A little gem only an hour out of Houston. This place has been our survival of Houston--the least naturey city I've ever been. We started camping here regularly and love it. The spots can be close together but the views are nice. There's usually a ton of shade and the trails are fun. The bathrooms are old but clean. We've taken a lot of friends here for their first camping trip because it's so accessible to newbies. It's LOVELY in the winter when Texas is a nippy 50-60F. It's a great place to take a day trip too. This place has a special spot in my heart.

Park looked Unmaintained. Campsites we’re trashy, bathrooms were out of order or disgusting. There are leeches in the “lake” that is almost dry. Really disappointed as it seems like it was went down hill over the last few years.

Campsite#33 is partially shaded and very leveled. The site is well maintained and clean. We enjoy the trip very much with very few people at the park.
