Each campsite has a flag pole, picnic tables, concrete camping pads, fire pit, canopy cover for the tables, and an electrical outlet if needed.

Adventure camps or summer camps will most likely allow mess hall, pool, splash pad usage. All in all, a great camping site for scouts!

Involvement in scouting is one of the more wholesome rites of passage for American boys and their…read moredads. One of the things I most look forward to do with my Cub Scout is to go on camp-outs. These aren't pack it in 10 miles whilst carrying 40 lbs on your back camp-outs. Instead, for the boys 10 years old and younger, it's park your car and carry your tent 50 yards to where you set it up sort of camp-outs. Regardless, it's an excellent introduction to the outdoors and to skills that they'll use when they really go on wilderness hikes in a few years. Camp Bovay, located an hour from Houston on the way to College Station, is almost too accommodating in this regard. We showed up on a Saturday morning, signed in and went to the designated area for our troop. We set up our tent, and filled it with our sleeping pads, sleeping bags and day packs with all our stuff. We were ready to go. There was the obligatory flag raising ceremony (this is the scouts, you realize) and then lunch was served in air-conditioned comfort in a big cafeteria. Afterward, the kids spent all afternoon going from activity to activity, none of which were particularly nature-oriented. They did get to ride BMX bikes, hit golf balls at a driving range (most of the kids enjoyed picking them up more than hitting them), traverse a rock wall, try their hand a Frisbee golf, play in a swimming pool complex with lots of slides, go paddle-boating, and do some archery (hooray - that finally sounds like scouting!). I found the whole thing a bit staged and "summer-campish". Right as the last activity ended, the heavens opened and drenched everyone. I hurried back to my tent and found that my Walmart special worked as advertised and kept everything inside dry and snug as a bug. Unfortunately for many of the other boys and parents, this wasn't the case. Wet sleeping bags and other camping accessories were everywhere. I turned to a friend and laughed, "If worst comes to worst, it's only an hour drive back to all the comforts of home." A number of people took that option. Another too civilized meal preceded the classic campfire, with skits and humor that only pre-teenagers can fully appreciate along with some communal singing and cooking of marshmallows that went into s'mores (if you don't know what a s'more is, you have no business reading this review). Away from the city lights, you could actually see the milky way. As the evening wound down, I began giggling as the sound of battery-operated air compressors became omnipresent as campers inflated their air mattresses (I told my son that that was "cheating" and we don't camp that way). I slept like a baby, missing the coyote howls, and woke up at 5:30 listening to crickets chirping and the first morning songbirds warbling. I took a deep breath and was confronted with that wonderful smell of stale sweat and sodden clothing. I finally felt that I was having a true camping experience. Then the first ring tone from someone's cell phone went off. Chaucer's Chanticleer couldn't have woken up the troops more effectively. Sigh... I love lighting up a Coleman stove and cooking up eggs in gobs of bacon grease on mornings like this. Instead, we "hiked" (using the term loosely) over to the cafeteria and had breakfast whilst listening to country western music piped over the sound system. I was crestfallen. Afterward, we returned to camp, broke everything down and threw it into the trunk of the car. The boys asked, "What are we going to do now? All the activities are closed!" I replied, "We're going to have even more fun!" We picked up the fishing gear and walked through the tall grass, catching grasshoppers as we went. Down at the pond, a school of pretty perch were more than happy to get hooked with every cast as they gorged on grasshoppers. The boys all got to catch numerous fish (or the same ones over and over again), take them off the hook and throw them back. Things were starting to get good. We found some huge spiders, lots of crickets and more grasshoppers. Of course, all these critters are available in our yards back home, but somehow lack the appeal that they have on a camp-out. Getting hungry again, we went back to our cars and headed home. My son conked out in about 2 minutes and slept most of the way back. I found myself singing along to the Eagle's "Take It Easy" on FM radio as I drove. For a short period of time on Sunday morning, everything was right with the world.

Having been riding for the last seven years (since she was four), the hardest part of the move has been not being able to ride. Sally was very accommodating allowing her to try out a class alongside her Wednesday horse club class. Our experience was amazing. I truly appreciated how Sally respected my daughter's riding style and did not try to make her ride any other way. She gave her feedback throughout the lesson and adjusted technique when needed. She also explained things my daughter seemed to be clueless about (it happens!) She was kind and respectful and her facility is lovely. My daughter is more interested in cutting and reining, which doesn't seem to be common round here. Until we find such a place, I think we are where we need to be. Looking forward to future lessons.

One of the attractions were a petting zoo and pony ride provided by EJC Farms. The young employee taking tickets was very polite. The animals were precious. Then my daughter pointed down to a baby goat. It's leg was so contorted that I became nausested. The tiny goat wasn't a buckling or small doe. This was a baby "Kid" no more than 7-8 weeks old. It was still trying to nurse on another lactating doe. At first, I thought maybe the crooked leg were a birth deformity but the tiny goat showed obvious signs of pain and suffering such as; Whimpering, limping, falling at the slightest bump from a child or animal passing by, unable to maintain balance, trouble standing up after falling. I had to put my 1 1/2 year old toddler down so i could redirect the goat and keep other animals and people from stepping on the injured animal. After a closer look at the animals leg and it was painfully clear that this animal needed medical attention ASAP. I knew the festival still had 2 hours before closing so I asked the man at the gate if he knew the goat was injured. He said "the little black & white one? Yes ma'am, we know. One of the larger animals steeped in it while they were traveling in the trailer today." A lady standing nearby heard the conversation and pointed out who she thought was in charge of the animals. This is how that went: ME: Hello there. I wanted to let you know that one of your small goats is injured. EDWARD LEE ROBINSON: Yes, I know. One of the animals stepped on it while they were in the trailer today. It ain't broke. ME: (my smile immediately disappeared) Ok..... maybe it's not a severe break, but it could be something that needs medical attention and requires rest. EDWARD LEE ROBINSON: It ain't broke. ME: Yes, you already said that. The animal is injured, sir. Did a vet look at the goat and verify that it's not broken. EDWARD LEE ROBINSON: ...No. It ain't broke. () ME: (voice shaking so bad i sounded like a goat myself) That's so cruel. ....You are so cruel. I hoped for him to elaborate on his weak ass rebuttal but got nothing more. His vague replies and uninterested facial expression was a sign that i was wasting time trying to reason with a person who wouldn't show mercy to a baby animal in severe pain. From what I saw, there was only one transport trailer to transport ALL of the animals. I'm guessing at least 24 animals combined, ranging from the smallest/youngest goat weighing about 12lbs compared to a calf and Shetland ponies weighing between 500-550 lbs. This injured goat was about the size of my Boston terrier. Why in the bloody hell would a 12 lb goat be next to a 500 lb pony while traveling from magnolia to spring? I hate giving someone a bad review, but if you would have seen the baby animal suffering and no one doing anything to help them, you would do the same.
