation Reservation Service for selected 

facilities and activities across the nation. For camping and tour reservations 

by phone, call 877/444-6777 or (international) 518/885-3639. For customer service, 

call 888/448-1474. To place reservations online, visit www.recreation.gov.
