Kelly’s Pond Campground
This is officially a "tent only" campground, where campers must utilize the adjacent parking area and walk into the camping units. However, many vehicle-campers use the adjacent parking area, which provides a wide area, to set up camp. The area is primitive with no potable water or electricity. The official campground has eight (8) campsites with picnic tables, fire rings and lantern posts.
Shell Oil Road Hunters Camp
One of the more popular hunters camps in Sam Houston National Forest, this campground comes with a porta-potty and a trash can, although ironically, it has more trash on the ground than those that do not come with trash cans. It's also one of the smaller hunters camps in the forest.
Forest Road 217A Hunters Camp
This hunters camp is open for anyone to camp in, even though it was originally intentioned for game hunters. It has no amenities, not even trash cans. It's also a popular place for local horseback riders, so expect to see horse droppings on the ground. During hunting season, this campground gets packed.
Bouton Lake Campground
This small campground offers seven (7) primitive campsites with picnic tables, fire rings, and lantern post at each site. There is also a vault toilet. While this campground is located on US Forest Service land, the west half of Bouton Lake is on private property, and the property owner will let you know when they are displeased.
Haley’s Ferry Boat Ramp
This is a small boat ramp and recreation area along Forest Road 100, on the north side of Bayou Siepe. It's administered co-jointly with Sabine National Forest and Sabine River Authority of Texas, however rules for the national forest apply here. Aside from the boat ramp, there is a vault toilet, but nothing else.
Neches Bluff Overlook, Weches, TX
This small campground and viewing area is offered for free by the U.S. Forest Service. All it appears to offer is a vault toilet and a viewing deck overlooking the Neches River bottomlands. There is not even a trash can, a sign posted requires you to pack all your trash out.
