I have to admit that we are enjoying the cool days and nights in Colorado, but we will be returning next week to North East Texas.
Tyler State Park is one of our favorites, but reservations would be required even in the Summer heat. We live only 20 miles from Dainderfield State Park so we have never stayed there, but it would be another good choice. There is also Bob Sandlin State Park near Pittsburg and Mount Pleasant. Finally there is Caddo Lake State Park near Jefferson, a truly unique geographical setting.
There are two excellent COE parks on Lake 'o The Pines, between Jefferson and our home town of Ore City: Brushy Creek and Buckhorn.
Let me know if I can help with local information. I'll be home next week "enjoying" the heat and humidity. In the meantime, I am active online in Colorado.
