McBride Canyon & Mullinaw Creek Camp

We are traveling and discovered the camping area with a quick Campendium search. (Thank you ‘two tired teachers’ for your excellent video review) We accessed the camping area via Cas Johnson road. The paved road does become a hard-packed dirt road, but was fine to drive on. We were able to locate a site that was very secluded and shaded; a bonus as it is HOT! We were able to use our generator to cool down the camper when we first arrived, (no neighbors to disturb) and as the evening progressed, it did cool off and we enjoyed the cool night air. The vault toilets were clean and obviously maintained. There was a picnic table and fire pit, but it was so hot, we did not spend much time outside. The only drawback was the yellow sticker-type burrs that stuck to everything….clothes, shoes, dog…which were a nuisance. There was no cell service where we camped, but a walk up the road did get us enough coverage to check in with family.

Stayed a week and it was high winds most days. However, the canyon protected you from some and the trees protected you from more. Wasn’t bad at all!

There are vault toilets here and trash can that are serviced each Monday.

The sites are spacious. This time of year I was the only camper in the area 4 of the 7 days.

Ironically, when the two other parties camped here, they did so right next to me. Hey, free camping is what it is sometimes……..

There was some ATT LTE service that was good enough for streaming low data streams, but it was a bit unpredictable.

I could call my friends and text with no problems.
