Bristol Backcountry

About Bristol Backcountry

Set in the Ranger area of Texas, Bristol Backcountry operates as a campground. It sits outside the center of Ranger, which is the nearest town for supplies and fuel. It is operated by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

We recommend calling ahead to confirm rates, site availability, and current rules.

Bristol Backcountry is part of the camping landscape of the South, where year-round camping and long-term monthly stays are the norm rather than the exception. State park campgrounds offer some of the best-value camping in the country: scenic settings, generous sites, and ranger programs, usually for a fraction of private park rates. Use the map and directions on this page to plan your approach, and confirm site lengths if you are towing or driving a large rig.
