Beautiful state park with lots to do. MTB, kayaking, hiking, swimming, etc

Great campground with clean bathrooms and roomy sites!

Just a hop, skip, and jump from Houston, but a piney gem. Great trails, super camping, and wildlife galore.

I took the whole family for a weekend getaway. We loved the park, it was our first time tent camping here and it did not disappoint. It has a swimming area, trails, fishing, and playgrounds. The park was very nice and clean, the showers had door! We will definitely come back.

This was our first trip with our kiddos in tent and we cannot wait to go back!! Site 146 was amazing!!

Campsites are close together and there were a lot of people around. It was pretty loud with music and people later into the night. Canoeing was good on the lake and good mountain biking trails.

There is good fishing in the lake (it's a popular place to fish, but I haven't personally fished there). The picnic area and day use area are full of large trees. Area is well maintained, and didn't feel like a short day trip from Houston!

Wonderful trails. Clear and well marked. Primitive (water only) tent sites on lakeshore side leave the camper hunting flat surfaces while avoiding runoff pathways. However the dip shields you from stormy winds. Be ready to share the park. Lots of day trippers enjoy this piece of bliss so close to Houston. Trails are marked for foot and bicycle travel. Birdwatchers bring your glasses and journals, you will not be disappointed.

I camp here twice yearly, most years. In early to mid October and usually late April to early May. I love the shelters by the lake, the ability to rent canoes, the trees and the park employees keep it up really well. There are multiple level trail hikes and last May I finally completed one. I intend on doing that again, while I am there, this coming weekend. It is a lovely park! Lots of campsites, RV spots, shelters, there is just one basic cabin at this time, a swimming area, store and so much more.

We took our family here on a Texas state park camping trip. The park rangers explain basics of camping. It was a great experience for our family. The park is very family friendly and tent friendly. It is on a lake that has fishing, kayaking and paddle boats. The facilities were nice and clean.

The camping space I had was very large with water access for my Kayak. The camping was a little noisy with some neighbors playing music but at least they were enjoying it. There's a lot of trails to hike and smooth roads for bike riding. There's a designated swimming area and canoes that can be rented. I will say its pretty hot camping in August.

This park offer a little of everything and a whole lot of fun. Camping, Hiking, cycling, and fishing are just a few of the activities offered here.

Located on the west edge of the east Texas piney woods, this state park features excellent RV and tent camping facilities, and a beautiful network of heavily forested trails. The lake offers canoeing, kayaking, swimming and fishing, and affords visitors an occasional glimpse of alligators. We love this place.

Love the trails but man not a single site is level so be prepared to level your RV and if you are in a tent I would never recommend it. we drove around to all the sites thinking maybe it was just our area but nope all are uneven. We went into town to buy more scissor jacks to help level us. Never had that problem at any other State Park

Good campground with several small loops for campers in groups. The beach is pretty far away from some sites. Like any state park though, the evenings can get loud with music and people.

There's decent fishing, a dedicated swim area, a small lake you can take boats out with trolley motor only, miles and miles of good hiking and biking trails.

I really love this park. Great space between camp sites, nice hiking trails and lake. We came here in the spring during the week and the only disappointment I had was that the only time you can get on the paddle boats as during the weekend and summertime. I was looking forward to the paddle boats. :-(

I camped here in April with my pupper. We hiked the trail around the lake. Some trails were closed due to recent storm damaged, but I am sure they fixed it in a timely manner. Lots of wildlife. I saw five gators in my 3 day stay. Lots of birds and turtles.

Huntsville Park is a nice little park that is a getaway from the city. We have hiked all the trails and camped here a couple times. The facilities are nice and the staff is helpful!

This is an awesome State park with extensive hiking and biking trails (some are still closed from Harvey though...). There is great camping spots, trails, fishing, and swimming!

Okay okay so I live in Huntsville Texas which means I have been to Huntsville State Park more times than I can count. There's a fee to get in but it's not too bad. We like to go fishing with our day pass however you will not ever catch anything. I don't know why but the fishing sucks. Also there's crocodiles. However the campsite overall is really pretty we haven't stayed overnight here so I don't know about that.

excellent facilities, great mountain bike trails, fairly clean bathrooms, good fishing, nice swimming hole.

We loved our campsite and this beautiful park. We got to use our kayaks, go fishing, swimming, and hike also. It was just gorgeous! We actually had our campsite in a perfect place for we could put our kayaks in and out of the water right behind our tent.

4 of us stayed one night, the park hosts were all lovely and made sure we had everything we needed. This is a great park for families with young kids. There are alligators in the lake but we never saw any. Raccoons and other wild life are around as well but they have high hooks for your garbage bags to prevent them getting into it. Clean bathrooms and showers, very close to camp sites. Some sites have electric and water options which come in handy, just bring a long extension cord. Went during early March, weather was lovely.

I stayed here for my second week after camping in Sam Houston forest for almost a week. The place was slightly better than camping in sam houston. We managed to get a site right next to the water. The site was a little bigger than camping in sam Houston. There was a lot of people swimming in the water but not close to our campsite. They were swimming further down. The locals said there were a lot of catfish but we were not able to catch any after trying for some time. The fee to enter the park was 5 dollars as we were leaving because we did not enter through the main entrance to the park.

We live cclose to this state park. So it is easy for us to get away to camp here. We have been 2 times this yr. Always make your revation,because the camp do fill up fast. We hiked, swam, and fished. We had lots fun fun meeting new people. Just remember not scouts use this camp a lot to go camping.

Huntsville Park was an absolute blast. Be sure to throw your trash away in the provided dumpsters before night fall. We had a visitor (coyote or similar) who tried to break into our camper. Thankfully, our dogs scared it away.

Fishing was good, so was kayaking!

Friendly neighbors as well.
