I’m staying there soon! Thanks for the honest and amazing review!!
Very nice my friend!! What a peaceful place. Great tour of the filming area (we use Pioneer Woman cookware). Great and informative video as usual. And a nice surprise on a Sunday!! Take care.
Thank you brother!! I agree, the park was very peaceful. It was nice to be able to hike and camp with all the beautiful fall colors on the trees. The lodge and her restaurant/ bakery were so cool to see. Y’all have a wonderful time camping and safe travels!!👍😁
My family and I went tent camping there for the first time two weeks ago. We enjoyed our stay there. Very nice park and very relaxing atmosphere. I enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing!
I stayed here with my daughters earlier this year. Really enjoyed this park! Best wishes! th-cam.com/video/SAbniNuTI-s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rKVDaH_WD1Xsngoa
"The lake was born ya'll" ❤️

A beautiful park! Glad to see you’ve invested in the Power Watchdog. I use the same one and have had no issue.
I agree, Daisy SP is beautiful! Especially the lake! 😁 and That’s awesome! Now that I have it… it is as important as having camper insurance lol!! 😆 Happy Camping! 👍😎
Can you get to all the trails walking/bike? Or do u need a car? Sorry, just asking because we are planning to go in a class c Rv. This way I can be mentally prepared to drive the Rv everywhere in the park or not.
Great question! You can walk/ bike across the street to get to the trails. I appreciate you watching and safe travels!!👍😎
Thanks! We really liked staying in one of the Yurts. Those are a very unique feature to Texas State Parks. th-cam.com/video/PCv_I_2AxK0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-Ndg_I9rZwT1lf0i
nice video, i wanna go there myself
Thank you so much for watching!! It was a nice state park to visit. 👍😎
I loved the video. Can you make a video of Elephant Rock State Park? Please. I’m a new subscriber. John Hughes. Sedalia, Missouri 65301.
Hello John, I’m glad you loved the video!! Thank you so much for the suggestion! The pictures of Elephant Rock State Park are absolutely beautiful! I look forward to visiting the park! Thank you for watching and subscribing to the channel!! I appreciate you!! 👍😎
I’m sorry. I mentioned the wrong name of a favorite state park. It was Enchanted Rock State Park. It’s a wonderful state park. Tent camping there.
No worries! I looked up the park Enchanted Rock state park and it looks very nice! I look forward to visiting the park!
I heard about Arkansas parks being beautiful. Thanks for explaining the different camp areas. I looked on the park map and it helped make it easier to see good campsites - but yes - I love the site photos on the Texas State Park website!
Wow. What a fantastic sunset with the hills in the background. Beautiful video, brother!! I just released my Blanco SP vid and we just returned from our SE Texas tour. Happy trails, friend!
Hey Corey, sorry for the super late response. I agree the sunset and the hills at that park are amazing!! Your Blanco SP video was awesome!! Blanco really is such a nice park and I loved the natural swimming area! We are in Oklahoma doing some relaxing /no filming camping this week. Are next meet up will be coming up soon next year!! Super excited! Safe travels brother!👍😎
@@campingtexan7721Sounds awesome. Looking forward to seeing you guys again in February!
I stumbled upon the channel and video I needed. Wow what an amazing place. I will have to check them out if they are open in the winter months! So beautiful, reminds me of RGV/south texas area, just an amazing looking place. thank you for the history and glad both sides of the CCC men were able to build something amazing together
Do they have any other camping sites besides the few you showed? What about next to the water? Do you have stickers available for using on our rv’s. Thanks very much.
Great question! Yes, Please check out our first nails creek video. No, we don’t have any stickers yet. I appreciate you watching!!👍😎
@@campingtexan7721 we just started watching your videos. Keep on keeping on!!!! We like them!
I appreciate ya’ll watching the videos!! I hope to get a new video out maybe by this weekend or next weekend. I’m glad y’all like them!👍😎
Thank you for making this great video! We’re going to this park this weekend and we’ll see if the lake water level is higher
Thanks for watching! I hope the lake level was higher when you went.👍😎
Thanks for the video!
