Great little park, quiet, clean, and spacious. Also right outside of cold springs with little restaurants, and coffee shops near by.

First-ever camping trip for my boys. Beautiful location. Fishing was easy for first-timers. In a pinch, firewood vendors and gas stations are close to the park entrance.
The park rangers I encountered were excellent and very helpful. We will be back next month

Hosts were great. Trails awesome.
Online pay time limits a hassle; in- person pay only in cash outdated nowadays, particularly when places unstaffed. Maybe give host’s mobile payment system or change online payments policies.
Also, which sites are pad-only or open use unclear and two-tent rule arbitrary. Seems to assume campers only use large family tents?
Still, great recreation area near Houston and well located for outdoor fun!
