Trail Notes

What we noticed on the ground

On our annual winter RV trip we spent one night at Palmetto State Park and really loved the park. Rumors abound about a Bigfoot like creature that resides in the area around the park, so with high hopes of an encounter we set up camp in Palmetto State Park and set out to spot the elusive creature. IN this movie I highlight some of the wonderful things to see and do in Palmetto State Park

Mapped with our Texas State Parks stops.

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.
