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.
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.
