Village Creek State Park, 6/17/14 - 6/20/14

14. Scampsite number 21 in this lush little park.   This is a more recent acquisition for Texas; it opened in the 1990's.  Notable features: benches around all fire rings, big, shady campsites,  large pentagonal tent pads, 1 lovely cabin (former owner's weekend home), good walking trails, and a swimming hole.  It was really hot in the afternoons, so we went into Lumberton for air-conditioned antiquing and lunches.  We also visited Big Thicket National Preserve and hiked a couple of trails there too.  The trail system at Big Thicket is huge and we will be visiting there again because we didn't feel that we did it justice.  Village Creek has 25 electric sites and 16 in the Creekside Walk-In area.
