Re: Primitive Camping

I don't know about Bastrop SP. Have you looked at Hill Country SNA? And if you don't mind traveling a bit further west, you might check out Devil's River SNA between Sonora and Del Rio. I'm sure either of these State Natural Areas will give you the sense of isolation you are seeking.

I've hiked Hill Country. Spent a day on the trails out there and did not meet a single person. I didn't even see anyone -- not even that morning at the Headquarters -- until I drove out that afternoon and spotted some folks on horseback in the distance. I've not been to Devil's River, but it is on my list.

As my moniker implies, I don't backpack, just day hike. I usually carry in my water. Since I don't have to carry tent, sleeping bag, cooking gear, etc., a gallon of water is no bother.
