"An hour and a half away from Austin, we found Inks Lake to be a quiet and relaxing camp area away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
There are several sites set up across the state park."
"It was a small drive from our camp to the devil's waterhole. It was a slippery climb in and out but a beautiful swim with people cliff jumping nearby and a view of some falls."
"The birding is great, and the lake is beautiful unless there has been a significant drought (we are talking Texas here)."
"If your ideal is to be surrounded by nature, but also want all the amenities that an RV with full hookups can afford, than this should be on your list."
"The campsites are very nice and are located on top of Buchanan dam on a huge lake with outstanding fishing. You will not be disappointed. "
"It was really windy which seems to be normal in Texas! Beautiful pool and hot tub area. Laundry facility very clean. There was a free super bowl party in the community room. Tons of deer."
$13 - $75 / night
"This is a beautiful green park with tons of waterfalls, hiking trails, swimming, and nature. You can hire a rafting trip from nearby and join a ranger hike to the caves too."
"It is home to Gorman Falls, which is the tallest waterfall in Texas, but even besides that the park is gorgeous with awesome bluffs, river, trails, swimming hole, kayaking, and views."
"This is a great get away from the city campground. It’s proximity to Fort Hood makes it convenient for a relaxing weekend with our soldier kids our grandkids."
"It has lake front, kayak rentals, and a mini golf course. It does not have trails for biking or hiking, or a good place to go running. For hiking, check out Inks Lake state park."

"This beautiful RV park in Texas Hill country was booked years in advance for the eclipse. But on our suggestion the very accommodating proprietors opened up a pasture in back to dry camping."
$13 - $23 / night
"Wildflowers were spectacular the whole drive to the park in early May. The walk-in campsites are a quick jaunt from the parking area."
"I went with a buddy and we stayed in site 16 in the primitive walk-in site. It was a gorgeous site right on the Colorado river. "
$10 - $100 / night
"This was some of the best TEXAS camping we've done. We found a really nice spot that was on the cliffside and had an incredible view of the hill country. It was isolated enough from other campsites."
"This park, for many people in the hill country of Texas, is the quintessential park to visit."

ScoutWe had site 1, far away from anyone and couldn't even see the site 2 camper. Peaceful and relaxing with good amenities
TravelerHighly recommended. Very friendly staff, well-maintained site, great pool, and clean restrooms/showers. We would definitely come back. Great location near downtown Fredericksburg.
GuideLots of spots on the lake. They do have gazebos at each spot. Campground is very clean. Spent a day by the water but our spot didn’t have shade so we moved inland under the trees and it was much more comfortable. They have restrooms, dumpsters and a dump station in your way out. $30 a night (not terrible imo). All in all great stay.
ScoutBeautiful flat paved resort with tiny home community, convenience store in the office, heated pool, large clean newly renovated shower rooms, laundry, beautiful fitness center with modern equipment. They also just opened up a lazy river with water Park features like a water slide and splash machines, and just last week they started putting up a giant stone tumbler for kids. Multiple dog parks and a nice large playground. I've been to RV parks and resorts all across the country this reminds me of the expensive resorts in Vegas for literally a third the cost. The wind in Texas is brutal but you'll probably find that anywhere. Great place, great people.
ScoutIt's nice and quiet Not much for any type of cell service, ESPECIALLY AT&T
GuideAs said before, its very crowded, especially on the weekends. The lot does have electric and water hookups and sewer at the exit gate aswell as showers and dumpsters. The site is super clean. Overall a more than good visit.
ScoutPulled in right before closing. They were super nice and accommodating. Restrooms and showers were clean and was nice and quiet.
RangerEverybody has a different opinion. When it comes to camping, This place was not for me. No electrical, no water, no Wi-Fi, no TV. Signal, no phone signal. Doesn't look like they keep up on the maintenance of this place either. When I went into the headquarters, there were about 5 state park workers all just standing in there. On a positive note, there were lots of hiking trails. They offer a guided cave tour. And they also have one cave that you can explore by yourself.
RangerIt was an ok state park. I guess i'm not really a lake person.. Not that I don't enjoy fishing. I just rather much salt water fish. I wasn't impressed with my camping spot. One tree for shade, no pavilion,. The picnic table pad concrete was broke and possed a tripping hazzard. The pad where you park, your camper, should be redone. Pretty much all the camping spots are the same. I've been to some state parks that are excellent. And then I've been to some that are like this mediocre. The plus things for it is. I have T-Mobile cell service. I have 5G network here. I was able to make and receive calls to my wife as well as text messaging. The television signal was excellent. You can either aim towards Kileen, Texas, or Austin, Texas, and get a few channels. The lake is a big playground for kids. There are volleyball court shocker games on the back porch of the store. Longhorn caverns, which is another state park, is just down the road 12 miles. I'm also including pictures of Longhorn cavern. You can't camp there, but it's right down the road. They have a picnic area there. It's expensive to see the caverns. $25 for an adult.
