Seeing as how Spring Break was getting underway, we had made a reservation a few days before our arrival. In TX state parks, you cannot reserve a particular site, and are assigned one when you arrive. We were quite fortunate in getting a very nice site, 5, with some shade, but no too dark.

Dozens of deer roam the campground. Thanks to people who see no heed to obey the signs and feed them anyway, they are very tame and always on the lookout for a dole.
