Kid friendly, atv friendly, tent camping, 100 miles from Houston.

Answer
In the Sam Houston national forest, there I this camp area call "Kelly's Pond" that is adjacent to the off road trail system. As far as kid friendly, not sure what that means. There are no play grounds or swimming there. There is a permanent out house building, but no running water or showers.

There is also a place in the Angelina national forest that has of rod trails, but its been so many years since I've been there, I can't remember what amenities they have.

Kelly's Pond is about 12 east of 45 near New Waverly. See the SHNF web page for a map and more information.
