Texas Texas Jeepers!

I’ve been to Barnwell, I found it hard to navigate…the map really sucked (and they charge you for it!!!), and nobody in our group had been there before. It lightly drizzled while we were there and I’ve STILL got red dirt all up in everything.
I would love to go back sometime with somebody who knows the place.
I by no means have the map memorized but I tagged along with trail lizards out of bossier city when I was there and they knew literally every single rock on every trail….. they briefed me on all lines before we ever started down the trail. We should definitely meet there with them sometime soon as they were very helpful.I’ve been to Barnwell, I found it hard to navigate…the map really sucked (and they charge you for it!!!), and nobody in our group had been there before.

I was out at Bridgeport 2/27 and BMRA on 3/19.
Bridgeport has some decent trails. I didn't get into the difficult stuff, it was my first time out in over a decade and was kind of a shakedown run after the lift. From what I saw, there's plenty more to get into. I'm hoping to get back up there in the next month or so.
I've been to BMRA several times back in '08-'09 and my memory of the park itself has all but disappeared. Going back a few weeks ago, it felt like an entirely new place. I agree the map is awful and the copy i received looks like it hasn't been updated or revised since 2011. The park is pretty massive, lots to explore (read: get lost in). That red dirt is miserable to remove though. I had my son with me and didn't get a lot of pictures. I'll be headed back there over the Father's Day weekend with Lone Star Jeep Club.

Barnwell is awesome!
I’ll be at Hot Springs offroad last weekend of April with a large group from Louisiana if you or anyone else want to join us. KOA is 5 minutes outside the park and has very reasonable cabin prices. Also 10 minutes from the downtown strip. Makes for an awesome weekend
Welll call him and meet us there!I know a guy who has an airBnB cabin about 45 mins from Hot Springs ORV.
unfortunately his spring is pretty well filled up with kids activities. (which leaves his cabin available to rent, lol)
Saw this today for the DFW crew. Probably not the most exciting place, but worth checking out.

Hot springs is on my list. Wish I could, but I can't make that trip in April.
I’ve heard it is straight mud, I’ve had my share of mud on snorkeled four wheelers before so I’m going to pass on this place. It’s pretty cool they have a place within the metroplex though, I think that’s awesome
We plan to go regularly, last time I was there in January I bought the membership so we’ll be back for sure
If anyone is ever looking for a place to stay in Hot Springs, I have an AirBnB in town (6 miles from HSORV) and 1 mile from Bathhouse row. Send me a PM and book direct through me to save all the AirBnB/VRBO fees, it is a decent savings. I have had two 20' trailers with pickups and two jeeps parked there with no problems.

I’ll keep this in mind. We already have a camper cabin reservation at KOA but are looking to return soon with friends and more toys

If anyone knows somebody looking to buy a clean Rubicon, mine is unfortunately up for sale. Thanks
Sorry to read about your kidney issues. Great looking Jeep. Where abouts in Texas are you? I'll pass it around.
