Ive been getting the itch to go camping again, but Im tired of the pull up and camp sites I usually go to. I tend not to use primitive sites because I want the camp fire. Are there any places where I can hike in and I would be allowed to have a ground fire? I am in the DFW area and I would prefer some place where I dont have to drive forever to get to. Any suggestions?

How about the Crosstimbers trail on Lake Texoma? I have seen it in here and you may try a search.
Fairfield has a primitive area that is ....not real nice
Cedar Hill??
Maybe even some corp parks like Hickory Creek on Lake Lewisville. They have a hike in primitive area.
I know most parks allow fires at the campground??

As a matter of fact, I believe I have just what your looking for. McCown Valley Park (COE) on Whitney Lake has sites like you describe. Sites 48 through 60 are "Water Only" sites and you can drive right up to them. Very nice park as well. I am putting a review together on this park and should have it up in a day or two. Have a link until then:

Happy Camping!

I dont think anyone gets what im asking.
What Im looking for is a primitive site that allows camp fires. Anyone know of such a place?

It was already suggested, but look into the Cross Timbers Trail on Lake Texoma.

Sorry 'Ben. Your correct when you say that I didn't get it. Can't help you on this one but I hope you find what your looking for.
Happy Camping!

Primitive? Go to Padre Island National Seashore. You have 65 miles of beach, seldom a camper within a mile of you, and burn a fire as big as you want. Collecting firewood there is ok. Just don't burn treated wood which washes up on shore, it releases the chemicals into the air and smell nasty. It is a good place to get away from it all, just need a 4x4.:cool: This would be quite a drive for you. What about somewhere in a neighboring state? Maybe their rules for primitive/no ground fires would be different, especially if they've had rain. Good luck.

I pretty much figured there wouldnt be many places. And none that allow a fire on a primitive site. Oh well
How about suggestions for some good hiking trails?
