South Prong Primitive Campground

90%

25 sites · Tent

1.25 miles west of the South Prong Tented grounds, the primitive camping is for the true rough and tough adventurers out there. Located on the park’s western boundary, you’ll have to traverse cliffs and bluffs to earn the reward of this good night’s rest, with none of the usual bells and whistles of more developed sites - save the outhouse facility. Considering you’ll have to hike in and out, be sure to bring lots of H2O!

Camp during the week to avoid crowds.

Starting from the trailhead at the South Prong Camping Area, this is a flat, easy backpacking trip of just over a mile. The campsites are not private, with a communal, circular pad in the center and sites situated around the perimeter. Kind of a bummer, but there's a good chance there will be no one else there since this park isn't as heavily used as those in central TX. There's no shade, but there is a primitive toilet.
