Trail Notes
What we noticed on the ground
On our Nov 2017 RV trip we paid a visit to The Lost Maples State Natural Area. This is truly a unique place in the great state of Texas! Home of the Big Tooth Maple trees makes this a great park to visit in the fall when the trees are changing colors. Unfortunately our visit to Lost Maples State Park was highlighted by a gloomy overcast sky, chill winds and fog. This made for a fairly short visit to the Lost Maples State Natural area.

Campnab
Want the best campsite?
I do too.
I want the right site, on the right dates — not just whatever happens to be left when I make the reservation.
That's why I use Campnab.
I tell Campnab the campground, my dates, and the sites I'm looking for. If one of those sites opens up, Campnab lets me know.
Then it's up to me to grab it through the campground's reservation system.
Campnab doesn't book the campsite for me. It watches for the opening so I don't have to.
👉 Have Campnab watch for your campsite.
Affiliate link: Dude RV may earn a commission if you use this Campnab link. Campnab is optional cancellation watch, not the park reservation system, not an official park service, and not a guarantee that a site will open.
Starlink
Want to stay connected on the road?
So do I.
Dude RV travels, camps, uploads, and runs Factory from the road. Starlink keeps us connected.
I am not claiming it works at this campground. Coverage and performance vary.
Referral link: if you order Starlink through this Dude RV link, Dude RV may receive Starlink service credit that helps pay the internet bill. That is not a cash commission. Always check Starlink availability, coverage, plans, and pricing. This does not claim Starlink coverage, speed, pricing, or performance at this place.
