Learning is fun at Camp Bayou!




In a nutshell, 
Camp Bayou was an RV 
park in another life but is 
now a nature preserve open to the 
general public with trails, nature center,
fossil museum, native camp, picnic tables 
and more in its 160 acres but camping 
is NOT an option. There are no 
playgrounds, ball fields or 
other less 'natural' 
activites.
