Camp Thicket is one of the oldest remnants of mature Tamaulipan Thorn Forest left in the Rio Grande Valley. Texas Parks & Wildlife Department purchased the old Methodist Camp Thicket in April 2010. The land was purchased by the agency to conserve our rapidly vanishing native habitat. As part of the State Park, Camp Thicket continues to serve large groups. It is a private area which hold two separate meeting and overnight facilities.

The South Complex is composed of one large building with six bedrooms including 5 bunk beds in each room. Each room has a bathroom with showers. There is a large kitchen and meeting space. It has a large barbeque pit and ice machine.

The North Complex consists of individual bunk houses, two separate shower houses, a recreation hall with kitchen and dining hall or meeting space. It also has a large barbeque pit.

Camp Thicket also has a large Chapel, an Outdoor Pavilion, and a nature trail.
