    Lake Tawakoni SP August 2008

    Ok even with a trailer 104 is hot, did two nights at Lake Tawakoni and took a few pictures, had to visit the uni bathrooms while there (see links below)which were wide open, park was about 1/3 full only one brave tent family with large fans, rest of us nuts in trailers and when inside running the A/C. Did swim in the AM but by 11 it was getting warm. Fish were biting real well (catfish, sunfish and bass. in early evening) as fishermen were out then

    for a past report Lake Tawakani State Park review

    Hard to believe it was that cool one year ago

    How well do the covers for the beds work? I too have a hybrid and the bed areas can sure get warm. Oh, and where does one find them?

    Thanks

    The covers work real well, we had some for years with the pop-up, just got one for the hybrid now (we rarely use the back end currently so only got one )
    Anyway they not only help relect heat, we forgot how dark they make the tent end, In summer when the sun is up early it was nice to have.

    I guess it kept out at least 15 degrees, maybe more.

    anyway they have a web site PopupGizmos He is alocal camper

    and he will ship them to you. What kind of hybrid do you have? We always seem to be modifying now, adding selves, hooks, key holders, ect.

    :thumbsup:

    Thanks for the link, I will check them out. We have a Jayco Kiwi (21ft) and often only open the one side.

    Well its August but 2009 so why not go back, this time much better temps. Left on a Friday and it was a very pleasant 83 when we got there around 1230 put up the pop up gizmo's and went to Katies Cafe in Wills Point, yum very good Chicken Fried steak Special, they are only open till 2 each day and closed on Saturday so had to go ! love those little dinners! We were in site 64 again, nice big open site

    Saturday started off at a pleasant 70 still the park was quite empty.

    For those who have a trailer, they have added about 10 sewer sites in the park. Its the first loop and a number of pull throughts just past the main rest room area.

    Saturday hit the beach and swam before it got too warm, At least there were some other folks this time. All in all a nice park less than 90 miles from us that was quiet on the last weekend before school !

    For pictures from last year (it hasn't changed) see below links
