December 2, 2015 - Forest visitors can now camp up to 28 days at selected recreation areas in the National Forests and Grasslands in Texas.
Forest Supervisor Mark Van Every said he approved the change because for many who camp, the 14-day limit was wasn’t long enough.
“We heard loud and clear from our forest visitors they wanted to spend more than two weeks enjoying all the National Forests in Texas have to offer,” he said. “This will be a great benefit to our winter Texans who travel here to get away from the northern climates.”
