Camp & Trail Info
The Bois D'Arc campground is open year round with over 28 miles of shady trails around Cofffee Mill & Crockett Lakes in Fannin County Texas.
There are 27 campsites available, with 15 pull thru's for large trailers. All sites are supplied with water, horse tie, fire ring and a picnic table. We also have a handicap accessible campsite with a special boarding ramp. A restroom facility is provided by the US Forest Service and a covered pavilion donated by us THE CADDO TRAIL RIDER's ASSOCIATION. All trails are well marked with metal or wooden signs. Over night parking is $6 per night. Day use parking with in the camp ground is $3. There is also a day use area located 1/3 mile east of the campground that is free, with water available.
The name "Grasslands" is misleading, as most of the trails are through forested areas including stands of large pine trees. These trees provide protection from wind and sun allowing comfortable year round riding. The trails provide incredible scenery for you and ample watering spots for your animals. Wildlife includes deer, turkey, wild pig, and mixture of water fowl and birds.
Caddo Trail Riders Association Information
Caddo Trail Riders Association is a group of horse and mule lovers who organized to promote riding in the Caddo National Grasslands and broke ground on this campsite in September 2000. As a growing family oriented group, they encourage preservation/respect for our wilderness habitat. Activities include trail rides, cookouts, annual fund raising, trail and camp maintenance, and Christmas Party! Come join the fun of exploring nature on horseback!

Howdy,
Once again a big ole thanks to everyone who helped clean up the camp Saturday. Looks great again!
A couple of big trees are across Trail 4B, the Forest Service is supposed to remove them ASAP. You can get around them in the brush. Also, USFS has removed 6 dead trees in the camp, with a couple more to go. At this rate we
ll be camping in an open prairie soon. Don't tie horses to trees!!!!!
Archery deer season opened October 3rd. Gun season opens November 7th thru January 3rd. Orange vest is required for anyone on the trails during gun season.
Your officers of the club have decided not to have a Christmas Party this year due to the virus. Too close, too confined, too risky. Let's be as safe as we can and hope for some relief next year. Don't forget the camping week end of October 17-18.
Welcome new member Sarah and Chris Caves of Celeste.
See Ya Out There,
Phil
Howdy,
Ya missed a beautiful week end to ride if you didn't make it out. Trails are in good shape and the bugs are not bad. Saturday October 3rd is our scheduled camp clean up day - start about 9ish. Last one of the year. There has been a lot of rain, which equals a lot of grass. Mostly mowing and weeding, plus a few limbs.
As a reminder the week end of October 17-18 is a camp/ride week end which is replacing our pot luck supper. Visit with other folks at camp using your own judgement. Hopefully we will get thru this virus soon and be able to relax the rules.
See Ya Out There,
Phil
