First Motocamping Trip of 2021 | Mission Tejas State Park | 6-7 March 2021

[Lee]

We no longer camp but I would guess we have camped more nights than moteled on trips.
It seemed most campgrounds had sites fairly close to each other.
We would usually ride through the grounds before going to the office and request a site or area to get a decent site and try not to be too close to others.
It helped that most of our trips were spring or fall.

Before Covid especially, that was possible as the campgrounds were not as crowded. Now most are pre-booked so that most of the sites other than primitive sites would be reserved. But riding around even after reserving a particular site, is a good idea. You never know when a better site would become free. Problem with primitive sites is that it is usually a hike in dragging all your gear, since the parking is not next to the tent at the site.

I forgot most places have been full this last year.
The small state park near our home was full every weekend last year. Tent and RV sites.
They said that had never happened in the past.
