Check out Caprock Canyon State Park up yonder near Amarillo. Also, Tyler State Park in NE Texas. Some of the campsites are hooked up, but there are areas that are more primitive. This picture is in Caprock

Big Bend has been one of my favorites. Camping up in the mountains around there even in summer has cool evenings. Toledo Bend over on Louisiana / Texas border is not bad as well. I typically look up state and federal parks and look for primitive sites. Usually less crowded and more peaceful. Always nice to escape with a bag and tent strapped to bike for a weekend. I am planning on at least 6 outings myself as getaways. Typically limited by how far I can get in an afternoon ride because of short weekends.
Enchanted Rock out in the Hill Country has always had a special place in my heart since my days of undergrad at TAMU. Hopefully attached is a video. I can't find a post that shows me how to embed a video, so below is a link to the video.

Cadoo-LBJ grasslands in Decatur! Pretty good amount of gravel roads and several small lakes in the area for fishing/camping. Plus for me, its only 45-60 minutes away from DFW which makes it great for short weekend trips. As a matter of fact, I'm taking my S10 on its first trip out there this weekend! ::013::
