Texas Flats

This place is very very cool. Its got that nice wilderness feel. At the same time, plenty plenty of space for super large groups. Plenty of apace for cars. We had about 30 people for a birthday party. The firepit is the largest ive ever seen! The place was so large we setup our own playground with an aerial silk stage. Weather at camp was extremely comfortable 68-73 degrees F. Due to mass amount of shade provided by the surrounding trees. There are many benches and shared vaulted toilets around the area. We went in late August. Such a great place to hang with alot of good friends.

Driving to the place was like driving through a maze in the forest. Road was all dirt, slightly maintained, a few rough spots, but passable via regular passenger sedans at the time. Dont know what its like when its wet though. Id imagine muddy. We drove around to a near by swimming hole that had a small natural water slide, and to bass lake, beautiful place for a lake swim. Also a popular one. My favorite was shuteye peak, little over an hour drive i think it was. The view, oh my. However you will need a very capable, lifted 4x4 vehicle to get there. Its an offroad trail rated hard. There's many hefty climbs near the end, during the climb i was driving on a granite slab, with occasional boulders protruding from the mountain side (passenger). The edge side (driver), a bit close to steep edge, but had a stunning view of the mountain ranges.
