About
Valley View Group Use is a rustic 15-site campground situated within the 1,500-acre Designated Bird Dog Training Area on the LBJ National Grassland in Wise County, Texas. The facility was constructed through a volunteer agreement with local bird dog training enthusiasts and serves both general campers and those participating in dog training activities. Bird dog trials run from October 1 through March 31. The campground features a 20x40-foot pavilion with a Texas-sized charcoal grill, making it well-suited for group gatherings. Amenities include barrier-free vault restrooms and picnic tables. Water is available for horses and livestock but is not potable; campers must bring their own drinking water. Sites are available first-come, first-served at $10 per night with payment by cash, check, or QR scan-and-pay on site. Quiet hours are 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM.
