Camping: Mission Tejas State Park
Details
Nearby cute little state park with hilly, woodsy trails and near the Davy Crockett National Forest! Also near a small state historical park - Caddo Mounds State Historical Site, and the Alabama Creek Wildlife Management Area.
About 1:46 minutes away from WDL! Crockett is last town on the way there, so stop there for last minute supplies!
I have 4 & 5; both are pad sites with one car driveways. Pullover spots for set up. It’s a smaller park; spillover at showers or day use if we have to.
FYI: single night use sites near picnic area/day use spot.
FYI: free primitive camping at Neches Bluff Campground if state parks are just too boojie for you!
Activities will be planned for each day and posted as open day events on MeetUp as well.
