Howdy from the state of Texas!
I wanted to take a minute to say howdy and thank you for the opportunity of participating in the MOC!
We have owned our 2007 Montana Mountaineer 344RET for almost four years and travel with our three cats (Rosie, Ginger and Jack), and our two daughters (when college or work allows).
My bride, Bev, and myself have been camping all our lives and enjoy the scenery that makes up this great country. Though we are still working, we manage to camp an average of 60 days/year.
In addition to camping, we enjoy reading, horseback riding, astronomy, and computers; I am currently wagon master for our Good Sam Club chapter, the Garland Sams.
Thanks,
Kyle

Welcome to the MOC! Great folks here with a lot of good ideas and experience.
BTW, what would you say the 2 best camping spots are in Texas, why and at what time of year? We would like to visit Texas this spring in our 3150RL.

Choke Canyon State Park ( http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/f.../choke_canyon/), in south Texas, is very nice in the spring and fall seasons. It is a good area for bird watchers in the spring time, close to the King Ranch (great tours), only 60 miles from Padre Island and Corpus Christi, and San Antonio (the Alamo) is oly 70 miles to the northwest. Camp sites in the park are $20/night for water & electric, plus $2/person daily entrance fee.
In the DFW metroplex area, we would suggest The Vineyards campground which is managed by the city of Grapevine. It is a little higher priced ($32-$35/night) than some of the state and COE campgrounds in the area, but it has free WiFi, full hookups, lake access (great fishing), and has excellent scenery considering you are in town (check out their website http://www.vineyardscampground.com). The campground makes a great base camp to tour the area and is only 30 miles from downtown Dallas or 35 miles from downtown Fort Worth). The only negative to the Vineyards is that it is on an airport flight path, but that has never bothered us. It is a great place anytime of the year, but from May till September you will need to make reservations 2 to 3 months in advance as it is very popular.
