Howdy!

Long time viewer but this is the first time I needed a few questions answered...

My wife and I are beach campers that love Padre Island National Seashore. We have yet to make a trip there this year due to the weather and weed. Needing to get out, we have decided to hit Canyon Lake this coming weekend. I have googled Canyon Lake and I am not finding a whole lot of info on it.

What we are trying to do or hoping to do is park our 4x4 close to the water and throw up a tent and EZ-Up canopy. At the same time I am hoping to be able to kayak out one or two catfish lines (we will have a kayak so I figured I would kayak out some baits). Being able to build a small campfire would be a bonus. So basically we are not after anything major...a tent close to the water and safety.

We are military and I know about the Ft. Sam and Randolph areas but their websites are lacking a few things like info. I called them but they didn't really have the time to talk. So, does anyone have any good links to Canyon Lake that would help me find what I am looking for? Anyone know if you can put a tent on the water line at the Ft.Sam/Randolph areas? Anyone have a suggestion on somewhere else I should try? Any information at all would be helpful.

Thank you very much for your time. Thanks for any help!!!

Hey Sandseeker,
We have stayed at Potters Creek Park at Canyon many times ,it's nice.Like must of Canyons parks it is run by the U S Corps of Engineers.Look at the parks section in WildTexas,pick any city to Canyon Lake, and you will find a few of them.Look under corps for other imfo.Hope this helps some.

Thanks for the info bro. I checked all the links/parks and have a few ideas. I just thought it would be easier to find info on a spot on that lake that is safe while being able to camp close to the water line. Also didn't see any decent pictures of these parks. Can't say I saw any recent fishing reports from that lake. Everything I was able to find was pretty much outdated. I did see a website owned by a bait shop close to C.L. that has a couple of catfish ponds lol.

The search continues

Anyone have any more info I would be greatful!
