"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."

$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. "
"Green grass, well spaced concrete pads, and large pecan trees right along the San Saba river. There are full hookups and cable tv. The office is confusing and is down at the golf course office."

"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."

"Easy access to the water."

"Super beautiful. we walked around at the bottom for a while and found other pretty rock formations and things to look at."

"It is secluded and once you go through the gates expect to travel around 6
7 miles to reach the campsites. I lost all phone service about 23 mi.es before reaching the gates with Verizon.""The trail there is almost perfectly flat you could definitely bicycle in and out. It’s nice to be right on the river and out of the hustle and bustle of a main camping area."
ScoutWe had site 1, far away from anyone and couldn't even see the site 2 camper. Peaceful and relaxing with good amenities
RangerSite 69 not level(68 looked better). Both are on green space facing the lake(large grassy area that comprises the beach). Showers old but but great hot water. Flush toilets, walking trail along lake, cabins also near lake. Pretty buggy(gnats/flies--did not see mosquitos). VERY quiet(we were also the only campers in this area).
ScoutIt's nice and quiet Not much for any type of cell service, ESPECIALLY AT&T
ScoutRun down. Vagrants nearby. Felt unsafe
ScoutBeautiful sunset over lake, many sites available in April.
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.
ScoutIt won't win any awards for being new, flashy, or state-of-the-art, but that's why we found this place so appealing. It's not a concrete jungle, it's quiet, and the owners have gone above and beyond to provide new amenities. The Wi-Fi is free and worked great. Management was incredibly helpful. It's also a steal at $35/night.
TravelerGreat spot for a quick overnight! All hookups worked great, and they're on city water and sewer. The dog park was enormous, and Goldthwaite is a charming town with plenty to do if you look. They have ice, a general store with RV parts, a library, game room, and propane tank refilling. Can't speak highly enough about Greg and Josh, who run the park. Excellent customer service. They said the owners are installing playground equipment and a hot tub soon, so that will make our next trip even better! Best thing was the price. For $35 and electricity and Wi-Fi included, there's not a better value in the county.
