Trail Notes

What we noticed on the ground

At the end of May 2019 Dude RV and crew load up Ms V and head down to the Big Thicket part of Texas and pay a visit to Mission Tejas State Park. Mission Tejas State Park is built on the site of the first Spanish Mission in the Texas territory and is full of history. Adjacent to the El Camino Real, One of the most important early trails across Texas. One of the smaller Texas State Parks, Mission Tejas State Park still has lots to offer. From RV camping to miles of hiking trails and plenty in between. WE really enjoyed our brief visit to Mission Tejas State Park and look forward to a return some day in the near future! Come along with as as we explore Mission Tejas State Park!

Campnab

Want the best campsite?

I do too.

I want the right site, on the right dates — not just whatever happens to be left when I make the reservation.

That's why I use Campnab.

I tell Campnab the campground, my dates, and the sites I'm looking for. If one of those sites opens up, Campnab lets me know.

Then it's up to me to grab it through the campground's reservation system.

Campnab doesn't book the campsite for me. It watches for the opening so I don't have to.

👉 Have Campnab watch for your campsite.
