TravelerHere in the winter it’s nice enough
It’s mid February and pretty empty during the week except the camp hosts who are friendly. Got to probably 70% capacity over the weekend. It’s rural and not a lot going on, which is what I wanted. Went to Brenham ice cream factory and that was an awesome free tour. Site 4 is where I’d like to stay next time I’m here. I’m at site 37 and it’s a Y share with 36. Tight turning for some of these sites. Bathhouse was clean enough for an army corps of engineers campground but I would not recommended.
ScoutGood for family
Not too bad. Campsites right on the water. They are a bit close together but good for multi family and friend trips.
