Quiet, remote, breezy by the water.

Great, quiet, remote location. Stopped here for a couple nights on my way from visiting family in Dallas to camping down in Big Bend NP. Dry camping / boondocking over a weekend / Sat/Sun nights. A few locals having a beer at sunset on Sat night, and a few families and fisherman enjoying the area on Sun - but otherwise had the place all to myself. Windy & whitecaps in the AM, still & hot in the afternoon.

Stayed her for three weeks. It really is a nice spot for being free, but because the locals don't pick up their trash, it may not be available because of it. There is new manager taking over, and according to the one worker I talked with, I am not sure how much longer this will be available for us nomads.

Hubbard Creek Reservoir

This place was a pleasant surprise. Not a soul here at 5pm. Shade spots, or on grass. Picnic tables and trash bins, swimming area and a boat launch. Bit of washboard on the road, but nothing drastic. Probably busy in summer but a great stop for us in late January.
