Best Campgrounds near Harker Heights, TX
Camping around Harker Heights, Texas gives you several state parks within driving distance. Colorado Bend State Park Campground has basic sites where you can camp not far from hiking trails and the cave tour meeting spots.

Double-check the park websites for any fire bans or closures before you go.
