About
The Sabine River Authority of Texas campground at Toledo Bend Project. The operator publishes no confirmed site count, so none is recorded here. Reservations: first-come/no reservation stated. Coordinates are for Burkeville rather than the campground entrance - confirm the exact location before travelling. Primitive self-contained camping below the dam, run jointly by the Texas and Louisiana river authorities. There are no facilities beyond trash cans - no water, restrooms or hookups - and no published site count. The spillway channel area on the Louisiana bank is a separate place.
