Tejas Park

Amazing place

It’s a nice place to camp and hike. But, the outhouses are horrible because the smell is overwhelming.

There is a "host" on-site, but each time there the host is off duty, no one fir questions, helpn if needed. What's the point

Stayed in site 11 with our small group of backpacking scouts. Plenty of room for the tents.

Sites are too close together for what it is. I don't go camping just to have a neighbor ten feet away.

There have been obvious improvements to the park and the campsites over the last few years. It's good to see the investment into this resource.

Noisy at night.

Place is clean, the camping spots are nice and in great conditions, they are kind of close to each other so there's not much privacy, also you'll have to carry all your gear from the parking lot to the camping area, keep this in mind when picking a camping site.

A clean primitive camping tent site with no electricity. There are Toilet port-O-Potty's available but no showers or sinks. Water can be collected behind the park hosts campsite for hauling to your campsite. The campsites all come with crushed granite platforms and grassy areas around you. Most have large trees for shade as well. Each camp site comes with a grill and picnic table and a dedicated metal pole for hanging your water or shower apparatus. There is no way to park beside your campsite so you must park in the provided areas and haul in from the parking lot. This can be a long walk so bring a suitable wagon or other way to haul in your camp gear.

The North Fork of the San Gabriel river is feet away and you can kayak, fish and swim in the water down under the bridge. Kayaking may or may not be optimal based on rain fall and lack of rain fall can make the river very shallow and only ankle deep in some spots and too rocky to Kayak on. One mile down stream from the bridge will lead you into Lake Georgetown. Fishing is fun and easy in most spots but it is recommended you leave the small fish and crayfish for only "catch and release".

There is a very long shaded walking path you can use that can be quite nice to walk with your dog. Remember that the temperatures in June/July/Aug/Sept can be about 112F on some days so don't forget to hydrate and wear very good sunscreen. The primitive camping is tough to do when the temperatures are high and this location may be be more fun to access in the later months of the year to be able to experience grilling, camp fires and cool fresh air for comfortable sleeping. RV's are not permitted here, just tents.

There is on onsite caretaker on the property all the times. Please be kind and respectful to him. Check in's with Rec.org DO NOT require you to talk to the onsite caretaker so please don't bother him during your check-in. Simple, use this site to book your campsite, pay for it and go directly to it and set up your camp.
