Neches Bluff Overlook i USA

We camped here for one night. The nearby trailhead was closed due to tornado damage from 4/2019, but the only noise was birdsong. There are a handful of areas suitable for RVs, and ours was out of line of sight of any other of the sparsely occupied sites. The site we selected had some trash, but nothing that wasn't remedied with a trashbag and 5 minutes of work. No leveling was necessary. The dirt access road had a few moderately sized potholes, but otherwise it's easy to get to. There are no services outside of the vault toilet - we used the dump station at Mission Tejas State Park just 10 minutes down the highway.

An easy drive to site. Some wash-boarding but no big deal. This is essentially just an area with mown grass. Parking is where ever you can fit which should be easy even with large RV's. The only road coming in follows the ridge and it loops so there is no problem getting out. If it has rained, the road may be muddy but still firm. A few firepits already in place with stumps for seating around it. There are no services here at all. No toilet or even trash service so whatever you bring in, you'll have to take out. It looks like people take that seriously because it's really clean. AT&T is good here with 72% signal strength or Three bars. Had no problem streaming. Verizon is weak with one bar. Nearby (I was told) is Ratcliff Lake park with awesome brand new showers for those that paid the recreation fees. This site is free but it may be worth a night at Ratcliff just for the shower.

Free. Clean with easy access. FS Road from Hwy 21 is not marked, Only one other camper; however, 1/2 dozen day visitors. Grassy sites were grown up, but very doable for parking w/ a few small fire pits. Apparently the FS isn't mowing this location as grown up in various places, but not bad. Pit toilet is open and maintained regularly w/ cleaning log on door. Overlook view was nice for East Tx. Slight distant road noise from rural Hwy 21. One bar with ATT LTE. A stray cat visited site around dinner and lunch. Did have someone stop on the opposite side of the loop from my camp, late afternoon, and did some shooting with a .22. Not the best place for that w/ all the NF land around. 4C trailhead is ribboned off from past wind damage (although it is being traveled). Overall pleasant stay, would stay again. Might pass during deer season.

Free camping with 1 toilet. No trash service. At least 2 groups of campsites. There was a truck and tent on the first site closest to the toilet so I camped on the next campsite that can have at least 3 campers, one long one and 2 short ones. The grass was not mowed. It was a breezy campsite so it was a bit comfortable this summer.

We are enroute to Louisiana and are staying off the beaten path. We arrived after state park closed so opted to stay here. So happy no one else had gotten here first as the sun set. Love the Piney Woods!
