The only drawback is I had to rent a campsite for the day in order to get a fire blazing. Kind of sucked since I wasn't planning on spending the night. Oh well! It was all still worth it as I supported nature and TPWD. The hiking trails were challenging and invigorating. Thankfully they were also very clearly marked. They were a challenge with all the natural rock and rock cliffs. Penitentiary Hollow was the main attraction of the hike. Wow, Lake Mineral Wells rocks with awesomeness! Please camp here!

That said, they did have our information in a box for after hours check in. The bathrooms were great, spacious, clean and plentiful. The showers have great water pressure and adjustable shower heads. They're right next to the laundry that looked to be $3 a load. We had a back in waterfront location and it was great to be able to just hop in the water. There's also a few marinas and a pool on-site. We ran out of drinking water and were a bit bummed there wasn't a water refill station and the office was closed which I believe is where the store is. It's dog friendly and had a small dog park.

So easy to pull in. That was the first thing that I noticed. After we pulled in we took showers and…read morethe bathrooms are a 10/10. They are nice and big. They also are just what you need after driving for 14 hours one day and 7 hours the next. Overall, an amazing experience.

The toilet seat in the master slides to one side every single time. The window AC is loud but I'm grateful it's there! We chose the self clean option and the reservation email said instructions were in the cabin. They are nowhere to be found. The coffee pot has burned coffee from a prior guest on the bottom and looked dirty. Kitchen utensils are bare minimum. Not even a toaster. Note to self... bring paper plates and plastic utensils! The toilet in the laundry room flushes very slowly. The full size bed in the secondary bedroom was the most comfortable but still not a great mattress. When we got here all of the cabins had spiderwebs and cobwebs. I would have expected the decks to be swept or hosed down but the chairs, tables and grills were all dirty. (don't forget charcoal!) The staff is friendly and the French fries and onion rings in the restaurant were pretty good. The rest of the food mediocre but we were grateful it was there as I didn't want to use any of the kitchen supplies after seeing the bugs and cobwebs. I think I just expected too much. Had I know that it was VERY rustic, dated and brought my own cooked food and cleaning supplies I may give the third star. Maybe I'm just too bugie. ‍

There is a posting not to feed them because they can get sick. I think someone must have fed one of them because he was lying pretty much lifeless in the grass. Po thang! There's lots of camping areas, group picnic sites, a boat ramp, disc golf, walking trails (um negative for me), equestrian camping, a dining hall, swimming area, fishing pier, parking everywhere and lots of BUGS!!!!

The most serene and tranquil part of this park is the lake that constantly whisks fresh breezes off of it while listening to the trees rustle in its wind. Within the park itself is a 2.6 mile concrete hike and bike trail that runs from the southern tip of the park at Fairway Avenue to the dam on the lake. There are public restrooms, a modular playground, basketball goals, drinking fountains, and many picnic areas. There are also 2 lighted baseball fields, 2 lighted softball fields, 3 lighted football fields, and an 18 hole disc golf course.

I tried their Make Your Own Mac & Cheese and it did not disappoint! The portion size was more than ample which means I have leftovers for tomorrow! There are booths and tables inside with a bar area as well as tables outside. Beautiful views of the marina complete the atmosphere.

We didn't ride around to see what all there is, but did see a playground for the kids if you keep going straight when you enter the Park.

The only reason i took a star off is there are two parts of the park. The area with the lake is several miles away, while you can camp on that side, there are no cabins. And the beach is nothing special. My other complaint was the showers are quite a walk from our cabin.
