Wow... what a flashback. I grew up in Abilene and spent many a weekend at both the park and the lake in the late 1950's and early 60's. Yep, I'm now an old geezer. I remember going to the lake as a kid with my younger brother and my parents and catching bucket loads of crappie and bass. We would spend the day under a shade tree on the banks of the lake and just fish with a cane pole, a red and white float and a hook with a minnow attached. The park was wonderful then and looks just as great now. The pool was always cold on a hot summer day. Thanks for the great video.

Hi! Thanks for the video I was interested in going there this weekend and wanted to know if the campsites were spaced out enough for privacy or shaded by trees? Or what you would recommend for someone who wants some personal space
@campingtexan7721 3 ай бұрын
Yes, some campsites have space for privacy. For privacy factor that I can think of, if your a tent camper and like water only sites, then I would recommend any of the overflow camping area Sites but I liked 189,188, or 187. Another camping area/ loop I would recommend is Elm Point camping area : Sites 167 or 179.( Water only sites), Fossil Ridge Camping area (Water only sites): site 153( not as close to other sites and more private). If you’re either a Tent or a RV or etc. camper and you like the Full hookups then the more private campsites will be the outer sites of Bois D’Arc Ridge camping loops: specifically site 96 looks more private than most of the campsites in that loop. The other loop Armadillo hill was partially closed the last time we went. Also for Bois D’Arc Ridge, I’m pretty sure has trees covering the sites or area. I hope you have an awesome camping experience and find the most private campsite for you. Also, if you need to you can download a map from the Texas State Parks app and print it out or look on your phone to find a better site or the ones I have listed. I appreciate you watching!👍😎

I know it's been a couple years but I'm wondering if everyone drives from their campsite to the beach or walks or bikes? We're thinking about bringing the kids' scooters to get from the campsite to the beach. Not sure if that would work well.
@campingtexan7721 3 ай бұрын
Great question! Yes, you can drive out on the beach but your kids would have to ride their scooters on the pavement in the parking lot because of the transition between the pavement and the sand to the beach.

I video taped the dung beetles working their magic after my dogs. Very cool. The park attendants told me to leave it. With all that being said it's a nice park.

Aww, I’m glad y’all made it to ASP and enjoyed it so much! I commented on your Colorado City SP video that you should come here and you told me that you already had it on your calendar. (I think it was that video). I live 45 minutes from this park, it’s amazing and you did an awesome job with this video. In my opinion Fall is the absolute best time to visit, the trees change color and you feel like you’re in New England instead of West Texas. I discovered your channel not long ago and I’m really looking forward to going back and watching all your previous videos, you do an outstanding job of showcasing our wonderful state parks.
