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'
activities.