I appreciate you watching!👍😎
I like when you do more pictures.
Thank you! I will try and add more pictures to the videos. Thanks for watching!👍😎
Nice video, my friend!! Looks like you had the whole place to yourself! What a nice campground. You're absolutely right, there's something for everyone there! Thanks for the vid. My Saturday evenings are back to normal now!😊
Thank you Corey!! That’s great to hear! Cooper lake Doctors creek was very nice!! I absolutely had a blast filming that peaceful park as well. Y’all have a safe travels and looking forward to the next meetup with yall!!😃
Hope your ok. Haven't seen any new videos.
Thank you for your concern. I took a break for a bit to spend time with family. We do have new video out tonight! Thank you for your support and for watching the videos!! I appreciate you!👍😎
Thank you sir for your service
Thank you!! Its an honor that I don’t take lightly. I appreciate you watching and subscribing!
Hi! Thanks for the video I was interested in going there this weekend and wanted to know if the campsites were spaced out enough for privacy or shaded by trees? Or what you would recommend for someone who wants some personal space
Yes, some campsites have space for privacy. For privacy factor that I can think of, if your a tent camper and like water only sites, then I would recommend any of the overflow camping area Sites but I liked 189,188, or 187. Another camping area/ loop I would recommend is Elm Point camping area : Sites 167 or 179.( Water only sites), Fossil Ridge Camping area (Water only sites): site 153( not as close to other sites and more private). If you’re either a Tent or a RV or etc. camper and you like the Full hookups then the more private campsites will be the outer sites of Bois D’Arc Ridge camping loops: specifically site 96 looks more private than most of the campsites in that loop. The other loop Armadillo hill was partially closed the last time we went. Also for Bois D’Arc Ridge, I’m pretty sure has trees covering the sites or area. I hope you have an awesome camping experience and find the most private campsite for you. Also, if you need to you can download a map from the Texas State Parks app and print it out or look on your phone to find a better site or the ones I have listed. I appreciate you watching!👍😎
Very happy to find your channel. We're heading to this park soon. Great information.
I hope y’all enjoy Bastrop State Park and I appreciate y’all watching!👍😎
I know it's been a couple years but I'm wondering if everyone drives from their campsite to the beach or walks or bikes? We're thinking about bringing the kids' scooters to get from the campsite to the beach. Not sure if that would work well.
Great question! Yes, you can drive out on the beach but your kids would have to ride their scooters on the pavement in the parking lot because of the transition between the pavement and the sand to the beach.
Thank You For Sharing This Park Information ! Very Well Presented. Great State Park To Consider Visiting Soon.
Thank you for watching!👍😎
We were at PK last month we really enjoyed it. We were in 16 and our family was in 20 & 21. And the lake was full. And it was 108* every day we were there we were in the water all day with cap and a long sleeve shirt so we wouldn’t burn! I subscribed to your channel. Great information from all your videos. Thanks for the hard work!
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad y’all enjoyed Possum Kingdom SP with your family and got to make some memories as well!! Thank you for subscribing to the channel! I appreciate you and safe travels on your next camping trip!!👍😎
The stones that you like around campsite 160 and 161 that is bags of concrete stacked. And the paper has deteriorated over time!
Thanks for watching!👍😎
Do they still have screen enclosures?
Great question! They do not.
@@campingtexan7721 man they were the best for creeping coons and critters out of the food 🤣 and away from the Texas mosquitoes 🦟 and flies. Great video. I want to fish there just once. Been watching videos and ran across you
I love Blackbeard's. I sat at the bar where they keep they keep the drink out for the resident ghost! Very cool place.
That’s are favorite restaurant when we are in Corpus Christi! I appreciate you watching!👍😎
Nice camp site. Would be the same wherever you put it.
Great video. Great info. Planning a trip here. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!!👍😁
Great video… I drive through today to scope things out and I agree
I appreciate you watching!👍😎
BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE. The chiggers will devour you. Ask me how I know. I stayed in site E057 last July in order to go scuba diving at one of the Atlas Missile Silos. Very nice park. I video taped the dung beetles working their magic after my dogs. Very cool. The park attendants told me to leave it. With all that being said it's a nice park.
