Cooper lake State Park trip

[starleen2]

Well this weekend we decided to head out camping. We knew that in August – in Texas – that camping is 100+ degree weather is a given. Since the rest of August and part of September weekends are already spoken for, this seemed like a good opportunity for a trip.

We ended up at Cooper Lake State park. The park is divided into tow units. We stayed at the South Sulpher unit.

Cooper lake State park is located just north of Sulpher Spring TX on I-30. The park was sparsely populated (we think due to the heat), but well kept. We enjoyed the trails (early morning) and frequent swims at the beach area to cool off.

Here’s a few picts for ya


The ladies say – It’s hot


No breeze – so we brought our own with the fan



Early morning breakfast courtesy of Coleman – see I can cook!


We found some interesting blooms and creatures




And this little guy stopped by to get a drink from the Air conditioner condensate that dripped and pooled on the concrete



The park is a nice little gem just a few hours drive from DFW – not too crowded- yet -cause it’s still a bit secluded. Well worth the trip

You are braver than I! I just remembered what I wanted at the store.... A mister to go in front of the fan......no not you, one that gives off water to cool you...

Crap! Kim and I were in both Greenville and Commerce today, If I had known you guys were around I would have driven the extra 20 miles.

Sounds like a nice park and I like the location, just far away that you've felt you've gone somewhere, but you can get there in a few hours.

You sir are a brave man camping in August, I am hoping it cools down more before Loyd Park in two weeks!
