July is a bustling time at the preserve. Wells recommends making reservations early, especially if you want to rent a cabin or trailer. And, don t miss the Lake Texoma Reunion Party on July 28. Past and current regulars and guests combine forces against staff members in a title softball match, and the pool party is a roaring good time. Halloween festivities at the park are also a real treat.
Kids enjoy painting pumpkins and exploring the spooky wonders of a haunted barn.
Burleigh added that these themed weekends are worth all the effort because they create a festive atmosphere that charms campers. In the past fifteen years, I ve seen kids grow up here and watched parents become grandparents, bringing in the next generation, she said. It s a real delight. If you d rather strike out on your own, consider a trek on a Trotter s Trail, which encircles the preserve. As you hike, the natural beauty of the North Texas region unfolds before you.
