Camping & State Parks
Texas' state parks are by far your best bet for camping. More than 60 of the 90 parks have
campgrounds with electrical and water hookups; many even have wi-fi. Some parks also,
or only, have walk- or hike-in tent sites - one has a canoe-in site. Booking ahead is always
recommended. Campground fees range from $10 to $25 per night, cabins cost anywhere
from $50 to $150. To make reservations online, log onto
