New Information as of Feb 15, 2005

At this point, work has begun. I had been promised when originally told about the plans that there would be no closure of any of the camping areas. As I figured, this turned out to be not all together so. The back "full hook-up" loop (sites 44-58) are "closed". I was told that test holes have been dug and that trenching should begin next week.

When the back loop is complete, the area known as "The Strip" (sites 32-43) will be started. With that area complete, all "full hook-up" sites will be up to speed. They are then going to move on to the "power & water" sites.

I was also informed that work has been slowed a bit due to the amount of rain we have had down here. Further, we are looking at a "180 day contract" so this is going to be going on well into summer.

Even though there has been a closure of part of the park, it would seem that they are doing all they can to keep as much of the park "up and running" as possible. We are looking at a 3-day trip to Cleburne SP for the week after next. This will give me an opportunity to do a first hand inspection. I will be sure to post my findings here.

Hope this information is of some help to all. Will continue posting information as I receive it.

Happy Camping!
