I know there's plenty of fellow campers here on the TFF. Are there camping discussions in another section that I'm unaware of?

I haven't seen any and I've spent a big chunk of my life camping.

I want to get into canoe camping and figured I could find some info or discussions on the TFF but it doesn't like it. You ever camped out of a canoe?

Never out of a canoe but sure enjoyed camping on my pontoon!

I will be doing this eventually! But for now, I'm looking into river excursions like the Brazos below PK.

Forget a tent. Sleeping bag in a hammock.


Always thought they were hot. With a bivy cover for the sleeping bag. Unless it's a super bad storm. You'll be comfortable.

I guess i am thru with camping , gave all my stuff away .

I haven't seen any and I've spent a big chunk of my life on here.

Motel 6 is my way of roughing it now days. Use to have a hammock then hung some clear plastic above me for dew and rain but no more.

i have done that trip 35 plus times since 1978-
Last time was 3 years ago-
Started out in a canoe then to kayaks-
Obviously I loved that trip-

My idea of camping is a 4 star hotel mid May thru mid Oct.

Way too hot in Texas.

This is how we roll now.

VERY nice Rig!

Thanks steveiam! Went to the RV show just to "look" around and this one followed us home.

Lot of nice memories gonna be made with that rig, enjoy!

Does elk camp count? Every year for at least 7 days in a wall tent.




We also have a 1 acre lot up in the mountains we go put up the tent and stay on weekends.

That's camping!!

thats BA
do the big logs in the bottom picture
have any significant purpose?

I've done the stretch at a put in about five miles from the Rayburn Dam (911 stuff, so they weren't letting people close to the dam) on the Angelina and then on the Neches to Dam B. There's a cutoff slough off the Neches that will take you to Martin Dies for a take out there. It was marked by a leaning tree with paint on it years ago. Watch for alligators. There's some big ones there. There's also some primitive Corp of Engineer campsites along the way. https://www.swf-wc.usace.army.mil/townbluff/Recreation/Camping

I have done the Brazos below PK at least 10x
Buffalo River 5x

All in a canoe. Only 1 bad experience was when we were met with flash flooding on the Buffalo. Hard to predict the Buffalo as it is an undammed river so you just have to watch rain totals upriver from you.

I do not ever see much here in the form of camping adventures. Every once in a while you come across something in the kayak section for a trip on the Devil's.
