We were blown away by the McDonalds Observatory. We've never actually stayed at Fort Davis, but it's on our short list. If you are that far west, check out Balmorhea if it's open. That is where you can scuba dive in the desert in a spring fed pool that is perfectly clear and up to 25' deep.

You ladies should come to Bloy’s Campmeeting (yes, they spell it as a compound word) It’s just outside of Fort Davis and it’s an awesome experience. It’s an old cowboy camp gospel meeting. On Thursday night of campmeeting week, we attend a star party at the McDonald Observatory! Always an incredible experience! Happens in the first week or so of august. If you’re interested, I can help you get in touch with the RV camp ground to secure a site. All meals, water, and electricity are provided, an offering/donation to the Bloy’s Campmeeting Association is appreciated! You will not regret it!

Garner State Park is nice in the off season. I've been there in November when there was only one other camper there.

Of the parks we’ve stayed in, Palo Duro has to be number one. Caprock Canyons is great also. After those I would put South Llano River. Daingerfield is another one we liked along with Tyler. Davis Mountains is scenic (went through a terrible hailstorm while camped there!) and great for seeing Fort Davis (pet friendly park). Although small, Mother Neff has a pretty nice campground. We’ve stayed at others but those are the ones that stand out to me. There’s many others we have yet to visit and I’m sure some will become favorites. Thanks for sharing your favorite places. 😃

Did you happen to go to the MacDonald Observatory while you were at Fort Davis? That is a wonderful place. We highly recommend the Star Party, a night time viewing of stars and planets.

It was an easy day and an early stop so we made our way over Palo Duro for some exploring. What a beautiful place with rich history. Loved the way you drive down into the canyon instead of viewing from up top. Highly recommend.

We love our state parks. No matter where you live in Texas, there is a state park not too far away. East TX parks are pine tree covered bits of paradise. Anything from about Lake Brownwood west, has fewer trees, but unless you are in far West Texas you will have some trees. Lots of parks have lakes where you do not need a fishing license to fish if you are on a pier or on land in the state park. If you have questions, please ask. Welcome to the Lone Star State!
