Franklin Mountains State Park Campground
Reviewed May. 20, 2022

Gorgeous and spread out camp sites

May is the time to go when no one else is there for tent camping! Pretty views and trails to explore. Even a cave up the hill a little ways to explore. I don’t have a problem with primitive camping when places like this offers gorgeous views and a peaceful place to sleep. 

I was on my way to Austin TX from California to visit my daughter and this was a destination I had on the map along my car camping route. Apparently I was late (said they close at 5 but apparently they close sooner) to get into the gate for first come but a gentle sole of an angle ranger Caesar let me in as I promised to pay in the morning when the gift shop was open to take payment at 8 am. Long story short, he made my day and I would love to go back and visit again given the opportunity. Loved this setup of a hidden gem from city lights and noise.

SiteThe best one in the whole park!
