You could also look at Passport America. 1/2 price for a site for 1-7 nights. Rules & restrictions apply. Last price I saw was $44/year. Could be quite a savings for you.

Watch for campgrounds that will charge extra for your 3rd kid. Doesn't matter the age. A lot of private campgrounds are for 2adults, 2 kids. Extra person $X. State parks in TX are for 8 people so no worries there!

Yep Walmart has it pretty well sewn up in the we-have-everything dept.

State parks in Texas I would recommend are: Brazos Bend, Monahans Sandhills, Inks Lake, Garner, Balmorrhea, & Davis Mountain. Lots for kids to do at each.

Thanks for this info. We are hoping to start our camping experience from 1st night off the plane & hire a cabin or similar until we have our rig.
We already have a plan for the 3rd child syndrome. We are travelling with another family who only have 1 child, so in total there will be 8 of us. So one of ours becomes one of theres for a brief moment. ;) This is more than likely how we will travel anyway so there only child has interaction with one of ours while on the road. Taking turns of course.

WOW - start camping 1st night off the plane - WITH 3 kids???

I am not from Texas but have been to D-F/W a couple of times. I doubt you would find a CABIN within 50 miles of D-F/W - so it's a long cab ride, OR rent a car.

I know Perth is the largest city in Western Auz. with a population of 1.8 mill., BUT D-F/W is a huge area as well - pop. over 1.2 mill and it's a long way out of town by confusing interstate traffic - GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

Then you want to buy a truck and a fifth wheel within a short period of time!!!!. People spend YEARS researching this kind of stuff and STILL wind up with LEMONS.

For a USED T.V. (in good condition) you might pay $40,000.00 and a fifth wheel of the size you need would cost at LEST that much.

If it were I - (and it's not) wanting to do - what you want to do - - I would look at RENTING a nice BIG class C, or even a class A. They are available in the D-F/W area AND would include ALL you need for a very comfortable trip for you and your family - ALL INCLUDED.
