~LBJ Grasslands

There are over 20000 acres of land to explore, a few small lakes, and a good amount of dispersed campsites to camp at. There are also 75 miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding if that’s your thing.

Campsite Location

~ The camp spot is on Forest Service Rd 908 which was found on the OnX app. The exact spot that I was at is huge, I’m thinking its a popular spot for horse trailers that camp and ride for the weekend. Across the trail is a spot right next to a little pond. Would be an amazing cozy camping spot in the cooler months.

Campsite coordinates: 33.40883, -97.63893

Campsite accessibility

~ The trail to the campsite was is accessible by absolutely any vehicle. The LBJ grasslands is a chill camping/recreational area.

Trails and Route

~ All of the trails are easy gravel county and forest service roads that can be accessed by any vehicle.

~ My route started off of FM 730 and then taking a sharp left hand turn onto county road(CR) 2461. After a short drive on 2461 I took a right onto forest service(FS) road 904 which is where you’ll see the welcome sign with some info and maps on it.

Driving a little down 904 I took a right on FS 900 and pulled over to take some drone shots. Those shots made the intro and was a good spot to exercise my drone flying skills. I went a little further down 900 and pulled over on the left hand side and made some hot dogs and had a little reflection on memorial day. Did you serve in the military or know someone who did/has, let me know in the comments of the video.

Going further down 900 I drove by cottonwood lake which is in the very beginning of the video. There are some sweet spots to stop and fish, I even saw a bass boat launch there and fish a little. FS 900 ends at county road 2560 where I took a left turn. Once on CR 2560 I took that a good ways passing by many private lands and houses. Weaving down 2560 I came across CR 2675 and took a left there. Once on 2675 a quick left onto audobon rd followed by a left onto Gossett-Foster rd and then finally a right onto FS 908 which is where the campsite is located. A map for the route is below.

Points of interest

~ Cottonwood lake which I mentioned earlier is a great place to stop and fish or just relax. This lake is ideal for kayaking or a small jon boat, but some even take full on bass boats on it.

~ TADRA is the starting point of all the multi-use trails at LBJ, totaling 75 miles of trail for horses, biking, and hiking. This is a good spot to get outside for the day or enjoy there area before setting up camp.

Gear notes

~ECOFLOW Delta 2 powerstation with extra battery - this powerstation set up has been working great for me. whether cooking steaks or charging my phone it gets the job done. The only challenge I am facing with it is keeping it charged since I use it so much, but luckily there are some good car charging methods that i’m looking into. https://amzn.to/3LKEr3M
