I wouldn't really recommend this place to a big time hiker/camper, but people with kids or who are just starting to get into camping, this is a great spot. The facilities are nice, and everything is pretty easy to access. It's a good spot to go with kids and give them their first taste of camping.

Bastrop State Park has excellent facilities including hot showers, indoor sinks and toilets in modern, clean, and well maintained facilities, managed trails, and a pool! It can be a little noisy around the campground, and there is road noise as well from the highway. It's not really a "Nature Experience" but it is easy, clean, and fun. If you are a hardened backpacker you might want to go to a county park, but if you want to introduce your kids or partner to camping, this is the spot.

You can reserve a campsite online, but plan ahead! They sell out. Also, if you are going during the summer months, beware! Texas heat in the summer can be dangerous. Best months are spring and fall.

Perfect place to go especially if you want to fish, nice place to go for peace in the piney woods!
