This was a small museum. I paid $3. Cheap! I walked around the museum. I learned the history of the Laredo area. This is a small museum. You need an hour.

6. Lake Casa Blanca International State Park

Reviewed By Kathryn1953 - Camp Verde, United States
This RV park delivers spacious level sites, many with views of the lake. The roads in the park are paved so there are many miles for safely riding bicycles. And there are hiking trails winding through the cacti and vegetation. A fishing wharf and boat launch offers additional hours of relaxation. The best feature though is the quietness and beautiful starry nights of southern Texas.
