Cleburne State Park
Construction Up-Date
Mid-May, 2005

Got out to Cleburne SP yesterday (Thursday, 5/19). Didn't camp, just took the 'yaks out for a couple of hours of paddling and a picnic. Got a chance to check on the progress of the work and thought that others may be interested.

The work on the back camping loop(Sites 44-58)is complete and that area has re-opened. Except for a small pile of fill, it would be very difficult for any one not familiar with the park to tell that any thing had been done. The work was completed with very little damage to the area. By next spring, all hints should be gone.

The area known as "The Strip" (Sites 32-43) is now closed and work is proceeding there. I was not able to gat a progress report but given what I could see, I would judge that the area should be complete in approxamatly one month.

Reservations are still restricted to 3 days in advance and can only be made by calling the park directly. The number is given in my posts above.

We hope to be camping at Cleburne SP around the first of next month. If so, I will try to get more info and some new pictures to post. Until then and always, happy camping!
