Tent camping in Texas - a whole other experience
from: Helping Us With CampingMake no mistake about it, Texas is huge. The Lone Star State is the largest of the 48 contiguous US states, taking up over 8% of the USA. It is three times the size of the UK and more than twice the size of Germany. Texas is huge.
In such a vast and geographically diverse state it's easy to find great places for tent camping. Whether it's for a weekend with the family or weeks in the wild, Texas has it all. From lonely natural reserves to beautiful beaches and numerous state parks and there's a place for every style of tent camping in Texas.
Of course, one short article can barely scratch the surface as far as describing the huge (there's that word again) variety of environments and opportunities for outdoor adventure while tent camping in Texas. Here's an overview of three of the most popular:
* Big Bend National Park
This park is home to some of the most beautiful and wild land in the USA. It covers 1,100 square miles of land, including desert, river and mountains soaring to almost 8,000 feet. Big Bend National Park is host to many outdoor activities. Hiking, backpacking, biking, fishing, rafting and of course camping, can all be enjoyed in Big Bend. For those who wish to tent camp, there are three main campgrounds, with a variety of sites within each of them. It is worth nothing that all the campsites are located at elevations of 1,800 feet or higher and they are extremely popular. It is advisable to make tent camping reservations early if you want to enjoy what Big Bend has to offer.
* Padre Island National Seashore
This is the longest undeveloped stretch of barrier island in the world, stretching from Corpus Christi to the Port Mansfield Cut. The Padre Island region is home to remarkably beautiful and remote seashore, not to mention the wide variety of animal and floral life that goes with it. It almost goes without saying that there is a great array of outdoor activities in this area, from bird and aquatic animal watching to biking, hiking and beachcombing.
There are several campsite choices along the Padre Island stretch and they range from extremely basic to more sophisticated facilities. Camping fees are dependent on the level of facilities, but all campers must get a permit before camping. Permits are provided free of charge.
For those who desire more of a "back to nature" tent camping experience, the campsites at North and South beaches and Yarborough Pass have no facilities. Other sites, such as Malaquite Beach Campground, do offer facilities.
* Hueco Tanks State Historic Site
Hueco Tanks is a fascinating area. Apart from offering various outdoor activies, including camping and rock climbing its main distinction is the ancient Native American rock paintings on many of its cave walls. There is a fee payable on entering the site but this entitles visitors to free historical and outdoor activity tours. The popularity of this site means that campers should make reservations at least two days in advance.
