Big Tex Campgrounds is a 30 acre campground located 10 minutes from Canton and 20 minutes from Tyler in the quirky and eclectic town of Ben Wheeler- **UPDATE** WE JUST OPENED 18 NEW SITES where we have live music every weekend. We opened up our campground in September of 2023 and are now opening up for Daily/Weekly Reservations.

In the near future, we will have primitive tent sites, Teepees and a 5 acre swimming pond with a beach. We'd love to have you witness our growth and be apart of the Journey!
