Wes Cooksey Park
This is a small tree shaded Uvalde County Park that offers tent camping, swimming and fishing opportunities on the sparkling Nueces River -- a terrific watercourse on the western edge of the Hill Country. They also have RV pads. This place appears on some of the top ten lists of swimming holes. The park is located three miles south of Camp Wood on State Hwy 55. There is a dam on the river at this location and the crossing just below the camp has good access for a play area. The photo on the website doesn't begin to portray how sweet of a place this is. Contact the Clear Creek Outfitters for paddle trip information up around these parts because the stream gages often don't convey much useful information.
