I second what MM said about Mission Tejas...a nice, small, quiet park in a beautiful setting. I've also been to Village Creek SP twice, and I loved it. However, that was before it took a direct hit from hurricane Rita, which tore it up pretty badly from what I've read online. I'm sure it will recover with time. The scenery (mix of pine woods & swamp/bayous) is (was?) great. I was only there for day trips, so can't vouch for the quality of the camping sites, though from driving by, I think they were typical state park sites (a bit close together but ok). I do recall they also had walk-in tent camping areas. You might check on TPWD's web site. Lake Houston park (formerly state park now run by city of Houston) is nice for hiking & walk-in/primitive camping, and they also have cabins, but prob not much to offer for RV/SUV camping.
