Lake Bob Sandlin State Park - Primitive Camping Area in TX
TX State Parks allows overnight stays only at the designated sites here.
Backcountry hike-in camping in heavily wooded, flat terrain near Two-Acre Pond. Sixteen 100-square-foot primitive sites require hiking 1/4–1 mile from the parking area. Ground fires are prohibited; each site has access to a chemical toilet and water spigot. The area sits within Lake Bob Sandlin State Park, where two northeast Texas ecoregions meet on a 9,000-acre lake. The park features 3.3 miles of wooded trails through massive trees and tall grasses, excellent largemouth bass and catfish fishing from a lighted pier and boat ramp, and views of the lake created by the 1977 Fort Sherman Dam.
