Cagle Recreation Area – Lake Conroe
There are several reasons I love camping at Cagle Recreation Area. Number one, it’s on beautiful Lake Conroe! Number two, it’s deep (well, what I consider deep) in the Sam Houston National Forest. Lots of huge tree’s and a very peaceful and tranquil camping area. And number 3, the camping sites are huge! None of these dinky camping site pads. No sir, these camp sites are huge and spacious.
Balmorhea State Park
Balmorhea State Park is one of the 140 State Parks that the Texas Parks Dept. oversees. In my opinion, Balmorhea is one of the most unique places to camp in Texas. Its setting is in the rough and rugged land of West Texas. When you think of it, think about an Oasis in a desert, because basically that is what Balmorhea State Park is. The Park lies on 46 acres and has a rare and unique feature. It has a pool fed by the San Solomon Springs. This Spring was used for hundreds of years by Native Americans and early Settlers.
