Brazos Bend State Park Campground
Hidden Gem in the Texas Swamp
We stayed at spot 128 in the Burr Oak. It was very easy to back into, the site is super wide and full asphalt. Site was very level. Bathrooms were somewhat close, about 4 or 5 sites down with a shortcut through the woods. Not a lot of street lights throughout the campground made things nice and quiet at night. The site had good Verizon cell service, around 25-50 mbps. The Tmobile service was around the same. This place is very remote and the park itself is huge, we only stayed one night but it has a ton to offer! Overall the campground was clean, very quiet, with a ton of activities.

ONE OF OUR FAVORITES
This park is really back in there as from the office to the sites it's a good distance which is nice. Level sites and more than enough room between sites. If you like hiking, you can get it done here, just watch out for the gators.....

Great State Park for Hiking/Biking
We stayed in spot 112 in February 2024.
- Sites are very nice, wide, and (mostly) level.
- Campground is kept clean.
- Bathroom is a bit outdated, but still clean.
- Trails are very nice and appear top be kept up regularly. Just watch out for the alligators.
- Don't forget to reserve a spot at the observatory on Saturday nights...

Loved It
We had fun here with our 3 year old granddaughter. Campsite was nice & large, well spaced out. Bathrooms are clean, and the trails are awesome. Saw about 20 alligators on Elm Lake

Free place to rest when driving on 10
Easy to get to, we were the only camper here. Some fishermen down on the water during the day but we were the only campers. Our 42’ 5th wheel fit nicely on the gravel patch by the cement picnic table. Only rules are to register (info on the sign, free but you have to call the number) and don’t park on the grass (there were some day use people parked on the grass but they want campers on the gravel) - can’t beat it for free.

Nice place to camp when taking the 10
Nice free camp, we found a spot to drive back a little bit so we could set up camp tucked away.

Perfect stay for camping (tent)
I got the camping permit just by calling the phone number at the entrance, they provide me an email to sent my driver license and car type. That’s it, they sent me back the permit. Everything is free. There are restrooms and showers. Calm and chill place to sleep. Fishing and camping, that’s the vibe always. Great place.

Back to nature with an astronomical view!
The birds singing in the meadow wake you gently in the morning. There's numerous trails to hike or bike. the observatory and nature centers a bonus to this well appointed state campground.
Serena R.TravelerWhites County Park Campground
Lots of trees
I love all the trees although it's not great if you're trying to charge up your solar panel. There is a small neighborhood nearby so you will hear kids playing. Otherwise it's very peaceful, we had the whole place to ourselves.

Hike Bike Gaters and Birds
Might as well make this a national park. Was amazing. Campground has huge level pads with big campsites. Well groomed and very clean. So many walking and biking trails. We saw around 30 alligators, 100s of birds and 2 beavers (I think). Was humid and around 85 degrees most of the time.
Curtis D.GuideWhites County Park Campground
Nice Place
Nice place for overnighting. Or camp for the 3 day limit. Nice clean park. Sites have concrete picnic tables. But bring a fly swatter for the mosquitoes. A couple got into my home on wheels and when I killed them they left a big bloodstain. Otherwise not a bad place. Is there is a shell gas station across the street for food and guess. They did have 2 bathroom houses only one of them was clean. No showers. There were water spickets all over the place. I don't know if it's potable or not. It was dry camping so I already came prepared. You do need a permit for 3 day stay limit. You can obtain one by going on the website and calling and talk to Brandy she will email you one. This is a County park.

It never disappoints!
Came here as a kid in 5th grade and fell in love! It hasn’t changed a bit! So much to see, the observatory it’s incredible! Alligators for miles! Photographers paradise!

Great State Park
Just purchased my 1st RV. This was a "test run" with my dogs and cat. It's a huge park. Well maintained. Traveled alone and felt 100% safe. Lots of trails close to the campsite (burr oak). Only reason I have it 4 stars is my AT&T service was virtually non existent.

Summer Struggles
Overnight stay. Heavily wooded area. Lots of wildlife (deer hanging out in neighboring campsite). Grass was overgrown on site. Firewood we bought wouldn’t burn. Very buggy (swarming at your face). Had to drive to the shower house. There seemed to be a lot to see at this park and I’m sure it is lovely in the fall and winter. I would come back again in better weather.

Doug W.RangerBrazos Bend State Park Campground
Nice park close to Houston
I like state parks and this is a good example why. The sites are well spaced, well maintained and relatively inexpensive. About $20. You can reserve online and the web site has photos of the site so you know it works for you.
Site have electric and water and the dump station is at the entrance of the campground. Easy to hit on your way out.
There are plenty of hiking trails and they have alligators.
If you're looking for a good campground close to Houston, this is your place.

Alligators!
We loved this place! Our campsite was on Burr Oak loop. Very spacious. Quite a walk to the bathroom though. Very clean bathrooms.The trails are awesome! So glad we had our bikes, it allowed us to cover a lot of ground. We did see over 10 alligators. Some on the side of the trail, some in the water....I lost count of how many we saw. Great for hikes. Awesome for bikes.

Escape from the City
This is the best place to escape from the big city and enjoy nature! There is so much to do. The hiking and bike paths are aplenty. We loved seeing the gators, especially when the babies were hatching (spot dozens of babies in the photos). The observatory is also incredible. There are so many friendly astronomy enthusiasts who are willing to share a peek through their telescope (pre-covid) and share their knowledge. Be sure to help keep light pollution down in that area so everyone can enjoy the stars (no flashlights or phones out). This is such a great park to enjoy and spend a weekend away from the city without traveling too far.

Alligators and an observatory
If you want to see alligators in their natural habitat this is the park for you. There wer so many. We even came across one on the trail eating a snake. The best part though is the observatory. There’s always plenty of stargazers up there that love to share their equipment, you can also pay for the big telescopes. We visited before Covid, so not sure how things are now. The shelter sites are nicer than most. The bathrooms were average.

Getaway from Houston
I was visiting Houston with my husband (who is from there) and decided to make a quick escape from the city to nature. We camped just one night, so despite the short visit, we really had a great time. Our site was very spacious, and it was pretty quiet there. There were large trees giving us plenty of shade. I love the Spanish moss that hangs from the trees.
We also took a hike in the park around the lame, and saw a few alligators. Such a fun hike, highly recommended!

I've been going to Brazos Bend since I was a kid. It's always fun to hike or bike around the trails and see all types of birds, alligators, and other wildlife. For us it is close by which is another added bonus.
