U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Fort Worth District)
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Fort Worth District announced on Friday that 50-amp campsites, which are currently $28 per night, will increase to $30 per night year-round.
The 30-amp tent sites located in Rocky Creek Park will now be $26 per night year-round, while primitive sites in Yegua Creek Park will remain at $20 per night year-round.
There will no longer be a price reduction during the winter season, between October 1st and February 28th.
Reservations made before April 1st will not be impacted by the price increase.
Camping fees at Lake Somerville were last increased in 2014.
Campsite reservations can be made at www.recreation.gov.
Lake visitors are encouraged to wear a life jacket any time they are in or near the water.
More money, but they sure don’t make improvement’s to the parks.
And NO Day Use allowed for lowly local residents!!!
Perhaps we can catch a quick glimpse of the water if we’re very lucky as we drive by.
These parks were open for day-use picnics, walks, birdwatching, etc. since they were created by the Army Corps of Engineers! (Which took locals’ land via eminent domain). Now only (mostly rich out of town) RVers & campers can access. It’s a horrible way to treat local residents. I so wish our Representatives gave 2 toots, but they do not. To my knowledge none of them stood up for us against this policy.
Maybe with the added money they can build a new playground for the kids, since they inexplicably removed them!
Rip-Off
Will they still be honoring the America the Beautiful Lifetime Senior Pass or they get rid of that too?
