Seminole Canyon State Park and Historic Site, TX

Stay Date:  December 2006
Our Rating:  GOOD – 7
Texas has great state parks, and this is no exception.  High on the rolling hills overlooking the Rio Grande and far from any city, this park has a great museum and interesting history (did you know Seminole Indians lived out here?)  The roads and sites were good gravel/dirt and the site was level, with a 30A hookup and water.  Nice ramada to provide shade on the generally large back-in sites.  No cable, broadcast TV, Verizon cell or Aircard out here, just satellite TV.  Great hiking trails, although the ones down to the Indian caves were very steep and long.  A bit windy, but this is West Texas, get used to it.  $17/night + $5/day entrance fee if you don’t have the annual pass.  Seminole Canyon State Park and Historic Site

Greentree Village North Travel Park, San Antonio TX

Stay Date:  November 2006
Our Rating:  Good –6
This is a place with good and bad.  The good:  close to San Antonio attractions, fairly large, shady, and level pull-thru sites, with a decent monthly rate ($450 includes electric).  The bad:  don’t be fooled by the website pictures, the area that for non-permanents is not very scenic, and the speed bumps are way too large.  Some sites are under huge, humming power lines, and next door is a state highway maintenance yard that is noisy.  Lots of long-term campers, but not too trashy.  Free cable TV, WiFi for a fee, small pool.  Verizon cell and Aircard worked well.  Tough to get in and out of park because of traffic and a nearby blind curve.  Greentree Village North Travel Park
