Went for a stargazing even by Austin Astronomical society. It was a great event. The star gazing area is well maintained and has a clear view of the horizon.great for milky way photography closer to Austin. There is light pollution along the horizon however it was a pretty good experience. Make sure to take big repellent there were a lot of mosquitoes from the rain a few days ago.

Our first day hike was amazing! The staff were incredibly helpful and made great suggestions and the facilities we clean and well maintained. We booked our reservations ahead of time, which I would highly recommend to anyone who doesn't want to wait or risk being turned away, and the check in was super simple. We'll be back before our next first day hike!

A well maintained park with large camp sites, covered table and fire pit. My pad was long and level, quite secluded. Showers were clean with lots of hot water. The park has many miles of hiking, biking and equestrian trails. They have a nice bird blind maintained by an on-site volunteer. While I did have TV reception cell service with T-moble was mostly non existent, at least where I parked. It's a little off the beaten path but that makes it quiet and very dark at night. I'd go back.

Fantastic state park. We stayed for the night camping, and the tent sites are top tier. Showers are clean and have warm water. You cannot miss going to the actual falls area, its incredible with lots of area to explore especially if you dont mind climbing and hiking

It's one of my favorite state parks in Texas. The water is absolutely gorgeous. The terrain is incrediblely unique due to the river bed erosion. Lots of challenging hikes, so bring a good pair of shoes. One negative thing that I will say is that so many people wrote all over the stones. Almost every inche is covered in graffiti.. Please leave no trace people..

Turned out to be my best sunset in nature during the trip. I was very pleased to get to camp here and scope out the falls before returning the next day for the sunset. It turned out to be the perfect evening with the overcast. I had a nice and tranquil time in the swimming area as well. The river water was nice and warm even in early summer.
