Go if

Families with kids ages 8-12 who want more than a swim day: the summer camps here teach archery, rope-making, and spear-throwing on the Lake LBJ shoreline. Register early, spots fill up and reviews back that up.

Skip if

Amenity details are nearly nonexistent, fees for the organized camps add up fast with multiple kids, and adult campers without children enrolled in a program will find little structure here beyond the lake access.
