About
Ragtown Recreation Area sits high on a scenic bluff overlooking the Texas shore of Toledo Bend Reservoir within Sabine National Forest. Completed in 1975 and operated by the Sabine River Authority of Texas, this primitive campground offers single and double campsites, each equipped with a fire ring, lantern post, and picnic table. The boat ramp provides access to Toledo Bend's excellent fishing waters throughout most of the year. Visitors can explore the 1-mile Mother Nature's Trail, which meanders past magnificent oak and beech trees along the lakeshore, offering peaceful views of the reservoir. This is a primitive camping experience with no restrooms or potable water on site. Campers should come fully prepared with their own water supply and plan accordingly. Pets are welcome but must be crated, caged, or on a leash no longer than 6 feet.
Directions
Follow Highway 87 east from Center for 11 miles; turn left (east) on FM 139 for 6 miles; bear right onto FM 3184 and follow 4 miles to entrance.
