Camping in Texas
Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife
Camping is the perfect way to turn an average weekend into a vacation. State parks have everything from primitive camp grounds to those with restrooms, water and electricity. There are parks in every region of Texas, so your destination is only a short drive away.
Be prepared before leaving on your camping adventure. Pack a tent, lantern, and water, and be sure to wear clothing that’s appropriate for the time of year and location. Remember your sunscreen all year round.
For those who want to bring a little piece of home with them, several parks accommodate RVs. Call the site to determine what RV connections are available.
For the pampered camper, check out state parks with cabins and lodges. Historic inns and secluded ranches make for an extra relaxing getaway.
When camping, remember you are a visitor in nature’s home. To discourage resident wildlife from your campsite, store and dispose of food properly and never leave a campfire or cook stove unattended. Always pack out everything you packed into the park.
Follow these guidelines and you’re sure to be a happy camper.
Details about camping in state parks can be found on the Texas Parks & Wildlife website.
