Buescher State Park
Summer vacation were the time of the year where families could bond and catch up with things usually left unattended and taken for granted in the hectic regular working days of the year. Kids are out of school and parents take a break from work. It is the time of the year where many families travel cross-country and find camp sites where they could share the fun of wildlife and at the same time get away from the hassles of the urban life. This is still the way a lot of camping in Texas is.
Cleburne State Park
I grew up loving the Wild West, filled with rich and vivid imaginations on cowboys, bandits and hidden treasures in a rugged and rustic setting which I frequently see on television and movies. Texas has long been a famous symbol of the Wild West. It is known as the Lone Star, this historic state in the south and has been associated with the desert rugged setting of many cowboy films. However, contrary to its image, only ten percent of Texas topography is desert. Majority of the state is composed of former prairies and grasslands.
Lake Casa Blanca State Park
Camping isn’t all about wildlife and nature. Yes! The main attraction of Texas camping might be to escape the rushes of city life, and breathe fresh air in the countryside, but several camps offer something more than the usual.
Near the boundary of Texas and Mexico is the Lake Casa Blanca International State Park, which offers the usual amenities of state parks, and at the same time takes visitor in a glimpse to Mexican culture. Nearby is the city of Laredo, a cultural gateway to the Mexican Republic. The city is one of Texas’ most impressive border cities.
