Who Went Camping at South Llano River State Park

So this last weekend, the extended family and I went camping at South Llano River State Park.  It was pretty cold in the mornings, down to 36 on Saturday morning and 42 or so on Sunday morning, but the days warmed up very quickly.

I got reservations for 4 sites back in March.

Coffeegoddess had to work Friday, but I took the day off so I could get to the campground early and claim our 4 spots. I arrived at the campsite around 3:00, thinking that would be early enough. I was horrified to find there were only my 4 sites remaining unoccupied in the park! They were all adjacent though, near the front of the park.  In fact, if I had arrived earlier I might very well have chosen these 4 spots anyway.  Nearly perfect for our group.

After checking in and claiming my spots, I set up my camp, having a tent behind the picnik table pavilion, and an easy up where we can eat/hang out without the annoyance of insects.





Kitchen area.  The table has a nice extension running past the seating boards, presumably intended for handicapped access.  But, it makes a great location for the camp stoves.



Coffeegoddess and Corey arrived around 6 PM




 
 
 
My brother and his family arrived around 7:00 pm, with a guest.  Their site did not have a pavilion over the table, but they too brought a screened shelter, which they put over the table.

Coffeegoddess and I wandered around the park on Saturday and Sunday.  Sometimes we rested lol.
