  We had a very enjoyable long weekend at the park. Hiked, kayaked, used the bird blinds, and enjoyed the river. We put in at Boone's Crossing and got out at the park. It took us 5.5 hours at a moderate pace with children. The river was pretty low in spots, but we still had a lot of fun. Our campsite was pleasant and shady. The park was full, but the sites are nicely arranged and noise was not a problem. The bird blinds were attractive and well-maintained. I saw my first indigo bunting at the blind near the campground. Fun! We were happy to find this campground and we'll definitely be back.

  Very small park, great for RVs. But not much to see driving through. They close a large section of park after 3 PM because birds start nesting then.

  When we first visited South Llano in May of 2014, We were returning from Dripping Springs on the way back to Ft Davis. we actually found this a pleasant surprise in our travels across TexasThe Park location only 6 miles South of I-10 in Junction was a perfect layover point while traveling with the trailer.The park itself is extremely clean and well maintained, RV services included 20/30 amp electrical, good water and spacious sanitary dump station and dumpsters. The sites are level, no pull-thru's, back-ins only, watch for trees.The heavily wooded camping ares offered plenty of shade, lots of birds including hummers The South Llano River is a short walk away, but further than I would prefer to walk, There is a parking area you can drive to access the river if you like.The restrooms and showers are clean and spacious, often very busy Friday thru Sunday.We have made this our official half way stop when traveling across Texas and using the park system for lodging in the travel trailer.The park rangers are helpful and knowledgeable of the unique area nestled in the hill country of central Texas.We have used this park 4 times this year for 1 or 2 day layovers.We hay stayed here in May, June, August and October. in our 25 ft travel trailer. ask for site # 45 or 46, these are double wides close to the showers.No Complaints about this park.Regards God Bless Texas.

  We camped at this park for three nights while traveling across Texas in our travel trailer. The rangers and staff are all very friendly and helpful. The camp sites are roomy with lots of trees, privacy and trails nearby. A lot of wildlife roam the area and the campground is not far from the river. Rest rooms and showers are extremely clean and easily accessible to anywhere from the campground since the campground is small compared to other locations. The park is well maintained and definately worth a visit. We would definately visit this location again when passing through the area.

  I took my seven year old daughter here for a little 24 hour get away...one thing I noticed was that there were a lot of kids running around which, to me, was a good sign. Our campsite was nestled nicely under and next to lovely shade trees. The ground was soft, making it easy to push in the tent stakes virtually hammer free. The camp itself was nice and quiet except for the pleasant voices of children playing all around...My daughter enjoyed splashing in the river even without getting a tube to float in. We were pleasantly surprised to have two armadillos wander beside our tent early in the evening under the glow of our campfire. In the morning, my daughter was ecstatic to find deer grazing in route to the well kept restrooms. The only disappointment was to not be able to use all the trails for hiking due to the turkey roosting areas being closed this time of year. The weather was perfect, the stars were amazing, and the memories will be everlasting...

  Junction is nestled in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. The small town gets it's name from the joining of the North and South Llano Rivers, and I was fortunate enough to grow up in the area. Looking back, I am so blessed for the experiences I had in and around that river during my youth. The river is certainly an attraction, but (thankfully) it is not an overpopulated one. In fact, I feel as though I grew up in/around a hidden gem of Texas. The rivers run year around, and they stay cool. My favorite pastimes include tubing from "the second crossing to the first," about 10 miles down Hwy. 377 towards Rocksprings. The float is roughly 3 - 4 hours, depending on how much time is spent lounging at the rock area immediately following the small water falls, or on one of 2 rope swings spaced appropriately among the float trip. I grew up on the river, down 377 from Junction the other direction, towards London and Mason. Our ranch is nestled right on the banks of the river, which provided constant entertainment growing up. The wildlife is plentiful, including white tail deer, Axis deer (more recently), turkey, birds, raccoons and other smaller creatures, bass/perch/catfish, and the occasional bobcat and even more occasional mountain lion. Junction is far from the city life, and I appreciate it so much now. A place with expansive open space, fresh air, and the most amazing view of the stars. If you ever find yourself driving through, I encourage you to take the exit into town and follow any road as you are guaranteed to cross the beautiful river.

  4 different bird blinds in different environments, from hill country trail to river bottoms. Nice spacious camp sites with most being shaded. Camp host couple were fantastic!

  This is a very nice and well kept park. Clean with lots of shade and wildlife. Great if you like the river and hiking trails. I would go back and do it again.

  If you r ever in this area highly recommended. First, the camp host was so helpful, bathrooms spotless and wildlife really cool. Only issue is no satellite, phone service or WiFi...if u can get past that visit this park it's worth it.
