No camp fires nor charcoal fires. 2 inside fireplaces and you can't use them. No trash dumpers anywhere around. Corners of cabin can see daylight. Mice are plenty with large hole around a/c lines.

Nothing to do no water in lakes. No fishing. Park ranger stuck ticket on windshield because I was reading the cabin and they're on there no lights at all. The bathrooms are super small is not that clean cracks through the corners of the outside you know that tree right there where we sat I think that's where they're hanging out because that's where the other one is.

Stayed in the deluxe cabin with my family this weekend…read more Very nice hotel-like accommodations. Great location close to downtown Bastrop which worked out perfectly since the Patriotic Festival was this weekend. From the top of the hill near the entrance you had a good view of the fireworks. Since we had grilled and just started eating when the 1st fireworks began, we watched from the cabin. Aside from the highway, we could see the whole show from the side. The owners, the Kitays, are super friendly and knowledgeable. The campgrounds are well-kept and clean. There are all options of camping available. We checked out the pool and splashpad which my 5-year-old enjoyed. Highly recommend and would love to come back!

I love the pine trees and views from some of the trails. The campground is lovely as well. Very clean. Spaces are large. People are respectful. But... A big con is the traffic noise at night! We stayed in the Copperas Creek Camping Area, which is quite close to the road, so we expected some noise. But it was intense both noise. A loud, long crash woke me up in the middle of the night, with a second crash crashing into the debris from the first one. That whole incident kept me up for 2 hours. I don't know if the other campgrounds in the park are any better. The park is nestled in a populated area so I doubt it. But the trails and area are beautiful!! So I would definitely recommend for hiking!! Not so much tent camping... (maybe it's better in an RV?).

We stopped by Bastrop State Park on a whim while driving to Austin, and it ended up being a great…read moredecision. It's less than a 2-hour drive from Houston and under an hour from Austin, which makes it an easy add to a road trip. I especially appreciated that the entrance is right off Highway 71, so you're not wasting a bunch of time driving deep into back roads just to get to the park. We visited on a beautiful Saturday in January -- sunny and in the 50s, basically perfect hiking weather. While there are plenty of trees throughout the park, many of the trails are fairly exposed, so you get a lot of sun. Definitely bring sunscreen, even in cooler weather. The trails are wide and well-maintained, with sand and rocks laid down in many areas, making them easy to walk. The terrain is nicely hilly but nothing too difficult (we did about 4 miles total). One thing to note: trail signage is a bit limited, and it would be easy to get turned around and know where to turn. Thankfully, I had decent cell reception (T-Mobile) and was able to use Google Maps to track where we were. Parking was easy, the staff were friendly, and the landscape was beautiful. We used our Texas State Parks annual pass, which saved us the $15 entrance fee, and the entry process was quick and simple. The line of cars trying to get in was only 2. I'd love to come back in the spring when everything is blooming. Overall, a great stop if you want scenic views, manageable trails, and a convenient location. Highly recommend if you're on your way to Houston or Austin. There's also a Buccees just a few miles away!

Staff is nowhere to be seen. The bathrooms are dirty. My daughter went into the gift shop to purchase some fishing worms and they were all dead. The girl at the counter told her that dead worms were better than live worms because the smelled bad, but who wants to touch nasty, rotting worms? We had to go to the gas station down the road to buy minnows, which was out of the way and more expensive. People were drinking and partying loudly. It's no longer a nice quiet park to take your family to. The glamping tents have taken up too many camp spots which gives normal campers less spaces to rent. Management is trying to make this a park for rich yuppies and are forgetting the local folks make this park what it is. The water is too hot in the summer to swim. No playscape for small children, so small kids have nothing to do if the water is hot.

Our pups were huge fans, too. We got to sit out in the hot tub and enjoy how nice and quiet it was and we loved checking out Bastrop since we had never been! The bed was comfortable and it had a great shower and running water! The only couple of things that we noted we wish were "better" was the lake itself was HOT! It's a cooling reservoir for the nearby power plant so we weren't able to actually enjoy the water and with a Texas summer cold water = best scenario. SO, would recommend lake activities in the fall/winter for that reason! And also, the doors are beautiful on the cabin but since we are in nature bugs will come inside. We turned on ambiance lighting the last night we were there and the bugs had a party. With the doors being slider doors they aren't flush to the wall and have much easier ways for the bugs to come inside, so be aware of that! Other than those couple pieces, we really loved it and had a wonderful time!

Summer camp had many troops from varied cities in Texas. This summer was the first year that both girls and boy camped out together on separate campsites. I love the complimentary souvenir cups they pass out at lunch time. On site scout shop do not allow you to bring in any backpacks, including camel bags must be left outside. They do not give you the option of leaving your bag behind their counter either. I was allow to pack my handbag inside. Improvements can be made, like offering maps of the camp sites when parents check in for family day. And possibly adding a restroom near the main camp fire for families with small children and grandparents could use verses walking a mile to the check in office. Especially since females are attending theses events. No military discount are offered from the scout shop. If parents plan to eat ticket cost $8. The sweet tea is AMAZING!

It was our first time kayaking & we didn't know what to expect on the river but Linda quickly put us at ease. She was very knowledgeable about the river & explained how to navigate it & things to look out for. We were shuttled to the launch site, given a quick lesson on how to hold & use the paddles & we were on our way. Despite the heat, the river was pretty cool (glad we brought insulated water bottles & a cooler with snacks). It was peaceful & the water was calm & we made it to the end without tipping over. We saw lots of turtles, birds, even a few cows taking a dip. At the end two huge blue herons flew across the river right in front of us...it was a great experience & we can't wait to do it again. Highly recommend this company- the reservation process was easy (we just called the day before) & the everything was provided (dry bags & life vests included), the price is very reasonable & the local knowledge was exceptional.

I wish that I could give less than 1 star here…read more I used to serve at the same church as this man and we had a pretty deCent relationship up until he started to post some very hateful and homophobic things on his Facebook page specifically targeting the gay community, like myself, completely unprovoked. JD has posted these things not only to communicate his personal thoughts but also to simply cause and stir a ruckus within the community for entertainment. I'm disgusted by his behavior, saddened by his lack of sympathy/empathy for my community, and simply do not tolerate his actions. I would not want my children around someone like this EVER. The demoralizing energy he's given off, is not of God. The hateful spite is not of the divine. The trolling demeanor is not nice. And moreover, I wouldn't trust my money or time with him. I highly suggest going elsewhere. Have a blessed day Attached are a few photos of his heinous posts. Do you want someone like this entertaining you?
