Hi, I would really like to take a vacation this year with my family, but due to recent economic struggles.. it’s doesn’t seem possible… Anyone know where we could go? Anything but theme parks cause my oldest daughter has cerebral palsy, and I don’t want the stress.
The State of Texas has established tourist bureaus in some of the major Texas cities and near the entry point into the state along major highways. Part of the free information available includes brochures on state and national parks, including data regarding public campsites. They also have brochures on the various "Texas trails" (interesting and scenic journeys along good but lesser traveled roads). If you need data regarding private campgrounds, you might check with AAA or Kampgrounds of America or similar websites. Most campgrounds and RV parks are also listed in the yellow pages or are registered on line.
You might also check with any well-stocked Texas library for back issues of Texas Highways magazine to locate additional attractions that may interest you. Texas Monthly magazine also sometimes has good articles and pictures (see the October 2006 issue for their favorite hiking trails, for example). Happy camping!!!

I’d like to mount a campaign to encourage people not to go anywhere. Travel has become so expensive and unpleasant that it’s hard to understand why people don’t stay home.
Why are we crowding our highways and airports to get someplace else? Newspapers and magazines are filled with ads trying to get us to travel. They want us to go somewhere – anywhere but home.
