Lake Texana

 Brackenridge park on Lake Texana was a new park for us. A beautiful setting amongst many Oak trees. The park is very large with over a hundred sites plus a lot of open area. Many good things to be said but alas some negative ones as well.

 We enjoyed our visit but was lucky in that very few other guest. Had it been a busy weekend the experience would have been quite different.

Lake Corpus Christi State Park

  May 8th found us traveling to Mathis and another stay at lake Corpus Christi state park. We like this little park and use it as a staging area for our visits to greater Rockport Fulton area. We have stayed at several commercial parks in Rockport area but they are too expensive and do not provide the setting that we seek.

 If we are in the area then a sure bet is to find us at Paradise key for lunch. Link to more info Never a bad meal, great ambiance.

 We also like to frequent a small joint in Mathis called Vans. A dive sort of place but good food and service. Vans

 Our campsite, #31, was a little tight but provided a lot of privacy. The lake is very low and the fishing not so good on this trip. Last trip I caught 36 white bass, this trip only one.

 None the less we enjoyed our stay. Tomorrow we are off to a new to us campground. We have made 4 prior reservations only to have to cancel. Looks like this time we are going to make it.
