Well, since yesterday the water level in Lake Waco has risen another 6 ft and now all the campgrounds, day use areas, and boat ramps around Lake Waco are closed. We are now 16' above normal water level which is a LOT around here because it is pretty flat. It will probably be mid-July at the earliest before anything starts to re-open. Many of the access roads are now underwater and the local news says that they require the ground to be dry for 2-3 weeks before they will let traffic back on the roads after the water levels go back down because if they are too soft the pavement will crumble.
Frankly pretty much all the COE campgrounds around the state and many of the state parks are on rivers or lakes so who knows how many are closed. Do your homework before planning to camp anywhere in TX that is near water.
