Questions
Which sites at Brushy Creek Campground are the shadiest?

See the tree canopy in RoamWhich sites at Brushy Creek Campground get the most sun?
Only a few. 4 of 76 sites are truly sunny and 7 more get some sun; the rest are shaded. These counts cover the 76 of 98 sites with a mapped location.
See the tree canopy in RoamWill Starlink work at Brushy Creek Campground?
Only at a few. About 9 of 76 sites have a clear gap in the trees for Starlink and 11 a partial one; most sit under tall trees. These counts cover the 76 of 98 sites with a mapped location. Satellite texting on a phone needs less open sky, but still works best from the most open spot you can find. This is our estimate from tree heights — check with the Starlink app's obstruction check when you arrive.

11 of 76 sites are flat, and 15 more have a gentle slope most RVs can level with blocks; 50 are steeper, better for tents. Sites that take RVs or trailers fit rigs up to 80 ft. These counts cover the 76 of 98 sites with a mapped location.

Mostly. Verizon and AT&T report coverage at every site; T-Mobile at 44 of 76 (it's missing in R3 and T2). That's the coverage each carrier reports to the FCC, not a measured signal, so under trees or below a ridge it can be weaker.

How we know Sources and limits
Shade, sun and Starlink are our estimates from Meta and the World Resources Institute’s canopy-height model (about 2 m pixels, from satellite imagery calibrated with space lidar; CC BY 4.0). From 2 m above each site we trace 72 lines out to 60 m and note the tallest tree in each direction. Shade counts trees overhead, the canopy within 30 m and how much of the afternoon sky is blocked. Sun counts how open the southern sky is. Starlink needs open sky above 35°, with the northern half counted twice because US dishes tilt north, and we keep the best spot within 8 m of the site’s post. The model sees tree heights only, not trunks, buildings or hills, so check with the Starlink app when you arrive.
Slope is the ground at each site’s post over about 4 m, from USGS 3DEP 1 m lidar: level under 2%, gentle to 4% (most rigs level on blocks), sloped to 8% (fine for a tent), steep beyond.
Cell coverage is from the FCC Broadband Data Collection (carrier filings as downloaded May 2026): each site is tested against each carrier’s modelled outdoor 4G/5G coverage. It is what the carriers report, not a measured signal.
Weather is NOAA’s 1991–2020 climate normals for the campground. Sites and facts are from Recreation.gov’s open data (July 2026). Map imagery: USGS The National Map.
From the campground’s Recreation.gov listing: “Brushy Creek features 62 RV campsites with water and electric hookups. There are also 37 tent campsites, 12 of these sites have electricity available. Restrooms with showers are located in each section of the park. Trash receptacles are located throuhout the park. A boat ramp, courtesy dock, playground, swimming beach, fishing dock, and sewer dump station are also provided. Lake O' the Pines includes about 18,700 acres of water and 9,000 acres of land, encompassing an area so large it spans five counties. The lake was created by the construction of the Ferrell's Bridge Dam on the Big Cypress Bayou. The reservoir was originally created as part of the overall plan for flood control in the Red River Basin below Denison Dam in Oklahoma, and has now become a recreational oasis for outdoor enthusiasts.”
