From the sounds of it you enjoy roughing it like myself. Unfortunately, I would not depend on any state park in Texas for that type of activity. I love the state parks here, but just saying. I would recommend visiting Sam Houston National Forest, Davy Crockett National Forest, Angelina National Forest, etc... Also look in to the 100 plus mile Lone Star Trail (LST) in the Sam Houston National Forest. A few years back my best bud and I hiked the entire LST and did nothing but back country camping. (These may be affected by the government shutdown however.) Good luck!
No. The backpacking trails and camping areas are set by the park. Make sure to call ahead. The backpacking trails were closed last time I visited.
Backpacking is allowed. You can customize your backpacking experience to end at either of the two designated primitive campsite areas. This is one of our favorite parks to use as a primer for our Grand Canyon trips. Get out there and enjoy!! https://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/state-parks/colorado-bend/fees-facilities/campsites
No. You can only camp at designated sites. Most of the trails are great with a lot of different terrain. We weren't too impressed with the campsites. Nonetheless a great park.
No, you have to call in advance to reserve a site
Primitive camping is allowed only at designated sites. There are hike in sites.
Went with scout troop. We used the primitive campsites only.
I'm not sure. Call the ranger office, or check the website. I know they have designated camping spots.
Thanks! Your answer is awaiting moderation.
Is there a place to park your car on the walk-in camp sites? We are planning on sleeping in the car.
