Weches, TX
December 28-29, 2010
This park is located in the Davy Crockett National Forest. It is pretty small compared to other state parks (only 15 RV sites). There were a lot ofhunters using this park. I think we were the only family there. The park is heavily wooded and has several pull through sites. However, the sites were not very level and the asphalt pads were in bad shape. We did have difficulty pulling in to a couple of the spots.
The park has a commerative representation of Mission San Francisco de los Tejas. The first Spanish mission in Texas. There is also an old log cabin. The Rice family log cabin was built in 1828 and is one of the oldest structures in the area. It was a stopover for travelers going across Texas on the old San Antonio road.
The park had some hiking trails that were well marked and a small pond. It also has a small playground.
Pros
- On the way to Nacogdoches.
- Close to other attractions. (Caddo Burial Grounds, Texas Railroad).
- Interesting mission and log cabin.
- Lots of shade.
Cons
- Small park with small pull thru sites that needed repair.
- Out in the middle of nowhere. Closest store was 22 miles away.
- Lots of hunters.
