State Park Getaway–Davis Mountains State Park
Friday, April 30th, 2010This is Passport to Texas State Park Getaway
Davis Mountains SP is 27-hundred acres, and represents the largest mountain range that’s fully contained within the state of Texas…and it’s a great place for cool summer SP Getaway. Bryan Frazier is here to tell us more.
It seems like in the middle of summertime, in other parts of Texas, when it’s too hot to even go outside, Davis Mountains SP is figuratively and literally, the coolest place in Texas. It’s some 20 degrees cooler than place like Austin and San Antonio. It’s a respite from the heat.
And so, not only does it have Indian Lodge inside the park, where it has all the amenities of a hotel, with a restaurant, but you’ve got camping. You’ve got primitive camping; you’ve got equestrian camping with overnight accommodations. You’ve got RV sites that have not only water and electric hook-hp sites, but its one of our parks in the system that has water, electric, sewer, and cable TV hookups inside the state park with pull through sites. So, if you’re an RV-er, Davis Mountains SP is definitely one of those places that you definitely want to go to.
Davis Mountains SP is great for wildlife viewing. You can go right outside of Indian Lodge on the hiking trail and see all kinds of wildlife, as well as the native flora there to that region of Texas. And so, Davis Mountains SP is one of those places that people who go there rave about it and they go back again, and again, and again.
Thanks, Bryan. Find reservation information at passporttotexas.org.
