.Corps of Engineer vs. Texas State Parks

Corps of Engineer vs. Texas State Parks In this video, Sharon and MiLena, the Two Tired Teachers will compare Army Corps of Engineer Parks with Texas State Parks. First, let's look at the price. During Covid 19, apparently the Corps of Engineer (COE) parks are waving the day use fee. With our Texas State Park pass, the two parks are very comparable in price. When COE parks have an entrance fee, Texas State Parks are cheaper because of the park pass. The online reservations are similar for both COE and state Parks. Both usually have pictures of the campsites. The process for both is fairly easy. Looking at security, we feel safe in both types of parks. Anytime we don't feel safe, we aren't staying. At COE parks, sometimes a sheriff will drive through the park. At Texas State Parks, not only are there park rangers, but many of the parks also have Texas State Park Police. It is nice to have someone with police training in the park. One other security measure used by many Texas State Parks is a locked gate. If you are camping at a park where the gates are locked, the ranger who checks you into the park will give you a gate code so that you can come in after the gates are locked. At COE parks, they let you know when the gates close, but it you aren't there before the gates close, it will be morning before you can enter the park. Location is another thing that is important to many campers. Since 2020 is the time of Covid 19, the Two Tired Teachers have decided not to swim because so much remains unknown about the pandemic. It was the perfect time to visit gator parks. We needed a park for the weekend and couldn't find a Texas State Park with openings, so we went to a gorgeous COE park in far east Texas. Campsites in the two types of parks are different. In most Texas State Parks that we've visited, the campsites are more secluded than the COE parks. In many state parks, you cannot see the people in the next campsite. In the COE parks where we've stayed, you can see everyone around you. Also, during Covid 19, the state parks are doing a better job of social distancing. In some parks it seems that 50% of the sites are closed to give ample space between campers. When we look at amenities, Texas State Parks have many more trails than COE parks. Lake Mineral Wells, for example, has 12.8 miles of trails not counting the 20 mile trailway. Yet, when we look at playgrounds in the two kinds of parks, COE parks have some great playgrounds with numerous slides of little kids and bigger kids. Also, COE parks are more apt to offer life jackets at swim areas and boat launches. When we're not in the middle of Covid 19, Texas State Parks have rentals of canoes, boats, paddle boards, and kayaks; and they have a loaner program for fishing gear. When you're choosing between state parks or COE parks, the decision may come down to familiarity. What are you most used to? Whichever you choose, we hope you will get out there and camp. Texas has a lot to offer in the way of campsites.
