Day use mainly, 91 acres, primitive camping with no amenities, but open to Scout camping.

Not a lot of traffic there yet. They've only been open for a month or so.

Where did y'all camp? Our last campout there we stayed in the primitive area off of one of the loop trails. Probably pretty soggy right now with little veg to soak in the rains.

Our Scout Troop spent some time out there a couple weekends ago, filling in burned out stump holes and cleaning up trash. Every little bit helps. Here are a couple links: http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/findadest/parks/bastrop/fire/ http://www.friendsoflostpines.org/ The storms which rolled through Texas recently hammered Bastrop State Park again. The pictures of Park Road 1A (in the friends of lost pines link) shows how fragile the park is right now. (Note: This is the road along which we were working) Pretty amazing. Dave
