I used to come to this lake a TON as a kid. Still a great place, but now there are so many stickers / sand burs that it's unbelievable. Originally, we were in sight b50 and b52, and these stickers were dense enough and big enough to take out 10,000 small children. The dam was beautiful, the wildlife is great, the hiking trails were decent (but still stickers on the trails). There's a couple of restaurants really close by and they're pretty affordable. There weren't really any stickers in the rest of the Big bend campsites except for the three at the end I mentioned. The people that work here, and live around here, are SUPER friendly!
