The 2023 Texas BBQ Brethren Spring Bash Planning Post

Hotch · 10-03-2022, 04:13 PM

Most of you know me, I like to start planning the Bash early!
As both the Pavilion and RV camping reservations go pretty quick at Isle du Bois.

As of today, I'm thinking we have it in April 2023.

Once we have a couple of hard dates, I will call TPWD to reserve Pavilion 2 and pay them the $$$.
It may change due to reservation availability.

Post the date as soon as you decide on one. I will try to plan for it! I love my trips to Texas.

I’m gonna try to do things different next year, do a trip in the winter, then be home for March/April then leave in May. I would love to go to a bash.

You need to show up, so much fun, so much food.

Wife and I are going to try to make it this year.
As soon as the date is set, we'll start making reservations.

That's Great news!!
November 1st I should be able to make the reservation for April dates. Then December 1st for May dates.

I first need to see when the HS BBQ Championship will be as Shelly and will be there in support of SuckleBusters Rubs and sauces and my Prosper Pitmasters!!

Hey Hotch!
Any word on a date yet? I'm itchin to make reservations!

Hotch · 11-07-2022, 07:48 PM

TPWD has not yet opened reservations for April 2023. I’ll keep checking!

bowhnter · 11-07-2022, 07:51 PM

Early to mid April, hopefully!

BuffettFan · 11-07-2022, 08:21 PM

Thanks!
Where about in the park is the pavilion located?
Looking at the campground loops, Deer Run looks promising, but I'd like to make sure we're close by.
Currently planning on getting in on Thursday, and pulling out Monday.
I figure that way, we'll be relaxed Friday night for any early Bashing, have a leisure Sunday and then be ready to pull out Monday.
Thinking of heading south, to Austin and Corpus Christi.
From there, Louisiana and then Arkansas before heading home.
2 to 3 weeks, total.

I still have a week or two till I can reserve and pay for the Pavilion.
The date I hope to get is April 22, 2023.
