We always stay under the tree canopy. The deer show in the morning and evening in the lower field. Peaceful and very few people were there during our stay. Just wish they had sewer hook ups.

Sites such as #40 and #41 have had power problems for at least 2 years. Using a surge protector connected to the RV , surge protector shows red warning. Our friends after circuit breakers pop, they had to try the third site before they could stay at McCowan.

When at lake Whitney you must go into town and try Tres Hermanos Mexican food. And if you need something for your camper or anything go to Tucker Lumber. They are great people.
