Location & Map
- When – Feb, 2019
- Weather – 80’s 40’s
Facilities
- Notes:
- This is a small camping/RV area tucked in the Lost Maples valley with only 30 spaces for tent and RV camping. Our advise, Reserve Early!
- The camping area is fairly open without a lot of mature trees.
- The restrooms and showers are clean and well kept.
- This is a quiet park, with most spaces full, the noise was minimal.
- The park staff were very friendly, helpful and showed a great deal of care for managing this little oasis in the woods.
- There is a single Dump Station near the entrance on the main road. Dumpsters and recycling bins were plentiful and the guests were keeping the area clean.
What we liked / disliked
- This is supposed to be a beautiful park in the Fall with the changing colors of the maple trees. We’ll plan to return to see the colors.
- The trails are dog friendly, (leash required), and seemed to be well marked and maintained.
- Our stay was short, but the birds were at a minimum and no sign of any four legged critters. We did hear two owls talking to each other… but that was it.
- The camping area is disconnected from day-use area by ½ mile park road which was nice to see.
- The day use area is large and there are several hiking trails up into the hills – see map below. The trails follow the Sabinal River and branch off into the hills.
- The river area is pretty, even for early Spring, even though Spring… had not quite sprung – the colors were flat and the trees had not started to bud out just yet, but as mentioned, we’ll be back in the Fall!
