ahead on Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas

Overnight visits to Texas State parks are easier than ever 
to plan, thanks to improvements in the online reservation 
system, including picking your own site. 

17— We’ve been listening to our customers for a long time. And some 
of the things that we’ve heard that are most wanted by our customers 
is site specific reservations.

Thomas Wilhelm is the marketing and branding manager 
for Texas State parks. Before this new online reservation 
system, overnight campers could reserve a type of site, 
but not a specific site.

40—Pick your site is a huge boon for the system. When people show 
up at a park, they want to know that they’re getting into a campsite 
that will work for them. So, whether its because they have a larger RV, 
or they want to guarantee that they’re near their friends and family, 
they want to know which site they’re going to be in before they get 
there. There’s nothing worse than showing up at a park, having your 
reservation, and realizing the only sites left available to you are ones 
that don’t really work for your equipment. With the new system, they’ll 
have the ability to go online, look at pictures and descriptions of every 
single campsite in the system, and then pick the campsite that works 
for them. And then they know exactly where they’re going when they 
get to the park. 

Make your reservations online on the Texas Parks 
and Wildlife website. Tomorrow: The Save the Day 
Pass.
