    Palmetto State Park Campground

    Nice basic state park

    The tent camping spots in this somewhat small state were spacious. They had both a grill and a fire pit, picnic table, water spigot, and a "lantern hook" (a giant pipe thing like for a basketball hoop, but with a little hook sticking out of it. Each site is supposed to accommodate 2 cars, but about half of them only had parking for 1. Fortunately we got there early and were able to switch. Try to be nice to the camp hosts, they're volunteers and when I got grumpy at the one who told us we couldn't park with our wheels hanging off the pad, I thought she might cry.

    The website doesn't get updated easily, so ignore any reports of tubing. There are no tube rentals there and no convenient, nearby tubing put-ins/take-outs. Don't try to tube the Zedler Mill Paddling Trail. The water is super slow and full of logs and if you suck at tubing it could take you 10 hours.

    Palmetto State Park Campground

    Ranger Review: Gregory Backpack at Palmetto SP (River + Lake + Palmettos)

    Campsite Review:

    Palmetto State Park is a tranquil campground located in Central Texas. It offers campers the chance to hike, bike, swim, paddle, fish or just lay in a hammock under the shade of trees. The park is located a few minutes drive from the towns of Gonzales and Luling. The park's most unique feature are the dwarf palmetto plants which grow throughout the forest.

    When entering the park you are welcomed by a canopy of overhanging trees. At the entrance there is an office where you can pay your admission fee and shop for some basic camping necessities. There are also after-hour pay stations nearby.

    At each campsite there is a parking space with water and electrical hookups, a picnic table, barbecue grill and fire pit. Most of the sites will fit small to medium sized RVs. There are plenty of shade trees around the campsites which are welcome during the summers in Texas. The restrooms are near the campsites and all of the restrooms, although somewhat dated, have sinks, flush toilets and showers.

    Some of the attractions of this park include a small artesian spring, lake and the San Marcus River. There is a nice hike and bike trail which runs along the bank of the river which is flat and easy to walk or bike. There are some amazing sights and sounds while walking through the forest - from birds to insects to small mammals to plants. As previously mentioned, one of the unique features of this park are the dwarf palmetto plants that grow on the forest floor. These palmettos make you feel as if you've been transported to a tropical paradise. Paddle boat, kayak and canoe rentals are available at a concession office near the lake.

    There are a number of activities to enjoy at this park, but some of the facilities could use an update. I would think that is a nice park for families with kids because of the variety of activities that can be pursued. There are no extreme features like mountains or cliffs, just a number of peaceful nooks in nature.

    Before or after your stay at Palmetto State Park be sure to pass by the little town of Luling, Texas where you can eat at the City Market Café which has some of the best barbecue in Texas.

    Product Review:

    As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I am offered the opportunity to test products. At this campground, I tested the Gregory Inertia 30 Hydration Backpack.

    Top reasons I loved the Gregory Inertia 30 Hydration Backpack:

    1. Size: The pack is 30 liters and is useful for day hikes, weekend adventures or carry-on airline travel.
    2. Features: The pack has well thought-out organization with a large main compartment, a mid-sized compartment, a top stash pocket, stretch mesh front and side pockets and a flexible suspension. Also, there are a number of attachment loops for attaching tools, poles, solar chargers or other gear.
    3. Technology: The new 3D hydration bladder is a breeze to fill, empty and clean. It has an tactile grip handle and rubberized fill top which make opening and closing easy. When cleaning or drying out the bladder, the sidewalls of the bladder maintain an open shape which allows easy access and evaporation of any residual water.
    4. Quality: All of the materials are of high quality. I expect that the backpack will last many years. This is important for a day use backpack which will see regular duty under a variety of conditions. It is also important for backpacking, because no one wants a gear failure while in the backcountry.

    I hope and expect that this backpack will become my go to backpack for a variety of adventures.

    Palmetto State Park Campground

    It's a jungle!

    I felt like I was on safari when we pulled into the park. Palmetto plants are everywhere! The entrance is like jurassic Park, and when you get to your site, it's classic "state park" camping - wilderness and plenty to explore. Book site 9, if you can get it. Best site in the park if you want a quiet site with a private forest on your right side. Only down side is the burn ban might prevent you from using the fire ring or smoker.

    Palmetto State Park Campground

    Family fun state park

    This is a great park for families. There is all kinds of activities like biking, hiking, swimming, fishing, a playground, kayak/paddle board rentals, etc. The campground is small for RVs, only about 19 sites and there’s a few with full sewer hookups, the rest with water/electric. The sites on the outer loop are spaced out a bit more then the sites on the inner loop. We had some noisy neighbors with loud music but otherwise I would guess it’s a pretty tame park.. highly recommend and we’ll be back!

