Summer is here, and finding a great campground is sure to be on the list for things to do with family and friends. Although, it can get a little expensive what with campsite fees and advanced reservations, it’s ideal to find places just as beautiful where no reservations are required. Here in Texas, there are plenty of camping sites to chose from where you can enjoy the great outdoors with little to no fees or reservations to worry about. Below are five campgrounds that are totally free.
