Boles Field Campground

6 ReviewsAdd Review

Foxhound enthusiasts and history buffs will discover an unusual camping destination at Boles Field Campground, which sits adjacent to America's National Foxhound Cemetery within Sabine National Forest. The US Forest Service facility operates year-round at $6 per night, providing electric and water hookups at each site along with basic amenities including restrooms with hot showers and a dump station.

Sites cluster close together in an open layout, with a major road running directly through the camping area that generates consistent traffic noise throughout the day and night. Annette K. notes the campground "has electric and water at ever site tho" despite challenging access conditions including soft ground and potholes along the dirt entrance road. The amphitheater and group pavilion with fireplace remain largely unused, though a trail behind the pavilion leads to a creek and historic Native American stone steps.

Cell service varies significantly by carrier, with Sprint and T-Mobile providing reliable coverage while Verizon runs slow and AT&T offers marginal service. Abundant firewood lies scattered throughout the tree lines. Wildlife includes coyotes that howl at night, various bird species, and a resident gray cat that frequents campsites. The campground attracts RV travelers seeking budget-friendly overnight stops, though the road noise and close quarters make it less suitable for those wanting a quiet forest experience.

Guests frequently mentioned the exceptional $6 value for electric/water sites with helpful hosts. However, significant road noise from traffic and bathroom cleanliness issues were common concerns that affected the camping experience.

Small Rest stop with dump station

This rest stop has plenty of picnic tables, some grills, restrooms available and a dump station. Ididn't see any camping/ or overnight signs so it should be ok to stay there. Only downside it's that there isn't a lot of spots available for RV/trucks for cars it's ok.

Great price!

This is super nice for the price at $6/ night for electric and water. There's a basic bathhouse with warm water, though you have to press the button to keep the water going. Sites are fairly close together, but the surrounding are beautiful forests. Much better than a gravel lot at $50/ night sandwiched in with everyone else! No wifi and phone/ data is spotty. Towns nearby with awesome bbq at Darryl's inn Center, TX. About 20-40 minutes to the lake depending on where you go. There's a group picnic shelter and amphitheater for use as well.

Can't beat for Price

Very out and the open! Hard for rigs to pull into, soft ground, and potholes in the dirt road. Site are very close together, first come first serve. Has electric and water at ever site tho! $6 a night is a steal, I have the America is Beautiful/interagency pass and only pay $3 a night. Saves you 50% at each park, for sale online for $80 annually. 03/23/21 the bathrooms are still locked due to the 9 degree freeze they had busted the pipes and month ago. Amphitheater is cool for pics, but looks rotten and never used. Pavillion has fireplace and never in use. Behind the fireplace if you walk directly behind it about 300ft into a trail that runs into a creek, to your right will be old native American stone work stairs ( i posted a video) thats very cool. Also posted a video about the national foxhound graveyard that host the best of America's foxhounds. Also super cool. What isn't cool is when you got the fireflies and the campfire and the crickets, and mellows and dogs roasting, then, booom!!!! Here comes big rigs flying thur your ambience at 80mph loud AF just 100 feet away from all campsites. There is a major road that cuts the camp into two. Kills the whole "nature" feel! All night long!!! Bluebonnets are in full swing, so are the woodpeckers, red cardinals, blue Jay's, no coons or squirrels tho. Left food out the whole week, not a thing got into our bread or food. There is a cute grey kitty here, she comes every night and eats my dogs leftovers. Coyotes due there howling at different locations every 🌙, but no worries here. Ample wood for burning, I'm not kidding. Bring ur ax! Piles and piles at every 🌳 line. No snakes that I've seen, but spiders. And little maggots keep falling from the trees to our hammock and chairs. They did a prescribed burn 🔥 while we were here. Didnt inform us either. But that's seasonal. Host is lonely and bored, loves to talk, kinda deaf. Gotta yell. But nice guy overall. Cell service for Verizon is very sliw, AT&T is marginal at best,, Sprint/Tmobile is great. Well, thats all folks, hope I could be of help.
