Found a very nice campground. Clean, well kept and everything I like to have for a quiet break from Boondocking. Bellah Mine COE near De Queen Arkansas.

My allergies are back due to the abundance of pine trees.

Spent 6 days here. Calm lake, quiet woods, nice people.

Day 566. My spot.

141 I-45, Huntsville, TX 77340, USA

Drove through but didn’t see any camping signs. I did see a ranger station for it but it was after 5. I’ll check it out online. Maybe get there later.

Tonight I’m at the Walmart in Huntsville, TX. Headed into the woods tomorrow. Sam Houston NF.

Yesterday I finished the hammock rack I planned. Now I won’t need to find trees, which will be more difficult when I get to Arizona in a few weeks.

I’ve decided to continue on to Corpus Christi area since it will be warmer and plenty of cheap or free camping. Padre Island seashore Park has free right on the Gulf and water/electric sites nearby for as little as $4 per night.

Malaquite Campground, 20420 Park Rd 22, Corpus Christi, TX 78418, USA

Staying another 7 days. Weather better...mostly. Storm stirred up the Gulf.
