Camping in Texas
Top Campsites Near Dallas ...
One of the great things about Texas camping is that you can go pretty much
any time of the year. Since winter weather is normally pretty mild this allows you
to fit in a few extra camping trips while your buddies up north are hunkered
down trying to stay warm.
Again, this year, at more than 70 state parks, the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department is waiving fishing license requirements for families as part of their
Family Fishing Celebration. The promotion will continue through August 31,
2007. They've been running a similar promotion the last couple years, and its
really been nice for families. So, on your next camping trip, be sure and take
along your fishing gear, so that you can enjoy some fun times fishing with your
kids.
