The Best Free Camping in Texas

[@robert.b.hubbard]

Was just at Big Bend. Back country permit was $10 per night, not $10 for up to 14 days. Camping was allowed only in designated areas that required reservations.

[@Campendium]

Yep! $10/night and visitors can stay in the park up to 14 consecutive nights in either a front or backcountry site, with a limit of 28 total nights in the park in a calendar year. Campers can occupy a specific site up to 14 total nights in a year. During the busy season of January 1-April 15, visitors are limited to a total of 14 nights in the park. Happy camping! - Liz

[@suzettecalleja3122]

@@Campendium that's confusing. Is it 28 days or 14. Which is it. You said total 14 days then 28 days

[@LaCatLady]

@@suzettecalleja3122 14 nights during one stay. You can do this twice in one year for a total of 28 nights for that calendar year.

[@Campendium]

@@suzettecalleja3122 14 days on a single site. 28 days total in the park.

I absolutely love Texas. I usually winter in SC but I'm staying here this winter. So much to see and do and the people in the small towns are great. GOD Bless Texas.

I stopped by north Padre island a few months ago. It is truly beautiful ❤️ there

[@virginia_in_the_rearview]

I can't wait to explore some of these. Thanks for sharing!

[@Campendium]

We look forward to hearing about your explorations in reviews of places you stay over on www.campendium.com 😊✍️ - Liz

The Amarillo travel visitor center is the best place to sleep 😴 when your at the half way point to Colorado! Restrooms are so clean, & close to the highway but not too much noise.

[@djtexicano]

Yes! I've lived in Amarillo for over 20 years and just found out we had that travel center...lol I was looking for a dump station for our travel trailer. It's a nice place!

campin in texas is not better than California 😃

Watching this from Big Woods. That kinda cracked me up but yes, it's a lovely spot.

[@VANESSASCHICFRUGALLIFE]

Thanks for all these tips wise I would have found this information sooner

[@sjnunez3]

If you are driving up to Colorado and need a spot just before you hit New Mexico, try Thompson Grove in Rita Blanca Grasslands.

My You Tube surfing Eye caught this Texas Vid for Great Info👍👍⬆️🇺🇸

[@summerstardust2064]

Texas easy to drive across because of the many free roadside campsites on the backroads.

[@raydonica6723]

Good to know.

[@bussin321]

Are there any senior"s discounts in TX?

[@mikecon7634]

Tks

[@GibbonActivist]

Wish we never allowed people to buy land remotely near any sort of shore, all I want to do is kayak or paddle through rivers like Guadalupe and just camp on the shore but hey impossible now I guess.

[@precisiont5188]

Why didn't you mention how many days people can camp on Padre Island? Or did you?

[@Campendium]

The national park and county park camping areas have a 14 day stay limit 😊. Happy camping - Liz

[@Indomitablespirit108]

Best free camping is in Houma, LA

[@marlinpruett8343]

I have a 40 ft motorhome and it is set up to go 2 weeks with no hook-up, every thing is 12 volt with 1800 watts of solar so we do not like rv parks Big Bend is just a wast of space they need more places to just park for the night boondock what little spots they do have is all full JUST A BIG WASTE OF OUR PARK and $10 a night is not bad

[@loadedupandtruckin2832]

There isn't much free camping in texas sadly.

[@Campendium]

You can search what is available, here: www.campendium.com/texas/free-camping 😊 - Liz

[@paulg492]

Loaded Up and Truckin is right. There is only a measley 5% of public lands in Texas. I had to do some long driving days to connect free camping as I traveled through the Lone Star State.

[@marlinpruett8343]

Yp You are right all the land is private owned When Texas set up by Sam Houston He said all land would go to the people not to the Government

[@aztronomy7457]

Sad that Texas has so little public land. I think I’ll stay in Arizona.

[@mikerilling2745]

😂 As a seventh generation Texan, 😂 and after conferring with 25 million fellow Texans, 😂 we wholeheartedly agree to the terms of your decision😂

[@aztronomy7457]

@@mikerilling2745 Arizona has better looking women, less fat people, more public land, legal weed, more lenient gun laws, we aren’t owned by one energy grid that dies every summer and winter, mountains, dry weather, more diverse landscape, and less crazy people.

I believe the Davy Crockett quote is “you may all go to hell, and I will go to Texas.” Just a joke :)

[@RoySATX]

Us Texans are known for our friendly and easygoing nature, and our willingness to help out. We love having people visit! Set foot in Texas with a nasty attitude, however, or be disrespectful of our people or our land and we'll be mighty happy to give you a hand back out the same way you came. We still have manners, Mr. Jackman, and we use them out of respect when visiting someone else's house. If this is beyond your ability you might do us all a favor and stay home.

[@RoySATX]

@@Ruthy101 No, Davy Crockett was known to be a little cantankerous and he meant those words to be taken quite literally.
