Seeing as how Spring Break was getting underway, we had made a reservation a few days before our arrival. In TX state parks, you cannot reserve a particular site, and are assigned one when you arrive. We were quite fortunate in getting a very nice site, 5, with some shade, but no too dark.
Date of visit: Mar 2008 |

There are a number of pull-through sites; here are 2 and 3 on the left, 18 on the right.
|
 |
The loop with sites 17-27 is much more open. This shows sites 24 and 25.
|
 |
Sites 31 and 32 offer a little more shade. |
 |
47 and 47 are quite sunny...and short. |
 |
Sites 41 and 42. |
 |
There are four bathhouses throughout the CG; two of them, inluding this one, offer hot showers. |
 |
Dosens of deer roam the campground. Thanks to people who see no heed to obey the signs and feed them anyway, they are very tame and always on the lookout for a dole. |
 |
There are hills and mountains all around the campground. We climbed the hill on the right after breakfast. |

Off to the north one can see the McDonald Observatory. |
 |
Javelinas are found here. We saw this one, and several others, on our hike. |
