I came here on a recommendation based in two fellow campers I met from the Austin area while camping near Guadalupe Mountains National Park. Unfortunately, the day I arrived for my one night reservation it had rained all day and I arrived a little bit late. But I got my tent set up just in time and was hoping for the next day to be relatively rain free. Unfortunately, when I woke up the next morning I noted it was to rain in a few hours so I broke camp and unfortunately did not hike to the waterfall.
Now, for the review of the actual campsite…
I arrived after hours and was able to just drive in and go straight to my reserved site, #46. Somehow, I had managed to get the only site without a pavilion over the picnic table in the row of campsites, but that wasn't the end of the world. The sites are large enough and I was able to get set up and cooking shortly after arrival. The trash dumpster was right across from my site but far enough away that it didn't present any smell issues. The restrooms however were less than desirable; the men's was always locked which meant everyone was using the women's side and it looked like it was in sore need of being emptied out.
Cell service was non-existent for Verizon at the site, however the free state park wifi worked in my campsite likely from the nearby park headquarters. Wish I had more time to explore the park and the campsite, as I feel.my time was cut super short. Sometimes that's just how it goes though!
Spent two nights here part of recent road trip to National and State Parks in Texas. I was only able to get a site for two nights as it was the week of Thanksgiving. Being as tent camper, I was lucky to be able to a few days before arrival cancel my original campsite in the main area for more secluded campsite in the no generator zone. This is the area you want to camp in, especially if you have a tent or a smaller trailer as you generally have trees around your campsite giving you some privacy. The campsite was equipped with a picnic table, bear food locker and a charcoal grill. Some of the sites also feature a pavilion for the picnic table.
I would say that this is a remote part of the park, but then every part of the park is like that. There's easy access to a short nature trail that starts in the campground and goes along the bend in the Rio Grande River and also includes a short rocky hill one can go up for views of Boquillas, Mexico. Personally, I went up for sunrise one morning with s cup of coffee (took no more than 10 minutes to walk) and enjoyed the sun rise over Mexico.
There's a store at the RV park that has essential items, including beer both packs and singles. There's also free wifi to use there, but there is no cellular service with at least Verizon within the campground.
I made the trip over from Panama City at the relative last minute for a quick night in the Apalachicola National Forest. Seeing that Wright Lake opened up recently, and with the majority of sites listed as First Come First Served, I figured I would make the drive and check it out. I was pleasantly surprised to find that only six sites were occupied and found myself Site 14 along the perimeter of the campground. Distance between the sites was pretty decent with at least some demarcation between each with vegetation. In the inner camp sites surrounding the bath house there however isn't anything that really breaks up one campsite to another. That being said, with most of the campground being empty, everyone had plenty of space. Things look a little refreshed with the grills and fire rings almost looking new, however some sites were missing grill plates for the fire ring. The lake itself isn't very big and there's an easy .25 mi trail that circles around it.
