Nice park with several interesting trails. Clean, well maintained, great hosts, educational rangers' programs, beautiful golf course. All RV sites are good: premium ones close to a golf course, water and electrical sites only are more in the woods.
This is no Big Bend, but that does not make it a poor park. It is very pleasant, and quiet. We really enjoyed riding our bikes around and there's a fun hill to ride down. There is also a golf course that looks very well maintained. It would be a nice a place for some simple car camping for a quick weekend getaway. I will be back.
I am a state park pass holder so I go to many Texas State Parks. Staff was friendly, rv campers were friendly but this is a tiny state park with very little besides a golf course and campgound. Limited trails, in the woods alonga creek no river, no lake. I think the state should just sell this park to a company that operates campgrounds. Seems like a poor use of taxpayer funds.
This is the only SP that I know of that has a golf course-and a pretty nice one at that. Also has a pretty big pool. Not a whole lot of camping areas.
Reading previous reviews, this state park seems to divide opinion. We headed over to this park, dropping in to see the historic area of Lockhart on the way. My wife and I received the warmest of welcomes at the reception area. We were there to walk the short trails, and we wondered if we would be wandering around a golf course or through rv camp sites, but neither proved to be the case. We had a very pleasant time following the well-marked trails. We spent about 3 hours in the park and would recommend dropping by to any visitors to the area.
First time RV er. Rained. Staff not friendly. Never even saw the host. No internet or phone service. Since we don't golf we won't be back Not sure why this is a state park. We are tx park pass holders
This little park has a small golf course and lots of trails. There are 20 RV sites in two different areas; one on the golf course and one in a quiet, secluded, woody area. There are several short trails which interconnect to provide about three miles of easy hiking with some elevation. Park staff is especially cheery and helpful.
We stay at this CCC constructed park often and use it's secure, peaceful location as base of operations for surrounding areas of interest, including Austin, San Marcos and corridor hwy malls. The RV sites vary in amenities. The 'nature' creek side, is basic water and elec, the rv dump station is convenient, as is shower and restroom. This is a rural quiet state park, shady, with squirrels and birds. Trails with markings and descriptive stops can provide hours of natural ambiance. "The highest altitude hole in Texas" is one claim to fame. As RVers, we enjoy the full hookups in 'The Circle', whenever we are able to find an open site. The 9 hole golf course fairway passes near the circle. Evening and morning Deer are often browsing on the fairways. Small fish are stocked periodically and always seem hungry. Fishing is open without a license, nice for out of state campers. Several dams provide deeper pools for the larger fish. Children's play area is close to parking lot.Walking the course after the day's players have left, is peaceful and browsing Deer pay little attention. The pool (including wading pool for small kids) is open in the summer and welcomes groups. A yearly Texas State Park Pass works very well for us, as we often accumulate free nights along with the free entrance.
It is a very well maintained little park just outside of town. Very nice little 9 hole golf course if you like to add $11 to your park fee per person.
Went for a long weekend trip, and to play golf, loved it. The park attendants and host, very nice, friendly ,helpful. Had a great time playing golf, I agree the trails are very short, but some great views. Loved... Blacks BBQ! We will for sure go again when we have a short 3 day weekend in the fall or spring.
