I just saw in today's paper that the city council has passed a no camping ordinance. The intent was to eliminate people camping in abandoned buildings and such. However as written it will eliminate overnighting at Walmart as well.
"Ordinance No. 1466, amends Chapter 8, "Offenses and Nuisances" of the Code of Ordinances and makes it illegal to camp inside city limits except inside a designated RV Park or campground.
The ordinance defines camping as sleeping in a vacant or condemned building, in a vehicle, tent, travel trailer, camper or any other temporary structure. The ordinance does not apply to persons participating in special events approved by the city, or to families and children camping out on their own property or with permission on a neighbor's property."

PSA= Public Service Announcement.
There is one park in town that is city owned. It is poorly planned and will handle only small to medium campers.
I posted this because I know during the fall and spring that snowbirds passing through sometimes use the local Walmart for and overnight stop. Didn't want anyone getting a ticket because of a new ordinance.

No parks in Kilgore but Tyler State park is very good. Some sites are a bit old but all in all, a nice park. edit--If you want to see a nice museum of Kilgore in the oil boom of the 1930s, go by the Kilgore Junior College and see that one. Fabulous!
