2023 RV/Camping Thread

On another note- this Blackstone wanna be does not work worth a filp with a side wind. Had to finish burgers inside.

Quick laugh- if you park your trailer on the beachside slot (I was second in but first slotter no-showed) you get to enjoy the all day festivities of cars and trucks getting pulled out of the thick stuff- that the lack of rain has made durn near impassable.

We parked ours after an early June trip, and I'm glad we did. We weren't going anywhere for a while after living in it for 300 days anyway. Choke Canyon SP in early November to get back at it. A trip to Pedernales Falls SP in July of 2022 started our new adventure as that is when we listed our house and all showings happened while camping. It was dry as a bone then too. Hardly a trickle at the falls and people walking all over the rocks there. Great park. I hope to see the falls falling one time.

By the time we made it there we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves . Heat and drought are/were terrible.

back to Surfside (for a moment) - wholly tarballs- someone’s had a spill they got away with. Crazy amount of tar /oil on the beach and now on our feet.

Double post oops

I must warn- not sure if it’s a Surfside thing or a this RV park thing- but the tap water here has a heck of a salty taste to it.
The park recommends bringing your own water for drinking and such.

we did femfo last year and it was nice but will not go back.

we like bluewater at surfside and we’re there 2 weeks ago. Where is this beach front park you stayed?

It feels about a mile and a half or so to the east / left after you come over the big bridge on 322.
Here’s what it looks like from the beach side.

Recently went to Camp Fimfo on the Guadalupe- way over priced and over crowded for what it is . Ryan Bingham concert was cool though.



then to Blanco state park- full hook ups were nice but water not flowing over falls was a bit of a buzz kill

Then it was Perdenales state park, once again the drought is hitting it hard. Deer in camp was cool.


This weekend it’s Beachfront Rv , Surfside, Tx. We’ve stayed here several times in the past- the attached Restaurant and live bands on the weekends makes it nice.

FIMFO was great last year, we went back in July and it's way too crowded. They must have built another 150 cabins, and that many more under construction. Unless they put in another pool and stuff up top with the cabins, I won't go back.

The cabins attract a different element as well, that trash up the place.

Sorry so many post, but figuring out these photos off the phone makes it challenging for this 50+er.

Perdenales state park-
no full hook ups- but they say they’re upgrading the sites to add more . Maybe camp wide ?

This poor place was dry as all get out. I felt sorry for the camp deer walking around.

[DaveC]

Blanco State park- full hook ups, but the 30 amp spot we had left us wishing for the other 20.

[DaveC]

Camp Fimfo spot- waaaaaayyyy away from any water- better bring or reserve a golf cart for this place .
Did I mention $536 for 3 nights

We made it to Concan yesterday and will be camping on the Frio till Tuesday. We pack up Tuesday and will go to Port Aransas for some beach time and fishing. We will be in the camper for 9 days, this will be our longest camping trip so far.
