Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Dispersed / hunters camp around Sexton Pond, along Forest Service Rd 326, 2 miles from Boykin Springs RA. Approximately 1 mile prior to the entrance to Boykin Springs RA take FS RD 326 (left) 1 mile to Sexton Pond on the left. Dispersed camping in several locations around the pond. There is a jeep road around the pond. Some rutted areas, but accessible by van. Boykin Spring RA has free day use (restrooms and showers). Ruins of the Old Aldridge Sawmill are 2.4 miles further down FS RD 326, park at trailhead, hike 0.3 mile. Pack it in, pack it out. :)
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
The surrounding area has been burned, presumably for fuel reduction. A small area around the lake is unburned but the majority is covered in ash and it’s quite smoky. Looks like a great spot under normal circumstances though!
Report Check-InStayed here last night and will be staying again. The road in to this area is well maintained and hard packed. Even with all of the rain recently I have been able to pull up and park near the first campfire remains with no issue. Updating here to let you know that there is a $5 day use fee for the nearby campground and $10 fee for overnight camping. I may stay over there tomorrow night with the heavier rain coming in. I strategically placed myself here to avoid flood zones and the ice storm warning for northern and central Texas. Nobody has driven by in the 24 hours that I've been here. Plenty of room for the dog to run. Also enough cell service to get some work done and upload photos to Instagram/Facebook, make phone calls, emails. Highly recommend. Private and feels safe.
