Where is a good place to camp there?
Everywhere north of Beavers Bend State park. I assume you have some mapping or nav software? If so look north of Broken Bow (the city itself) and follow 259. Both sides of 259 have various FS and county roads running off into the woods. Check your mapping software and stay in the areas labeled as National Forrest. As you drive around you will find areas full of places where people have already setup dispersed spots in the past.

We were up there last weekend cleaning trails since my car hauler is down waiting for axle parts and cant get the buggy anywhere. He may want to wait till fall to camp there unless he likes heat and humidity or has a camper with A/C i had my jeans soaked with sweat 5 min outta the trucks a/c. I would suggest he go on a daytrip to drive around up there and get familliar with the area while it hot.

I was up there too but a little further north with a couple of buddies. Ticks are also a problem right now lol. I pulled 4 off of myself in a few days even with copious use of OFF. :P

Sounds like we should plan a trip in the fall. Just a reminder we are getting together in Grapevine this weekend.

Greetings from North Fort Worth. Saginaw/ Fort Worth border. I can’t wait for the travel restrictions to ease. I need to get out and “get lost.”

I lived in Saginaw (north east of the Walmart and railroad tracks) for about 3 years when I was stationed in Fort Worth. Enjoyed it up there. CLose enough to work to be convenient but not far north and you were out of the city.

Hi Clennell :) If you're the Clennell I'm thinking of. VMGR-234 from 08-13. Worked in Flight E and then was a QAR for a while as well.

I got out in 2016. High Year Tenure :( I'll keep an eye out. Grapevine is a good haul for me from here for a meetup but I'll try to make one.
