There aren't any trails to hike, but it's fun to take your well equipped vehicle muddin' through the rugged paths. I love the open fields to lay in the grass and listen to "Children by Robert Miles" , so tranquil. If you want to get into the water or fish, there's a body of water. I dipped my toe in it and it was icy cold. I absolutely loved this day spending time enjoying nature. Don't sleep on this recreation park. There's restrooms onsite.

Krause Springs was such a peaceful, whimsical little escape. The amount of lush greenery and…read moremassive old trees was unreal. Some of the tree roots were the biggest and most unique I've ever seen in my life. The whole place just had such a calm, magical feeling to it. One thing to note is that there are a LOT of stairs in many locations and most are very steep, so it's definitely not stroller-friendly if you are a family with young ones. If you're bringing little ones, just be mindful and watch your step going down the stairs toward the springs. The property itself is absolutely beautiful. You can either camp overnight or purchase a day pass. From what I remember, day passes were $10 per adult, kids under 3 were free, and camping was around $21 a night. They close the springs at 8:00 pm and for campers quiet time is from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am. No loud generators allowed for campers. They had so many little hidden coves and tucked-away areas where you could set up camp, which made it feel really private and peaceful. I was also very impressed with how clean everything was. The bathrooms and showers were pristine, very sanitary, and conveniently located within walking distance of the entrance. One surprise I didn't expect was that they also have a separate swimming pool in addition to the springs, which ended up being great because the water at the springs was a little murky the day we went due to recent rain. Still gorgeous to look at though, especially with the waterfall. It honestly felt surreal, like you forgot you were still in Texas. They also have a beautiful butterfly garden with tons of unique plants and greenery that made the experience interesting. Overall, this place just gave off such a good feeling. Peaceful, relaxing, beautiful, and definitely a must-see if you enjoy nature. We'll absolutely be returning again.

The man-made pool has spring water; this is where I would recommend families with children or inexperienced swimmers go. It's lovely and more of a managed pool setting. We hiked down the stone steps to reach the natural springs which are so beautiful with a picturesque mini waterfall and a rope swing as well! However swimming here can be treacherous. I highly recommend water shoes as there are lots of rocks and moss in the springs. Water depth also varies greatly from one spot to another so it's important to be aware of that. Water temperature was comfortable and cool - felt great on a hot summer day. Wrapped up our visit in the garden, which is so beautifully maintained. Absolutely lovely and zen. The changing room and bathroom facilities are clean and easily accessible. We left feeling dry, happy, and peaceful after a wonderful day in nature.

The campsites are set on top of each other, therefore you will be within 10ft of another group. This would be fine if your neighbors are respectful. The restrooms (portapotties) weren't very clean either. However, the campsites did have plenty of shade, a table, campfire, and bbq grill. Could be a cool place if you're lucky enough to be near good people. We ended up leaving in the middle of the night. Unfortunately no refunds :(

She did explain to me thats its rustic camping, no bells, no whistles, no shower or toilet house, and no store. I told her that was fine by me. She gave us the awesome site with the cement patio. We parked our fifth wheel so our door of the camper was facing the river. We loved it. It was such a beautiful view. We also brought our 14 yr old daughter and her friend. Believe it or not BUT THEY BOTH SAID THEY HAD A GREAT TIME playing in the water and sliding in and out of some cement looking slides that are by the road. Mind you, they did bring their phones with (urrrggg) But they recorded themselves having fun. Wish we could have taken those phones, but hey, we got them out and into nature and thats all we can ask for. LOL We even found quite a bit of beautiful rocks in the river, even some Llanite. My first 3 peices of Llanite. I was so happy. My husband looked at me funny, when I knew what they were called. I researched what people find on our way up there from Houston. Great being the passenger some times : ) They do state on their website that you can dig on the campground property, and you get to keep what you find. We loved that. We are no rockhounds, but after finding some nice pieces, I've been very interested in rocks now. The campground had what was needed for trailer camping. They had the water, electric and full hook up. What more do you need? As long as your camper has a toilet and shower, your golden. Get out there on the river.....Bring your chairs, Bring your coolers, And have fun! Your on vacation. You will find on a hot day, you can just walk down the hill to get to the water. Next thing you know, lots of cars are pulling up on the road and everyone else is gonna join you in the river with chairs and a cooler. Everyone stays to themselves and its very peaceful! Your trip is what you make it to be. Kingsland slab gives you the site and the rest is up to you! We will be going back to Kingsland slab this year as well.

Also, this is a very basic campground....although there are full hook ups, there are no concrete slabs & no bells and whistles. A little more upkeep on clearing brush and over grown tree limbs would allow a river view on some of the sites. Just a few improvements would really bump the place up. All in all we enjoy our stay & camp hosts are very nice.

The treehouse itself was amazing and it was a dream come true for us as we have both wanted to stay in a treehouse since we were kids! I mean who doesn't have a childhood dream of staying in a treehouse but there's not many opportunities to do so growing up in a city. We had a relaxing 2 days here where we enjoyed the soaking tub, read in the reading nook, laid out on Big Joe, had our morning tea and coffee outside in nature, bird watching and so much more! It was so quiet and its truly just a time for you to connect with nature. The treehouse itself is beautiful, modern and the layout and design is truly thought out to immerse you in nature. You are surrounding by trees whichever glass window you look at. It is so quiet, you feel suspended in the trees! My favorite part of the treehouse which I had figured out the moment I was leaving was that everything you pour into the kitchen sink...goes right to the floor 30 feet down. Water gets poured back into nature below! My hubby was pouring out the tea I did not finish and I just so happened to be standing outside the front door with our luggage when I heard loud water being splashed. I peaked down and saw the tea go straight down. That was the coolest! I had booked this trip way before COVID and due to the pandemic, the zip lining tour was cancelled. But, it's ok as we still had a fantastic time staying here! The price for the Yoki per night is very expensive and I would recommend for the owners to at least provide breakfast every morning. A hand delivered breakfast would be a very nice touch. Shout out to Shelby for keeping me in the loop the whole time and when I needed shower gel & Kleenex she arranged for it to happen. Keep in mind this is nature and there are bugs/insects everywhere. The restroom is a place were they like to hide. We saw spiders, scorpions, grasshopper, centipedes, wasps in there. FYI- there is no body lotion or hair dryer in case those things are important to you, please bring those! Otherwise everything else that a hotel normally has, is provided. We had such a great time and my hubby is so happy and surprised that I booked such a beautiful place to share with him!
