Bass Fishing Books

One of the nice things about Texas camping is that you can go virtually any time of year. Since winter weather is normally pretty mild this allows you to care for a few extra camping trips while your friends up north are Hunker down trying to keep warm. Again this year of more than 70 state parks, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department waiving fishing license requirements for families as part of their family Fishing Celebration. This ongoing promotion has really been nice for families and aims to encourage more to come out and enjoy fishing. So on your next camping trip, be sure and take along your fishing gear and enjoy some fun times fishing with your kids.

There are many great campsites in Texas. In fact, just counting state parks there are over 70 parks to choose from.This short article briefly describes some of the best camping sites in North Texas. Each of these campsites are just a short drive from Dallas / Ft. Worth area and provide great fun for you, your family and friends.

Bonham State Park – A 261 acre park located in Fannin County, just over one hour northeast of Dallas. The park includes a 65 hectare artificial lake, rolling prairies, and woodlands. Close Lake is a wonderful playground for children, and a large grassy area for throwing frisbees or playing ball. It also has a good swimming area.

Texas is blessed with many nice camping areas. I have mentioned a few here, but there are many more around the state. All the parks listed here are only a short drive from Dallas / Ft. Worth.
