We've camped here a few times and I've made a couple day trips. I LOVE this park! I'm a fan of hiking and canoeing while my husband likes to fish. This sprawling park has it all! There are a few different trials of varying lengths. They are nice and have some great views. I'm a fan of loops, and there are a few to hike here. The park offers canoe rentals and they have a good size lake to explore. The lake it smooth and has some fun little areas to explore. The fishing is good. My husband caught mostly sunfish. But the best is the alligator sightings! They are fairly common, which makes fishing an adventure. My camp in our school-bus-turned-RV and those spots are great. They have good showers. There are different t camp grounds, and we prefer the Prairie Branch. We typically try to get the spot next to the dock! For tent campers they also have shelters with power and lights. This is definitely my favorite park.

Lots of little critters came to visit us while we were there. The sites were pretty small but there was space for a tent, a fire ring and a table. There are also bathrooms for the campground so you don't have to "take a hike". We were a short walk from the water and there are lots of hiking trails along the hills a short distance away. It was a good weekend trip.

Good medium hiking up the namesake of the park with some other trails too but the park isn’t very big so really just one night here was ok for us. The drive-up camping was nice but felt kind of small. The heat in mid June was awful but thank god for the shade shelters, showers, and water.

Nice little lake, good escape from Houston, pine trees, kayaking, quiet, clean, loads of trails. Hillier than expected but we found plenty of great places to hammock so it was ok. We later learned you can hire a guided horseback ride from the park, would have been fun. Campsites were all in the perfect spot along the water

I've previously reviewed the park and enjoy staying there. The Chinquapin trail is a favorite offering a 6+ mile loop around Lake Raven. The caution is that there were some strong storms during the spring of 2016 and there are some blowdowns that have not yet been cleared. I know that water only campsites 101-104 are affected but there may be others.

Campsites wer on the small side and were a little on the small side. This place is great otherwise with restrooms, fire rings and tables for your other needs. The sites were clean and well maintained. Be careful as you drive because there is a lot of wildlife. I almost ran over a squirrel

Huntsville is a great spot to visit, whether you're looking for a day trip or overnight. People are certainly catching on to the charm of the park so going during the week or a school year weekend (non-holiday) is the best bet to avoid crowds. Lots of good camp and RV space. The gem of Huntsville is its well-marked trail system. Whether a casual walker or ultrarunner, there are trails of every ability and distance to be found. They are color-coded with posted maps that are easy to follow. Prepare to take on a few hills and rocky/rooted areas, but well worth escaping the city for a bit in the nicely shaded woods.

Huntsville SP is a great patch of wilderness that is close to Houston. There is lots of camping, boating, and trails. My daughter likes the park so much she invited her friends to camp with her for her 11th birthday party. She is a girlie girl and if she wants to go camping, it must mean it is great!