Aww, I’m glad y’all made it to ASP and enjoyed it so much! I commented on your Colorado City SP video that you should come here and you told me that you already had it on your calendar. (I think it was that video). I live 45 minutes from this park, it’s amazing and you did an awesome job with this video. In my opinion Fall is the absolute best time to visit, the trees change color and you feel like you’re in New England instead of West Texas. I discovered your channel not long ago and I’m really looking forward to going back and watching all your previous videos, you do an outstanding job of showcasing our wonderful state parks. Thank you so much and safe travels!
Thank you for watching and supporting the channel! I enjoyed my visit to Abilene state park and would consider it to be in my top 5 list of Texas State Parks to visit. It is definitely a hidden gem!
Wow Chris! I have to admit I've never given much thought to Abilene SP but now I'm definitely going to get there at some point. What a CCC powerhouse. Great video brother. I'm working on mine now. It's quite the challenge but as usual I tend to make things a little more complicated than they really should be. 😁😁. Take it easy, brother. I'll be in Whitney SP in February.
Thanks Corey!! Abilene is a hidden gem everyone needs to put on their bucket list. I can’t wait to check out your first video when it comes out! Ya’ll will absolutely love lake Whitney state park! E-mail me when it gets closer and we will grab a campsite and meet up.
You forgot to show of the caves down by the swimming area. My kiddos loved it there!
Thanks for your comment! Although I strive to mention or highlight the main attractions at the parks, it’s important to me that you as a viewer get out and explore and find additional and exciting parts of the park on your own. Sounds like that’s a cool feature that you found on your own!👍😎
Great video!! Crazy only one year ago gas was $2.45/gal 7:01
Thank you for the shout out brother!! I'm getting my content organized and of course overthinking it as usual! Again, it was great meeting you and looking forward to the next time. Great video man.
Thank you!! I enjoyed my visit with you as well!! Can’t wait to see your first video brother!!👍😁
Another great video! Thank you! I love Blanco Stste Park in the Fall. Fun!
Thanks for this awesome video. Definitely want to visit this Texas State Park.
I appreciate you watching and enjoying the video! 👍😎
You did an amazing job covering just about everything at the park. My wife and I went there for the very first time RV and this summer and we will definitely go back so far. It is a favorite Texas state park.
Thank you so much! I appreciate y’all watching!!
Awesome video. I live in Houston, and I am now thinking about making a trip up here to tent camp. Any idea if a small inverter generator can be used at one of the tent sites?
Unfortunately, Texas State parks do not allow the use of Generators of any kind. Thanks for watching!👍😎
Great video…another drawback is that the Austin airport is close by too.
Great video my friend. And it was really really great spending time shooting the breeze with you today. You're one of the nicest people I've met in a long time. Take care brother! And thanks for the tips and advice! "I'll See you at the campsite" again one day!
Thank y’all for watching the video last night! I feel the same way, y’all are really nice, down to earth folks! I enjoyed meeting you both and being able to talk about camping! I truly enjoy getting out there and I’m always glad to help anyway that I can. You have a great camper set up and I know it will serve you well with your channel! Thanks again for the gift, that was very nice! If y’all are ever in the area, let me know and we’ll meet up.
Agreed with a great park. Been there. Thanks for another awesome video.
Thank you for watching!👍😎
This was super helpful thank you for showing those sites! I have been to this park before, but don't have a favorite site yet. excited to check those out on my next trip :)
Dinosaur valley is a super popular and favorite Texas state park in my opinion lol. I hope you have a fun trip out there and safe travels! 👍😎
Were you driving down Hwy 294 through Slocum, Tx last Sunday? We were pulling out of church and I saw a white truck pulling a GeoPro. Wondered if it was you!
It wasn’t us lol😂 we were in Austin at McKinney falls state park. Thanks for watching!👍😎
