This summer my family and I are going to go camping some place in Texas. Preferably near a river, mountain, or a lake. As long as it's pretty. And it has to be at most 5 hours from Beaumont. Thanks! (:

Answer
There are many state parks, 25 or 30, within 5 hours of Beaumont . Here is a Texas state park site .
One thing to remember when camping especially in south east Texas is alligators . Check with park personal . Also mountains are about 11 or 12 hours away in west Texas .

Where can I go primitive beach camping in Florida?

My wife and I love to camp on the beach. There are numerous places in Texas and Louisiana where you can set up a tent either very close to the sand or on it. Any suggestions?

Answer
You can get a back country permit to camp directly on the beach at Canaveral National Seashore In New Smyrna Beach. This is a "hike in" only location, so may have the entire twelve miles of beach to yourselves.
Most of the locations already mentioned by other answerers are in developed parks and while quite nice, are still developed and you will have plenty of neighbors.

You can also go to Everglades National Park and primitive camp on Cape Sable. You cannot reach this place by car or foot, only by boat.
