Any ideas on when and where to camp in November in the DFW area?

Been a long time but why not try Amen G Carter down by Bowie?

I don't camp in the DFW area in November, but I do go to the CASI international chili cook-off in Terlingua the first weekend of November. It is warm during the day & cool at night! :lol:

Thanks everyone for your sugestions.


Dave, Tammy & I are leaning towards reserving a screened shelter at LWSP. They will let us park our TD's at the shelter :thumbsup: which could be handy if the weather turns bad. The weekend after Thanksgiving is best for us.

The website shows 18 shelters available right now but I suspect they will start filling up soon.

Let me know what you think.

We have reserved two shelters at Lake Whitney SP for us & our son for 11-26 & 11-27. This is Fri. & Sat. after Thanksgiving.

We can park our TD's at the shelters. The shelters are $24 per night and they have water & elect. Come join us if you can.

I was told at the first ITG that if you have 3 tears it's a gathering. :D

Someone at LCG told me that there was a new reservation site for Texas and it sucked. They were telling the truth.

I did check just now and there were 6 shelter sites available still. What is a shelter though? Anyone have a pic? I also see three sections with shelters.

I would like to go!

Thomas, the shelters are 12'x12' buildings with a solid wood wall about half way up. The rest of the wall is screened with wood louvers for privacy. There is a picnic table in each shelter. If the weather gets cold, windy or rainy we each have place to get out of the elements. One loop at the park has about 6 or 7 shelters on it which would be good for us. Hope you can join us.


So far we have us, our son & his TD and Dave & Cindy
