Palmetto State Park

Palmetto State Park is another campground that we found while bikepacking thru Texas. During our visit my biggest compliment is their incredibly kind staff. I had taken a tumble on my bike and was pretty scraped up. We checked in after-hours and were going by an outdated map when choosing our site. We pitched our tent in the rv side but when the over seer saw how scraped up I was he allowed us to stay put. Now I happen to love the more "natural" campgrounds. I say that because what I consider beautiful can make it a bit more difficult for large rigs to maneuver around the curves and large trees and our campsite was a bit muddy. We were just off a game trail where a heard of deer passed thru and I had the pleasure of viewing that morning! They have a set up with a knowledgeable staff, perfect imo for school groups or scouts to have a great time while also learning about ecology at the same time. Pa0ddle boat and water trikes for rent, fishing..you name it. (If biking watch out for the suicidal squirrels! LOL ) You almost get the feeling that you're camping in jurassic Park. ;) it's just far enough away while also being convenient to a Buck-eez (did I spell that correctly?) Which I get excited to this day when I find one! The history in this park is fascinating. I wish we'd had time to experience the bbq-ing it's famous for! Definitely worth a visit.
