North Area Primitive Site — Colorado Bend State Park

A Trail of Waterfalls

This was my third time visiting Colorado Bend State Park.

It's a bit out of the way for me, so I don't go often, but I always enjoy it when I do.

We camped in a water only site, which is also a walk-in site. You park by the road and then walk down some stairs to the river level, which is where the campsites are. The campsites are numbered, but it is basically an open field.

The water is at the top of the stairs, which can make washing dishes and filling up water jugs challenging, but there are two spigots, which makes it a bit easier.

We decided to hike the Spicewood Springs trail. It was beautiful. There were so many waterfalls and greenery to see. We did have to cross the river a few times, so our feet got wet, but it was fine.

At the end of our hike, we swam in the spring and played in a small waterfall. It was a good way to cool off after a day of hiking.

You can buy ice and firewood at the store, but they only accept cash. To pay with credit/debit, you have to go out of the park.

All in all, a great time,
