so only one weekend every month camping is allowed?

not bad, i might actually plan a weekend there now!. 
maybe every weekend will come soon after!

Nice! , Hope they keep the price low for camping 50 for two days is already a bit steep.

if the 50 dollars include the entry fee. its not too bad.

Any and all questions and concerns will be addressed by the City of Bridgeport on their website in fully a detailed rules and regulations announcement prior to opening camping weekend....sorry, we're only following orders
The only additional information we can release at this time is that ALL camping will be confined entirely within the main parking lot boundaries at the gate house area, no exceptions....there will be plenty of room there for all campers.

Please continue to check the City's official website for additional updates

thats not a bad deal at all! i like it

$40 dollars is reasonable, I will be at the Texas 4WD statewide meet in October but may come out in November for some camping. If I bring people with me camping do I need to pay anything for them?

Wonder if they are going to revise the "no alcohol in the park" policy to a "no alcohol on the trails" policy.

It is $15 per "camping vehicle"  which means if your friends ride and camp with you then there is no additional fee.  If they bring their own vehicle and/or camper or tent then they will have to pay the related fees.

that should be fair enough, thats just like the other parks.

What are the rules on night riding?
 
Z & Lil Red thanks for your help!

Thanks for all your patience and we look forward to seeing you all at the Park!

I am assuming since "Campers must observe all daily use park rules." this means that alcohol is not allowed when camping?

Too bad its only the second saturday of each month
