Kincaid Park, Clarendon, TX - Oct 16
The drive to Clarendon took us through Dumas, TX, reported to be the home of the "ding dong daddies" (Dumas AR also makes this claim). This is an old song sung by, among others, Louie Armstrong. You can search for more info on the web if you are interested. The local radio station is KDDD for "Ding Dong Daddies". Dumas is also home to a lovely, and conveniently located, city-run RV park with full hookups, which is free for the first night and $10 after that. It would have made a much better stop and will be noted for future reference.
We had called ahead to Kincaid Park and were told we could camp with hookups for $12/night and dry camp around the lake for free. We headed there intending to pay for hookups and stay two nights; however, when we arrived we found that this was in addition to a $3 per person per day "usage" fee. That annoyed us enough that we dry camped for only one night. It was an attractive enough area but difficult to find a large enough level spot.
