Recommendations for Texas state parks?

[USMCRet93]

We have recently acquired a TT and are looking forward to using it for weekend trips. Would like to hear recommendations for state parks and/or other camping sites in the north Texas area that we might visit. We currently have reservations for Bonham State Park next week (Dec 13-15).

You have a lot to choose from in that area. Dangerfield, Cado Lake are a couple of my favs, also Eisenhower and Cooper lake are nice.

Getting into Bonham's camping area is a little tricky. From the campground road to the sites is a fairly steep drop. I made it in there OK with the 30' fifth wheel I used to have but the one I have now would be kind of iffy.

Since you are close to Denton take a look at Hickory Creek COE park. Great campsites right on Lake Lewisville. If you look at my photolink you'll find lots of north TX state parks and pictures of individual campsites that we liked.

You might also want to look at the North Texas Camping Association website on Yahoo groups. Nice group of people that do monthly campouts.

In the North Texas area, we enjoyed visiting Possum Kingdom State Park. Don't know what it's like after that fire a few years back.

Now if you want to go out west to the Panhandle (which some folks call West Texas), I'd recommend Palo Duro Canyon SP and Caprock Canyon SP, in that order.

I'd stay away from both in the summertime unless you're taking an overnighter on the way to someplace cooler.

Palo Duro State Park is one of the best state parks that we have ever been to.

Outstanding.