    Splashway Campground

    Rocky Creek, Somerville

    First time there and was really impressed with this campground. The slots are a great price and big sites, most have a metal pavilion over the picnic table, which was convenient. Sites are very level, wide and deep. All the sites have great views of the lake and even if you aren’t on a lake front, there is plenty of access to the lake all around the grounds. Paved roads which was great for bikes or even electric scooters. Wooded trails and lots of wildlife. Lots of deer all over the grounds in the evening variety of birds. The campground sites on a giant peninsula, which gives so much shoreline, which is managed by the Army Corp. of Engineers, so it’s well maintained and undeveloped. Multiple boat ramps and sites that are on the shoreline, which have a shallow bank, so you can Anchor your boat right off the bank and have walk up access to your campsite and boat. Wild Bills is right across the street, which has all the little things you may have forgot to bring or ability to restock on some beverages and snacks. It’s a 10-15 min bike ride from your campsite or a 5 min drive. Very convenient. Bryan, Tx is only 25 mins away and has a Super Walmart with Curbside service if you need to grab something more specific or a larger grocery order. Quick and easy. College Station was about 45mins away and it’s all easy driving.

    It can get pretty windy if you book a slot down lower at the tip of the peninsula, but they will let you swap spaces whenever you want to if there is something available. The campsite up the hill are pretty protected from the wind, so regardless of the wind they have options if it’s more than what you want to deal with. Definitely my place to camp when visiting Somerville. They also let me check-in early when the previous camper left early, so I really appreciated that as well.

    Texana Park & Campground

    Wildlife, fishing, kayaking

    Sites are very spacious, each has its own picnic table on a concrete pad. Lots of privacy, most sites are separated by 15' widths of trees and shrubs which act as a privacy wall. There is a little climbing playground for little ones. Fishing piers and a nature center currently being built and it is going to be huge! We've been here three days and have seen 4 armadillos, 5 squirrels, 7 deer and 1 raccoon. The neighbor said she has camped here 6 times and only seen 1 teeny tiny gator. Only thing missing for my likes is a swimming pool. You can't get into this water, pretty murky and lily pads

    Splashway Campground

    Splashway Campground Review

    This is a great campground with lots to do. It is awesome like geometry dash lite. We camped: the camp pitch was fairly level with electric hookup, water supply close to the tent and a fire pit for each pitch. There are also RV hookups as well. My kids totally enjoyed the laser tag, there is also a boating pond, fishing and live music on a Saturday night. The toilet block was the cleanest I have ever seen on a campsite- it was as clean as many hotels I have stayed in. One good advice for anyone staying in a campsite in Texas: compared to campsites in more temperate climes, Texas campsites are dusty and have as much dirt as grass on the pitches(and this site is no exception). Bring a tarp to put under your tent- it will be a lot easier to clean than the bottom of a sewn-in groundsheet when you get home.


Guide to Cuero

Camping options near Cuero, Texas range from rustic state parks to full-service RV resorts within a 30-mile radius. The region sits in the coastal plains of South Texas, with elevations averaging 150-200 feet above sea level and a subtropical climate featuring hot summers and mild winters. Rainfall averages 36 inches annually, making spring and fall popular camping seasons when temperatures moderate between 60-85°F.

What to do

River paddling: Access the San Marcos River at Palmetto State Park, where you can rent kayaks and canoes for river exploration. "We decided next trip we would rent a canoe and head up the river," notes Sara S., who appreciated the tropical feel of the park during her visit.

Historic exploration: Visit the Spanish colonial ruins at Goliad State Park, located about 25 miles south of Cuero. "This park was so great. There was all kinds of history there that you can see for very low prices and also for free," writes Red S., adding that "If you enjoy history, you're really gonna love the Goliad State park."

Fishing: Cast a line at Coleto Creek Reservoir, known for bass, catfish, and crappie fishing. "Stayed here with the family a couple times and it was nice. Not always the cleanest but still a nice site to stay at near the water," reports Brandi L. about her experience at the reservoir.

What campers like

Tropical environments: Palmetto State Park offers an unexpected landscape unlike typical Texas terrain. "We came here on a day trip and were very pleased with the park. It didn't really feel like Texas as we walked through the almost tropical looking forest," writes Sara S. Another camper, Amy E., confirms this unique setting: "Trees! Beautiful park with a lot of trees and a tropical feel too. Will be going back!"

Wildlife viewing: Many campgrounds in the area offer opportunities to spot native wildlife. At Brackenridge Recreation Complex, campers regularly see deer around their sites. "My mother, sister & myself came across this little jewel and could not be happier. Our spot was directly on the water which is very calming... Also awoke to a herd of deer grazing in our back yard," reports Amy C.

Water recreation: Lake Texana State Park provides multiple water activities beyond just fishing. "Sites are very spacious, each has its own picnic table on a concrete pad. Lots of privacy, most sites are separated by 15' widths of trees and shrubs which act as a privacy wall," writes Juliee B., who spotted numerous wildlife during her stay including armadillos, squirrels, deer and raccoons.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F, making spring and fall more comfortable for tent camping. At Goliad State Park, one camper noted: "The sites weren't too bad, but there were a lot of ants and insects around that's even more than usual. Definitely bring a tent screen."

Alligator presence: Several water bodies near Cuero have resident alligator populations. At Lake Texana State Park, campers should be aware of this wildlife hazard. One reviewer specifically noted "Alligators in lake!" among the considerations when staying there.
