My son and his buddy drew Youth Javelina for early February. I have been calling down there to see what options there are for lodging, but can't get anyone on the phone to answer. So, I figured I would reach out to the Green Screen to see what those of you who have hunted there did for it. What say you, are there any cabins for rent in one of the nearby Parks, or is it only tent or pull a trailer? Also, do they allow you to bring a UTV? Any help would be appreciated, just trying to make this as enjoyable as possible for the boys, especially since their other hunt didn't go so well.

The WMA has a camping area you can use. Pretty minimal but it is conveniently located to the ranger station. We stayed in Three Rivers once at a “well it’s better than sleeping in the truck” hotel. Last year we stayed at the hotel in Tilden. Much better. Max’s Cafe in Tilden has great burgers. Perfect place to go after the hunt.

Originally posted by climatecrisis View PostMax's cafe is great. Depending on the compartment you draw, Choke Canyon Lodge
is a great place to stay. It could be a small distance away, but this place has everything.

When we hunted there we stayed in the state park. They have cabins to rent that are pretty basic but they were warm. They have three bars if remember correctly (we took a cot along for the fourth in our group). Restroom with showers within walking distance. Watch out for the coons, they will steal your food. Put something on top of the cooler you have with food in it. They opened a latched cooler and took the hamburgers we were going to have for supper one night. If you have a compartment by the lake it’s not a bad drive.

The place with cabins we stayed at last year was Grand Eagle Ford Lodge. It’s right in Tilden. Not bad at all for the price.
Bass Inn lodge will get you the scratchies. Last time I stayed there you stood on top of the plush shag carpet - reminded me of an 80’s hairspray stiffener. It was so nasty always wear shoes. The sheets seemed to move on their own. Maybe better now?

I've stayed in one of the cabins at the Calliham unit of the state park during a Daughtrey draw hunt. It was great. Fire ring to cook dinner (bring your own firewood). Cabins have electricity and beds with mattress (bring your own sleeping bag and plug-in heater). Restroom with shower was 40 yards away.
My son and I stayed at Texas Inn and Suites for one of his youth draws. It was great as well. Agave Jalisco is right across the street and had good Mexican food. And cold beer.Last edited by Mule Skinner; 01-10-2023, 04:29 PM.
