Coffee Mill is a small, budget-friendly campground on Caddo-LBJ National Grasslands near Honey Grove, offering lakeside tent, RV, and primitive camping. Operated by the U.S. Forest Service, it provides vault toilets, potable water, fire rings, and picnic tables in a quiet setting with a fishing pier and boat access. Visitors come for fishing, boating, hiking, and dark sky viewing when conditions allow.
Coffee Mill Campground offers standard non-electric campsites suitable for tents and small RVs. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis year-round, with no advanced reservation options for individual sites.
Weather and SeasonsBest season: fall. Fall offers the most comfortable weather and the best mix of activities — daytime highs typically range from the mid-50s to mid-70s°F, with cool, crisp nights ideal for campfires. Boating and fishing are at their peak as water temperatures drop and fish become more active, while oak woodlands and native grasses take on autumn hues and insect pressure drops. Visitor levels are moderate (fewer holiday crowds than summer), giving you quiet shoreline access and easier backcountry hiking.
Peak months: October, November, April, May
Avoid: July, August
