Many sites have partial shade. I camped in #30 and it was shaded all morning. In addition to the half court basketball ball court, there is a portable tennis net and two sets of corn hole games. There are no grills so bring your own. There are plenty of restaurants, gas stations and a Walmart within a 10 minute drive.

We really enjoyed this little place. It's really out in the middle of nowhere. We rented a cabin…read morefor the night and were pleasantly surprised. The cabin was very clean and worked great for our family of four. The only hiccups with the cabin is the microwave didn't work...so no popcorn for my son. They also don't provide either shampoo or soap... or maybe it's a combo. They have one pump on the wall but no clue what it is. The grounds have lots to do. There is a fishing pond but it looked very drained. They have a little inside area with a pool table, games and puzzles. Outside they have a playscape, volleyball net and fire pit. The highlight of the trip had to be the animals. While the petting zoo is cute, you can't really get in with the animals. At the safari, we spent so much time laughing!!! Beware of the ostrich... it is aggressively after your food!!! We had so much fun. The main animals that eat from you are at the beginning and end.

I think we were the only RV camping this weekend that wasn't longer term so it was super quiet. We pulled up and immediately had ostrich checking us out. The kids loved it. RV pad was gravel but pretty level. There's no shade but if the trees at each site survive it will eventually provide some relief. The site has water, electric, your own dump drain and a picnic table. The bathrooms were clean with showers and laundry facilities. The youngest enjoyed the play area and we all liked the petting zoo area. The driving safari was fun. We went early so it was still cool and the animals we're still active. We saw pretty much everything that was on the brochure except the watusi. Yes, the land is suffering due to the drought and heat but that is all of central Texas right now. The animals all looked healthy and had multiple water sources available. Plus lots of babies! The baby bison, including a nearly white one, were super cute. The adults were impressive. We had a very inquisitive ostrich who reached through the window to take a whole bag of food! I grabbed it back but it was pretty hilarious. He knows the system! As do the llamas. We did a second drive through around 4pm and the heat had driven most of the animals to the shade but we did get better views of the wildebeest and more attention from all the bison. That evening we dropped in to the community room and played pool and some board games. Yes, some of the items are hard worn and need replacing, but for kids it was still plenty fun. The woman working the front desk was super friendly and helpful. Overall, we'll worth the hour or so drive here to get away for the weekend. Almost anything you need you can get from a dollar store about a mile away.

I visited Colorado Bend SP earlier today, and I'll admit that I wasn't expecting it to be so far…read moreout of the way. That's not necessarily a negative, but just something to note. Getting there was very straightforward, but cell reception is very limited there. I was prepared with offline maps so that didn't bother me. The road takes you right to the entrance of the park. There's an unattended booth up front, but I self-registered myself at the check-in station over to the side. There was a pen provided that I used to fill out one of the forms, and dropped it in the locked box with my information. I came here to hike to Gorman Falls today. Part of the road that leads to the trailhead was flooded, but I was able to drive through it with a standard SUV. The road was rocky in some areas and gravel the rest. A high-clearance vehicle isn't needed. There was plenty of parking at the trailhead, along with a restroom with a composting toilet. The trail was well-marked and shaded the first 1/3 of the trail. The rest of the way is exposed to the sun until you get to the fork in the trail that leads to Gorman Falls. There is a bike rack here as the last section is hiking only. The rock face is quite steep towards the bottom, but there were ropes that guided me down. I had my dog with me and I had to carry it at one point just to get down. Because of the rains this past week, water was flowing at the falls. You can't hike to the falls, but there is an observation deck with some benches to relax in the shade here. Returning back up the rock wall was easier than the way down. I also stopped by the park headquarters, about 5 miles down from the entrance of the park. They had a nice selection of gifts and souvenirs for purchase, and plenty of brochures for nearby state parks. The only option for camping here is primitive; there is no plumbing available, other than a spigot for potable water. Overall, this park was well-maintained and I would return for a second visit. Being just 1.5 hours away from NW Austin, Colorado Bend SP makes for a good day trip option with little traffic to and back.

My boyfriend and I made a weekend trip to come here. We spent one day at the park, you really need…read moretwo or more days! We went to three different trails, and both were beautiful. Gorman falls I feel like is the most popular. There were so many people there! We saw the water fall and got to walk along the river bend. Then we went to the spring trail, that place was magical! It looked like a hobbit home!!! E we made it to the spring, but sadly you are not allowed to get in it. Finally we made it to the spice trail, but we were barely able to make it out in time, it was not a good decision, we did have to hike-run about 2 miles in the dark, I was freaking out. So message to all it's make sure you are not hiking too late because it waspitch black. Luckily we had outdoor flashlights and made it, but it felt like it was never ending. The trail is awesome, we crossed over the river several times, it's like a maze to get through, and the top was beautiful, but yeah we didn't get to enjoy the last two miles. Overall this was an awesome park to visit! I'm excited to keep exploring Texas parks
