About
Stubblefield Lake Recreation Area is a historic campground constructed in 1937 by the Civilian Conservation Corps as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal programs. Located in the Sam Houston National Forest just an hour north of Houston, the campground sits on a peaceful 25-acre lake surrounded by East Texas pine forest. The campground offers 28 campsites available on a first-come, first-served basis, with no advance reservations accepted. Each site includes a picnic table, barbecue grill, and lantern post. Flush toilets with showers are available in the campground. Sites accommodate both tents and RVs, though there are no utility hookups. Day-use areas are open from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Recreation opportunities include fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and picnicking. The lake is limited to non-motorized boats, providing a tranquil setting for paddling and fishing. A boat ramp is available for easy lake access. Some campsites are located directly on the lake, while others are set back in the woods. The campground is accessible via FM 1375 west from New Waverly for 9 miles, then right on FSR 215 for 3 miles.
Directions
From New Waverly, take Texas FM 1375 west for 9 miles. Turn right (northwest) on Forest Service Road 215 and continue for 3 miles to reach the campground.
