- We had a wonderful weekend at Possum Kingdom State Park! Its prominently situated on the shores of Possum Kingdom Lake near Mineral Wells, Texas. In this video, we tour the 4 main areas of the park and show some highlights of the lake! The park has a boat ramp, several swim areas, picnic pavilions, clean bathroom facilities, and a dump station. One of the best things about the state park is the lake that it sits on! Possum Kingdom is a spectacular lake that hosts an annual cliff diving competition from its high cliffs and is a wonderful place for recreational water sports and even scuba diving!!

Thanks another nice state park
Thank you for watching!
Great review thank you, we will have to explore ourselves.
Thank you! We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did!!
We’re headed to lake view site 26 on the 15th and 16th. Thank y’all for the video
Excellent! We hope you have as much fun at Possum Kingdom as we did! Thank you for watching!!
Beautiful lake. Enjoy your videos packed full of information on campsites and park attractions.
Good to see y'all out and look forward to more from Sunset Seekers 👍
This lake is gorgeous!
Thank you for the kind words and for watching! We are returning to Daisy State Park in October but unfortunately, the Art of RVing won't be with us this time!
*you and that 4k.....it does look awesome. What does that say about me? You need a bigger campsite. What? This video is professional level. Good Job. Mexican Food...lets do it again. Glad your using your drone, great footage*
Thanks for the encouragement brother! Very appreciated! If TH-cam would cut me some slack on the codec I could start filming in 1080 again! Believe me, I would rather film in 1080. I'm stoked about my new drone! We're up for T Blanco's again! Lets do it!
Thanks for the great video! We have a site reserved for 4th of July weekend, and your video has made us even more excited! "Heated negotiations" LOVE IT! I tell my husband, "If our marriage can survive backing in the camper, it can survive anything!
ROFL! Absolutely! Christy and I have grown a lot as a married couple over the years while backing in our 5th wheel but we still have our moments where it looks like divorce court is just around the corner! We hope you guys enjoy Possum Kingdom as much as we did! We hope you can get out and explore the lake while you are there also!! Thank you so much for watching!!
Thanks for a great look at one of my favorite places in Texas.
Happy Camping
Thanks for the kind words and for watching!!
Hi great video. just wondering if you had any problems getting a permit for your drone or if the rules were different two years ago. Thanks
First love the video!!! New subscriber just today with the notifications on!!!! We visited possum kingdom a month ago now and booked sites 104 and 105 we had 3 families with tents and those 2 sites had a lot of space as far as pitching tents and those two sites both had great access to the lake we took our kids down there and swam right off the campsites and there’s also enough room there to do a little fishing I caught 3 large mouth bass 1 stripper and 2 small mouth bass! We however did not rent a boat due to financial reasons we were trying to budget camp and succeeded very much so! Also we took the longest hiking trail on a Saturday morning and it was breathtakingly beautiful! Love yalls channel and I look forward to see your channel pop up in my notifications tab!!! BTW thank you for not having your music overly loud in the drone footage lol!
Gotta put this one on our list to visit after reading your comment and watching the video! That hike y'all did sounds like it was a good one!
Thank you for the kind words!! I was much more impressed with the tent camping sites on the Chaparral Trail loop than the RV sites! This is definitely a park that has better accommodations for tent campers in my opinion. It's a beautiful state park regardless though, and we enjoyed our stay. If you ever get a chance to venture out on the lake then we encourage you to do so! It's a shame to miss it! I've learned quite a bit in editing videos since I started this channel and I've made a concerted effort to keep the volume within reasonable limits. Some of my earlier videos did receive complaints about the volume. You live and learn. This is my first video with a drone and it was a challenge to no over do it with the drone footage! Also, thank you for subscribing! We are honored to have new subscribers like you!
You guys just make the best videos! So enjoyable and since we live in NTX many of the parks you visit and review we get a chance to review them before we try to visit and the reviews of the site numbers is very helpful. My wife has been after me for ages to do Possum Kingdom and we will be doing it soon after this video.
We are so honored and humbled that our videos resonate with you in that way! Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging words and thank you for watching!! Maybe we'll see you out there some day!
Omg your RV is gorgeous, the campsite is huge, the ones we have in Ireland are very small 😆, looks beautiful there,
Thank you for the kind words and for watching!! We love our home state of Texas! It really is an amazing place!
We’re about to do our first camping trip (in tent) in 30 YEARS at this state park, and since we’ve never been there this was very helpful in getting an idea of what to expect. We used to camp some when we were younger, but it’s been a long time so I’m a little nervous. I like the way you made it more about the park and not about you so much. Not that there’s anything wrong with you, but you know what I mean. 😁. Now on to your Palo Duro video for our next camping trip.
