Krause Springs

Really enjoyed this place! My friends and I are planning to come back next month! The water is cold so keep that in mind! I loved their little garden area ❤️

This hidden little paradise was absolutely worth the trip and every penny of the $11 entrance fee. 🌿💧

The natural spring pool was fresh, crystal clear, and deliciously cool against the Texas heat, the kind of water that instantly resets your nervous system the second you slip in. What made it feel almost enchanted was the way the spring flowed into a fern and moss draped waterfall, spilling gently into another beautiful swimming area below. It looked like something tucked inside a forgotten rainforest painting.

The grounds are thoughtfully set up for an entire day of relaxing and exploring. Plenty of picnic tables and benches made it easy to spread out coolers, snacks, towels, and all the supplies for a carefree day outdoors without feeling crowded or chaotic. There’s also ample space for camping and RVing, making it easy to turn a day trip into a full nature escape.

The gardens themselves deserve their own standing ovation. Winding through the blooms and greenery felt peaceful and restorative, like strolling through a living postcard. Everywhere you looked there was another quiet corner, another burst of color, another reason to pause for a moment.

This place manages to be both refreshing and grounding at the same time. A perfect blend of adventure, tranquility, and old fashioned outdoor joy.

10/10 experience! I think maybe this place isn’t real - it is so beautiful and peaceful. We spent lots of time reading on the hammocks in the lovely gardens, listening to wind chimes. We cooled off in the spring and swam behind the water falls into the caves behind. We climbed over GIANT twisting tree roots which look so cool. We loved our tent camping experience, found a nice area away from others on a not busy weekend. Plenty of camp sites to choose from (no reservation needed for the tent camping - and they say they’ve never filled up, so no worries there). The bathrooms nearest to the springs are bare minimum, but the main bath house near the office is a great bathroom with stone walls. The water in the showers is spring water, so it is cold (but that’s ok on a warm day). Bring bug spray and water shoes. Water shoes are a must if visiting the spring, because the rocks are many and slippery - LOTS of falling and slipping happening on those rocks. We would love to visit again!

Great camping experience and beautiful views! 🤩
We booked a tent space with electricity and ended up being right in between two other sites already set up. The owner came and let us know we could move to a more primitive site without electricity if we wanted more space, which was so nice and we ended up moving to an open space! Both spaces were great, but we appreciated the offer to move!
There is a great rope swing into the springs, and the pool space was very clean and kept up well! The entire property is stunning! We would absolutely recommend camping here and will be back! 😊😊😊

Visited Krause Springs today, and it was such a refreshing and peaceful experience. The drive to the location was scenic and relaxing, setting the tone for a perfect day outdoors. The entry fee was $10 for adults, which is totally worth it considering how much there is to explore.

I spent time walking through the beautiful garden area, checked out the man-made pool, and climbed over the slippery rocks near the springs — everything was absolutely stunning. The place feels natural, soothing, and scenic, making it a great escape from the city.

I noticed quite a few people camping as well since there’s a dedicated camping ground, which looked like an amazing option for anyone planning an overnight stay. The overall vibe of the place was calm and positive — perfect for solo trips, family outings, or group adventures.

If you’re looking for a beautiful natural spot to unwind, swim, or just connect with nature, Krause Springs is definitely worth visiting.

Perfect for: Day trips, scenic drives, and camping getaways 🌿💦
