Lake Possum Kingdom Tx

[Jetfixer]

Having camped at Lake Possum Kingdom Tx 3 times already this year, I thought I should write a review. The Brazos River Authority (BRA) has 8 camping areas on the lake and 6 of them are free camping year round and the other two are free from mid Sept to mid May. My preference is BRA Area #1, Scenic Cove. It's primitive with two bathrooms and well mantained. It has full shade in many of the sites and all sites have a covered shelter with a picnic table. It also has an excellent swimming area. It's less than a mile to the grocery store too, so there's no need to haul many supplies there. If you're a cyclist, the hike and bike trail's main trailhead starts in Scenic Cove. Last trip I took my truck and mountain bike and rode the trails. It's a very technical and challenging trail for even the best cyclists. Nothing better than jumping in the lake after a hard ride! If you're in the north central Tx area, this place is a must do.

Here's a link to the BRA site.

Nice, thanks!... Living in Dallas I tend to forget about some of the DFW area camping areas.

Give it a try, Greybeard! I've stayed at the state park too and it doesn't hold a candle to the Scenic Cove BRA park. There's a really good Mexican restaurant right down the street from it too!
