    Wish we could! Have to wait for April 1st for our TD!!

    Your destination looks north of Round Rock...we camped there with our tent about 13 years ago and I remember we ate at a great little cafe!

    Have a terrific inaugural trip! Happy trails!! :)

    OK, here is a brief review of the park...sorry did not get that many pictures but did get some video.

    Overall, park is clean and staff is friendly. The campground hosts made regular passes through the grounds to ensure things were going smoothly.

    Bathrooms were clean (not spotless, but not smelly either). Bathrooms also had a couple of shower stalls with hot water. However, the bathroom closest to us was closed as they were replacing the septic tank. We had to walk to the upper restroom so it took a little longer than you might want.

    Lot's of big RVs, 5th wheels, etc. but folks were friendly. It was mostly retired folks but there were some young families and even a few tent campers.

    Water at the lake was really low but even so, it is still a huge lake.

    Sites were paved with both electricity and water. Some had a lot of tree cover while others had very little to no trees. Each site had a designated fire ring and separate BBQ stand. Sites also had a covered picnic table. No recreation area that I could find (basket ball courts, volleyball, playground, etc.).

    They did have a dump station on site right as you exit.

    It was close to grocery stores, etc. in case you needed anything yet you still felt like you were away from the city.
