We live in Bossier City, LA. We have had our TM under a year, but our family situation has prevented us from camping as much as we would like this year. In an effort to maximize all of our enjoyment of the outdoors, please add to this thread with your favorite campgrounds in the Southeast US. We can all learn from eachother's great experiences.

Here are some of our favorites:
1. Tyler State Park, TX: Sites overlook a good sized lake. Lots of trees and playground for the kids. "Loaner" fishing gear, canoes, kayaks, etc. were free. No need for a permit to fish in TX State Parks. Must try Stanley's BBQ in Tyler. The zoo is also nice with a very cool dining area overlooking the African savannah exhibits... eat your hot dog while watching giraffes, elephants, zebras, etc.

2. Beaver's Bend State Park, OK: Sites along the river. Blue-ribbon trout fishery with both catch-and-release and catch-and-keep areas. Good hikes nearby with beautiful scenery.

3. Galveston Island State Park, TX: I recommend the camping area that's closer to the back bay. Fewer people, quiet, and away from the main road. It's still easy to get to the fantastic beach and other hiking. NOTE: No shade anywhere on the island.

4. TX State Railroad Rusk Depot, Rusk, TX: Went for my son's birthday. They have passenger sightseeing trains to ride. Kind of expensive, but we loved it! We went for the train ride... the campground was only ok... Bathrooms, especially, could have used some TLC. They had a splash pad and playground for the kids.
