West Texas I-10

Since our last 2 TT's have rear living areas with large rear windows we have become more particular of campgrounds with respect to rear views. We don't want to look at fences or someone elses rear window. Does anyone out there have any suggestions of campgrounds between San Antonio and El Paso?

I camped at several of these parks when I was a Scoutmaster of our local Boy Scout Troop. There is no camping at Fort McKavett, they did allow our Boy Scout troop to spend the night in the old Calvary barracks and use the cowboy showers. The caverns are beautiful about a 2 mile hike and warm. Our scouts loved swimming in Lake Balmorhea. We did not stay at Davis Mountains State Park, we stay at the BSA Buffalo Trails Scout Ranch, but some of our scouts did go over for and evening tour and star watching to earn there merit badges

We second both South Llano and Davis Mtns. SPs. We have enjoyed both while snowboarding in Texas. Great birdwatching at blinds at South Llano!

I just thought that you were snowboarding on the sand dunes of south Texas.
That about the speed that I’m capable of, slow and easy.

If you take 90 instead of I10, stop at Seminole Canyon:
