Potters Creek Park is the definition of “middle of nowhere”. If you’re looking for some off the grid, on the lake relaxation, then this is your place. The RV sites were fairly spacious, with picnic table and awning. Our neighbors were friendly and on the first night they invited us to relax at their fire pit and we swapped stories of our lives on the road. The bathroom was small, but the showers had hot water and even when the campground was full there was no wait. Cell reception was spotty at best, but when you hit a good patch the speeds were fairly good. Not gaming streaming, but we could watch Netflix without too much worry.

City

Canyon Lake, TX

We drove around for quite a while on the motorcycle and I’m still not exactly sure where Canyon Lake is. We stopped through a few small towns that seemed like they were only a mile or so long, with mostly mom and pop shops. While we didnt find too much to do outside of tubing (not in the winter!) and walking the dam, the small towns we stopped in had everything we need to a comfortable stay in Potters Creek Park. 

Restaurant:

We searched Google while walking the dam for something to eat after the hike. This led us to Jay & Diane’s Horseshoe Grill. They claim to have the best burgers around, and they really might be right! It’s a very small kitchen, almost like a food truck, with outdoor seating. Everything is ala carte, which works perfectly for picky eaters like me. The meat was flavorful and the sides were equally delicious. Very recommended.
