Heads up, urban campers and those looking for a unique weekend getaway: overnight camping is now available at one of the newest parks in South Texas, according to MY SA.
Camp McAllen, a 20-acre outdoor recreational space located in the city of McAllen, in the Rio Grande Valley, is now accepting reservations for overnight camping that offers a relaxing outdoor escape while still being close enough to civilization to make a quick marshmallow run for making s’mores. Officials have previously described the new campground as more than just a destination spot.
Overnight camping is only allowed on weekends — from Friday through Sunday. Campers can bring their own tents and supplies or rent four- or six-person tents and LED lanterns from the Parks and Rec Department for nominal fees.
All campers, including the BYOT — bring your own tent — campers, will have to pay a fee for the camp pad they use.
