Hi Shirley,
We missed camping last year so we are definitely in.That's Ethan's favorite
camp ground. If there is a possibility of us getting the site with the hammock
trees we'll take it! I can Paypal you or pay you that weekend.
Let me know

I just spoke with mission Tejas park. I have one RV site that can fit 3-4
buses. It has water and electric. I have two primitive sites, water only. Each
can fit 3 buses. The group site is available for $20/night and they say it can
fit 4-5 buses on group site. With the group site we could fit 13-14 buses.
Currently, dan, rusty, cordial and myself are booked on sites. I will book the
group site today.
