Camping in Texas

any recommendations for something north of Houston ? Pretty new to area and need to get out of the city with my son

 

There are a lot of cool hiking/ camping areas out side of Austin. There is also Tyler State Park which is kinda far though.

 

Eisenhower State Park has some great campsites, but that's a haul from Houston.

 

Thanks for the recommendations, went to Huntsville State Park. Got a campsite right next to the lake, fishing dock ~100 yards away. Pretty busy though even for a state park.

 

Sam Houston National Forest. Look up one of the many trailhead and walk til your tired, you can camp anywhere 100 feet from the main trail

 

Another vote for Sam Houston

 

I tried that, but a lot of the trees are pretty close together, making it really tough to fit the truck through.