I am so happy that you found this video to be helpful! That puts a smile on my face and its the reason that I make these videos! My focus isn't to make a personal vacation video and hope that people want to re-live my vacation but I try to make something that is primarily informative. Possum Kingdom is a better park for tent campers than it is for RVer's. I hope that you can get a spot somewhere on the lakeside of the Chaparral Trail loop!
Very pretty! That Park has a fun name. Glad to know I'm not the only one that still struggles with backing in. haha! Nice shirt.
In spite of the funny name, we are confident that you would love this place! We recommend that you check it out! Thank you for watching!
@@SunsetSeekers you and the video sold us on adding it to our todo list!
@@AFKDays Outstanding! You'll have to tell us what you thought of it! We think you'll have a blast!
WOW, the intro on this was AMAZING. That really was some epic drone footage, and put with some amazing music. We already have a goal of staying at every State Park in Texas, but your video encouraged us to move this park up higher on the list. Great share.
Thank you very much! That is encouraging coming from someone with your talent! Possum Kingdom is a Texas state park that you don't want to miss! We would recommend venturing out onto the lake while you're there (if you can)--it is a beautiful lake!
@@SunsetSeekers I may look into heading there this summer. It would be fun to be able to rent a boat while we are there. I know our girls would love that for sure.
Heated negotiations lol~ been there done that! Great info on the park👍🏻. Looks like y’all had a fun time! Hugs 💕
We need to do T Blanco's again sometime soon!
Thanks for sharing. We've camp there a couple of times and you're correct about the small camp sites. We only had a 20ft camper at the time many years ago, we've since upgraded to a 25ft travel trailer. I enjoyed your drone footage too. One other thing at the time that we were there, the potable water was a bit sulfur like smell to it. It was recommended that we don't drink the water at camp, we brought our own.
LOL! We didn't drink the water! We always bring bottled water with us. Thank you so much for watching!!
Love the aerial shots!
Thank you!! I just got a new drone! I'm gonna try not to over-do it with the drone footage! LOL!
Can you include a link to the park below the videos?
How far is hells gate from the camping area by kayak
Wish we would've known this was so close to Fort Worth when we lived there for 4 years before moving to FL last year! Will have to go when we go back to visit our family next year. This campground looks beautiful and so does the lake! Is this heading out east on the 20?
This has become one of our favorite state parks in Texas! We would definitely recommend it! Yes, we went east on I 20. I don't remember the exact way that we got there but it seems like we went 16 north to 180 to 33. Thank you for watching!!
@@SunsetSeekers ok that isn't far. May hit it up on our way in.
Love PK, have several videos from there. We've stayed in cabins #2 and #4 and sites #100 and #101 as well as a couple of other spots but can't remember the site #'s. That drone footage looks great! If y'all get back over that way and go through Graham and like Mexican food, Mi Familia Méxican restaurant is really good. If you rather have bbq, might give Clayton BBQ a taste.
Enjoyed your video very much. Thanks for sharing!
P.S. What kind of drone did you get?
Did you enjoy the cabins or sites better?
@@Adventureswithbecky depending on the weather. The cabins are a lot more convenient for sure but also more expensive. The one room cabins are $75 a night but it has two beds and room for a blow-up mattress or a couple of cots. Has a indoor bathroom and kitchen with a small dining table. They have a fireplace but we never used it. If you enjoy being outside though and do not need electricity, site 100 & 101 are pretty nice and not to far from the showers/bathroom.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching! I believe Christy and I ate at both of the places that you mentioned in Graham. We stayed at the Wildcatter Ranch not far from Graham years ago before we had an RV. My drone is a DJI Mavic 2 Pro--it's awesome!!
@@DirtyShoesAdventures thank you for that info! Yes I honestly love camping more than being in cabins. Growing up living in San Diego we would head out to River and have no tents just set up cots outside and fall asleep under the stars. Best camping ever!
How long did it take you to hike to the top ridge 😀
It took less than 10 minutes to hike up to the overlook from our campsite. Beautiful view!!
Sweet drone footage! What kind of drone do you have? Planning on visiting this park soon. Looks like a great place to camp.
Don't miss this place! It is well worth a visit! I would definitely recommend exploring the lake while you are there, its beautful! I just got a DJI Mavic 2 Pro--it's awesome!!
Sunset Seekers That’s awesome and footage looks clean. I have a Phantom 3 and thinking about getting the Mavic Mini. We visited Lake Mineral Wells and wanted to check this place out. Definitely will be checking it out soon!
@@MrSTravelQuest Thank you! I am a drone newbie--this one is my first but I am very impressed with it!
Sunset Seekers Drones are fun and you can get different view points. I try to use mine as much as I can. Awesome video and thanks for sharing!
What is the length of your RV?
