Guess I'll be buying one next Wednesday if they sell them at Caddo Lake SP......it makes good sense as I have 5 trips already booked. Also ordered a cast iron DO cuz I NEED one desperately.

They sell them at all the parks and it saves that daily fee.
They will give you a temporary card and mail you a plastic card. It is worth it. We have had one for years.

Good to know!

Just purchased my third Park Pass @ Buescher this weekend. The ranger said they've been really slow at getting the cards sent out. We'll have to wait up to 4 months for those coupons. It really is worth the money spent. You can invite friends and take them for the day.

The pass also gets you discounts at stuff purchased at park stores, as well as discounted rates on some rentals and tours, among other things.

I noticed that with the hay rides at Garner SP.

I think we need to renew ours too. We get our money's worth out of it for sure!

After 4 months we finally got the real park pass in the mail. It came with four coupons for camping that you can use one at a time. (50 % off camping for one night, minimum 2 night stay)Still a good thing to have if you visit the parks even for the day. Planning two parks at least in the next month, Ray Roberts and Palo Duro. May also hit the big festival at Cedar Hill SP on April 5
for the day

April 5,2008
7th Annual Cedar Hill Expo — Enjoy a fun filled day in which you can participate in many of the programs we offer. Some of the events include reptile programs, bass casting for kids, a wildflower walk, archery and kayaking. Game Wardens will also be available throughout the day to answer questions regarding TPWD regulations

**** ALL COUPONS HAVE BEEN AWARDED; THANKS GANG! ****
Speaking of which, I have TWO coupons from our State Park Pass renewal that I need to give away to a couple deserving Wild Texans. Justin and I won't have time to use all four of ours before they expire (ours expire in September 2008) so we're giving away two. I do not think you need to have a State Park Pass for the coupons to be accepted.

**** Congrats to TexasCamper_01, happybooker1, and almitra (I threw in a third coupon 'cuz she was within minutes of the second request.) They were the first registered WildTexas.com users to let me know they'd like to receive a September-expiring TPWD 50% off camping for one night (2 night minimum) coupon.

The coupons are good for "50% OFF CAMPING FOR ONE NIGHT | Expires September 2008" and must be presented at CHECK-IN at a Texas State Park.

Fine print on the coupons:
"Coupon valid for intended use only. Valid only for campsite or regular screened shelter. Not valid on holiday weekends or with any other offer. No cash value. TPWD not responsible for lost coupon. Good for one use. One coupon per visit. Subject to availability. Non-refundable."

No rules or conditions to receiving them, other than being a currently registered WildTexas.com user as of today March 27, 2008. Of course, you know I'd like you to come back here after the trip(s) and share your trip report(s), but even that's not required.

**** ALL COUPONS HAVE BEEN AWARDED; THANKS GANG! ****

I sent you a PM, Shannon...hopefully, I'm not too slow...LOL!!! TIA!

Shannon · 03-29-2008, 11:00 AM

TexasCamper_01, happybooker1, and almitra, I'll be dropping the coupons off in the mail sometime today so expect them early next week. If I'd planned this better, I'd throw in a WildTexas.com bumper sticker into each of your envelopes, but I only have one sticker--need to order more--and that one's spoken 'fer already (by me!)

Enjoy!

almitra · 03-29-2008, 12:55 PM

You're the best, Shannon! Muchas Gracias!

Also, I received my Park Pass in the mail today less than 2 weeks after I ordered it, can you believe it? Must be some kinda record cuz I thought the wait was going to be loooong! Anyhow, the 4 coupons for camping will indeed be used since I have 6 more camping trips upcoming in the next months.

Very cool almitra, still haven't got ours yet.Almost 2 months now.
