Stockton Flats Yellow Post Campsites
This is a series of seven (7) campsites, each marked by a yellow post, and numbered 3 through 9. Each site comes with a fire ring and that's about it. Sites 3 through 8 are all bunched together along a loop in the road, while site 9, also dubbed "Big Horn Camp" is about another 1,000 feet down the road.
Lone Camp, Lytle Creek, CA
This is a single "yellow post" campsite located along the creek side of Lytle Creek Road lies about 500 further up the road from Cold Camp. The campsite is long enough for full sized motorhomes and fifth-wheel trailers to get into, and is much easier to back into based on the way it is angled from the road.
Cold Camp, Lytle Creek, CA
This is a single "yellow post" campsite located along the north side of Lytle Creek Road right at the fork with Cold Water Canyon. The campsite is long enough for full sized motorhomes and fifth-wheel trailers to get into, albeit with some skill backing into the 90-degree turn from the road.
Twin Buttes Equalization Channel
The Equalization Channel refers to a channel of water that connects the two reservoirs at Twin Buttes Recreation Area. There is a service road on the channel's west side, and there are two places were camping is allowed, one at each end of the service road. A permit is required to camp here.
Twin Buttes Marina Park
Twin Buttes Marina Park is the primary boat launch and campground for the reservoir. There are at about a couple dozen picnic tables with trash cans and cooking grills, but dispersed camping is allowed everywhere here. A permit is required to camp here,
Twin Buttes Marina Circle
Twin Buttes Circle refers to the circular road with boat ramp, parking lot, and camping area located off of Twin Buttes Marina Park Road. Camping is allowed here, but with permit only. There are few picnic tables you can camp next to, but you can also camp in your RV in the parking lot.
Falcon County Park
This county park has the dubious reputation of having no time limits on camping, thus you'll find several campers who are staying here indefinitely. Some camps look like homeless encampments with tents and junk laying around, but other "lifers" appear to keep their camp neat and clean.
Boca Chica Beach, Texas
Boca Chica Beach lies near the southern tip of Texas along the shore, at the end of State Highway 4. Ownership of the area is a convoluted mess between Texas Department of Parks & Wildlife, US Fish & Wildlife Service, SpaceX, and a few other land owners representing oil companies.
Yarborough Pass, Padre Island, TX
Yarborough Pass is a primitive camping area located along the Laguna Madre. It is accessed by driving down South Beach for approximately 15 miles then traversing on a high clearance four-wheel drive sand and caliche road for 1.6 miles. There are four campsites with shade structures, but dispersed beach camping is also allowed.
South Beach, Mile 5-60, Padre Island, TX
South Beach, Mile 5-60, differs from Mile 0-5 in that 4WD is required, whereas at Mile 0-5, 2WD is allowed. The entire 60 mile stretch of Padre Island National Seashore is accessible from only one entrance, and that entrance starts at the north with Mile 0, thus if you went the full 60 miles, you have to retrace your route back north to get out.
