The Info
Our Walk-In Primitive Camping at Paradise on Lake Texoma is perfect for those craving a true off-the-grid escape. Whether you’re flying solo, introducing your kids to the great outdoors, or meeting up with a few friends for a nature-filled weekend, this spot offers a peaceful, no-frills experience.
Tucked away from it all, this area has no restrooms, no showers, and no picnic tables—just you, your tent, and the wild. You’ll need to hike in about 1/3 to 1/2 mile with your gear, and the nearest potable water is just as far. Fires are only allowed in designated firepits, and we ask that you pack out all your trash and leave no trace.
This space is designed with backpackers and minimalist campers in mind. If you need to bring everything but the kitchen sink, check out our regular tent sites instead. We do have carts and wheelbarrows to help with your gear—just be sure to return them when you’re done.
Ready to find your slice of paradise? Let’s get you out here.
We’ve had several issue recently of folks driving their car beyond the fence and past the “No Vehicles Beyond This Point Sign” We don’t like being negatively blunt, but:
VEHICLES ARE NOT ALLOWED BEYOND THE FENCE AND MUST STAY BY RESTROOMS. IF YOU DRIVE YOUR CAR TO BEYOND THE FENCE AND SIGNS TO THE PRIMITVE SITE, YOU WILL BE FINED $250 AND ESCORTED OFF THE PROPERTY.
Please park at the main restrooms or along the road—no vehicles past the “No Vehicles Beyond This Point” sign. Don’t block the path, dump station, or roadways. This is primitive camping, so be prepared to walk your gear in. We’ve got carts available to help—just be sure to return them when you’re done. Need a hand? Call the office and we’ll do our best to send someone to assist.
