Learn more about alerts →Spring wildflower season is when this place clicks: late March bluebonnets on limestone hills, the 6.5-mile Great Escape trail mostly shaded, kayak rentals on Lake Travis, and site #23 or group site #37 for the best spacing. Hard to beat at $5 per person.
Restroom cleanliness is a real, recurring problem, not a one-off complaint. No water hookups, no water at sites, and some bathrooms are a long walk from your tent. If clean facilities are non-negotiable, this one will frustrate you.

Spring offers the best conditions with daytime highs in the mid-60s to low-80s°F and cool evenings. Bluebonnets peak late March to early April, making this the prime season for hiking, biking, and shoreline activities. Summer temperatures push above 90°F with humidity, though lake access helps. Fall brings comfortable camping weather. Winter stays mild enough for year-round use. Reviewers recommend bringing extra water for long hikes regardless of season.
Peak season for bluebonnet blooms and ideal hiking/biking conditions; highly recommended.
