First, let me introduce myself. My wife and I are from Colorado. The Air Force has brought us to San Antonio. My wife has a very demanding schedule as she is going to school, but we love to get outdoors when we can.

Naturally, being sportsman from Colorado, we love to go camping. In my mind, the more primitive the better. That's one reason why I got into the sport of rock crawling. I own a '73 bronco that I have modified in order to tackle some pretty extreme terrain. However, it seems here in TX rock crawling is more of a hobby in itself and is usually not coupled with camping. Also we're still adjusting to the heat and humidity, but we're making progress. Which means we're probably more suited to camping in the fall and winter than in the summer here.

My questions are, can anyone point us to some specific spots for camping that may require 4WD to get to, is near water and is dog friendly? I'd like to learn more about spots near San Antonio where we can take a weekend to enjoy, but I'd also like to learn more about spots that are further away that take a long weekend to enjoy. In my searching (how I came across this site), I see that there are some spots in Big Bend that require 4WD.

I also own an stock F-350 4WD that I'd most likely take, but I am interested in spots that take more clearance than my truck if there are any.

Thanks for you help! This is a great site!
