Camping and the outdoor program is an important aspect of Scouting. Scouting strives to build character, citizenship, and fitness. When scouts go camping, this growth just seems to follow. Patrol and troop camping are models and a testing ground for life in society where each scout learns to accept responsibility and to exercise good judgment. Camping contributes to the interaction among fellow scouts in positive and supportive ways since Scouts who camp will soon come face to face with practical applications of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Cheerfulness, trustworthiness, courtesy, helpfulness, and all the central virtues of Scouting that are as necessary in camp as in society. Life in the open is a natural teacher of these essential survival skills. Thus, we promote camping and camping becomes a natural way of achieving the aims of Scouting. The skills and cooperation scouts learn through the outdoor program reinforce the basic ideals of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. The principles of Scouting are central to any kind of successful camping experience. The Order of the Arrow was founded in a Scout camp, Scout camping is it’s core requirement for membership with camping promotion it’s central service theme. Arrowmen encourage scouts to go camping. In camp Arrowmen maintain the best traditions and the highest spirit. It is with that spirit that the Arrowmen of Tonkawa Lodge 99 present this camping guide to the units of our Council as evidence of our service to Scouting. The purpose of this camping guide is to aid area units by communicating information concerning over 600 local area camps, state-wide public camping and hiking properties, regional scout camping properties, and national high adventure camping opportunities. This document has been, in general, structured in a table summary format depending on the type of outdoor experience desired. This is to aid the reader in finding quick reference to the type and location area of their desired outdoor experience. It is with high hopes that units find a use for this document and continue the long Scouting tradition of living in the out-of-doors. 3 Tonkawa Lodge 99 2005 Edition Capitol Area Council THE SCOUT LAW A Scout is TRUSTWORTHY.

I will keep my trash and garbage out of America’s waters, fields, woods and roadways. BE CAREFUL WITH FIRE – I will prevent wildfire. I will build my fire in a safe place and be sure it is out before I leave. BE CONSIDERATE IN THE OUTDOORS – I will treat public and private property with respect.

I will use sportsmanlike methods in all my outdoor activities. The Wilderness Pedge Through good camping and hiking practices, I pledge myself to preserve the beauty and splendor of America’s wilderness, primitive and backcountry areas, I commit myself to: • Set a personal example in following the Outdoor Code (see previous page); • Those I lead in the skills and attitudes needed to protect and preserve wilderness for future generations; • Assure that parties of which I am a part observe the hiking and camping standards that will “leave no trace” of our passing. 5 Tonkawa Lodge 99 2005 Edition Capitol Area Council Southern Region 2 Council Addresses Capitol Area Council 7540 Ed Bluestein Blvd 512-926-6363 www.bsacac.org Austin, TX 78723-5917 Fax 512-926-6870 Alamo Area Council 2226 N.W.

Due to the limited financial resources inherent with any non-profit organization, we also intended to give you as much information in as limited a number of pages as possible. So, this guide is mainly structured like an information spreadsheet. Each of the sections on “WHERE TO….” are presented in table format with mainly key pertinent information provided. The information provided is to give the reader enough information to know that the location will generally fit the needs of his or her unit. It is anticipated that once this guide has been utilized to narrow down the unit’s choices, the unit will then further inquire for more details. In all sections we have provided contact information so that this process is easier on the unit. Phone numbers, e-mail addresses, physical addresses, and any stated fees were, to the best of our knowledge, correct at the time of the final editing of this document. However, as we all know, most of this information can change at any time. Credits & Disclaimer Tonkawa Lodge would like to thank these organizations and individuals for their help in providing ideas and information to include in this camping guide: • The Lower Colorado River Authority and their many informative brochures; • The Texas Department of Transportation and their maps, booklets, and brochures; • The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and their maps, booklets, and brochures; • The American Hiking Society and their booklets and brochures; • Laurence Parent and his series of books on places to hike; • Joe “Big Foot” Connelly and Ken “The Stork” Patrick of the National Outdoor Leadership School for their suggestions, enthusiasm, and crazy ideas around the campfire; • The many Scouts and Scouters of Tonkawa Lodge who provided endless input and time; Disclaimer: The information put forth in this guide is just that, information.

Nichols and Andrew P. Goldbloom Under the Direction of James A. Deloney November, 1989 Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division Texas Parks and Wildlife Department 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, Texas 78744 (512) 389-4900 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Conducting a mail survey requires accuracy and timeliness in every single task. Each individualized survey had to be accounted for, both going out and coming back. Each mailing had to meet a strict deadline. The authors are indebted to all the people who worked on this project. The staff of the Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division, deserve special thanks. This dedicated crew signed letters, mailed, remailed, coded, and entered the data of a twenty-page questionnaire that was sent to over twenty-five thousand Texans with over twelve thousand returned completed. Many other Parks Division staff outside the branch volunteered to assist with stuffing and labeling thousands of envelopes as deadlines drew near. We thank the staff of the Information Services Section for their cooperation in providing individualized letters and labels for survey mailings. We also appreciate the dedication of the staff in the mailroom for processing up­ wards of seventy-five thousand pieces of mail. Lastly, we thank the staff in the print shop for their courteous assistance in reproducing the various documents. Although the above are gratefully acknowledged, they are absolved from any responsibility for any errors or omissions that may have occurred. ii TEXANS OUTDOORS: AN ANALYSIS OF 1985 PARTICIPATION IN OUTDOOR RECREATION ACTIVITIES TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ...........................................................................................................
