If you wanted to go on a backpack camping trip within 3 hours of houston, sleeping in hammocks and cooking off the campfire with a group of buddies where would it be?

I am not sure the true name. but in Fairfield off I-45 there is a great place to pitch a tent and do some fishing, nice lake, wake up surrounded by deer

In for answers as I am in the same boat. Actually we are needing to test packs and backcountry sleep systems for western hunts this fall.

SHNF, in the Wilderness area. Not hilly, but nothing is within 3 hours. a hundred yards from the trail you will be surprised how remote it feels.

Yup, Sam Houston, Angelina and Davy Crockett. Look into the Lone Star Trail system.

Check out the Lone Star Hiking trail in the SHNF. Can help you find the spots to park and what not. Plenty of trees for hammocking!

My buddies and I have done the complete 4 C Recreational trail several times. Its a lot of fun, and quite beautiful. We cheat and use some fire roads to drop water and beer for the evenings so we don't have to carry so much crap in.

I don't mean this in a bad way, but why do Millennials always try and create an acronym for everything?

The guy may not know that that means Sam Houston National Forrest. I'm just saying.

I don’t think it is just millennials lol I’ve heard just about everyone use that regarding the SHNF or the Sam or whatever else anyone calls it. Good looking out though bud.

You may look at Lake Georgetown loop. Not many people on it at all compared to State Parks. Trail is not bad but it is not good in places so it does test how packs ride and your footwear. I forget exact length for entire loop but it is a solid two day trip. There is a primitive campsite you can use that has 2 picnic tables.
