From their website Camp Tonkawa looks a little better and cheaper. A 17 mile cruise Saturday AM would be okay. - as long as I don't have to squeeze into Denis' bus this time. The good thing about camping at Sammie's is the midnight requistion party we could have in his barn! I'm okay with either and will pitch in on a porta potty if we decide on the farm.

I made the decision last year about where we camped, it was ok but the bathrooms sucked. We have also stayed at Weches State park, they had park ninjas. So where does the TCB want to camp? This is our choices so far: Piney Woods RV Park, Camp Tonkawa, or just drive up early Saturday morning for the show then stay at Sammie's farm on Saturday night. Or maybe stay at Sammie's on Friday & Saturday night? It's free and he has running water & electricity. (Denis promises to rent a room for us to shower!) I can call Piney Woods RV or Camp Tomkawa to make the reservations. Just please help me make the decision on where to camp.

Paradise was no paradise. Not very pleasing, rates much too high for what you get, in fact I don't think I would want to stay there if it were free. Good points are that it does have a small lake and is relatively close to the show site (about 2 miles.) There is another rv park in Nac that is about 4 miles from the show site that is just open field with hookups that is along side the service rd on NW loop Piney woods RV park #936-560-1287. No real asthetics, just flat ground with no trees but is within walking distance of a good restaurant. I did drive up to Camp Tonkawa and take a look around since it had been awhile since I had been there. Looks pretty nice, rolling terrain with lots of trees and they do have facilities like showers bath etc. Disadvantage is that it is about 17 miles from the show site and not near anything. Did not investigate the one you found on Rayburn because it is a long way away (maybe as much as 50 miles but would have to map it to be sure.) And of course there is Mission Tejas State park where you guys camped 2 years ago. Another possibikity is my farm which is about 6 miles out of town and about 8 miles from the show site. Would make a good place to camp. Water and electricity are available but we would have to rent a port a potty for those who do not like to use trees and bushes. It's about 2 miles from a restaurant and stores. Big advantage is that it's free. Disadvantage is that you might have to watch where you step since there are cattle on the place. If you and Dan want to take a day and come to Nac we can go look at all of the possibilities. Or if you want more info out of me just let me know. Personally I think Murray would look just fine camping out at the farm known affectionally as "the old volks home." Katrina Martin <k.d.martin@xxxxxxx> wrote: Hey , How did it go? Was it that bad? You never did comment about the paradise lake resort. Come on, was it like a resort in any way?
