Park Flooding Forces Evacuation of Waterline Campsites

Camping, The Frio River 5 Comments »

Campers all along stretches of the Frio River were advised by officials to find shelter on higher ground as a precaution for the threat of excessive rain and flooding.

Early reports indicate that around 75 people had to relocate from their campsites early Tuesday morning, and no one was allowed to access the river from inside the park. Officials anticipate that the river will return to an acceptable level later in the day and that campers would be able to return to their sites at that time.

Already this week weather related events have taken the lives of over 5 victims across the state.

Hooray! We’ve got our spots reserved and we’ll officially be heading out for some R&R starting on Wednesday August 22nd. Thanks to an extended vacation for my father (90 days to be exact), we’ll be spending more time than had originally been planned and fortunately there was room available for the additional days. I will say that I was at Lake Mineral Wells State Park last weekend, and while the scenery is similary the enviroments no where close and of course there’s no Frio River.
