We decided to stay at Cleburne for spring break because it was one of the few Texas state parks with sewer hookups (which we wanted for a week long stay). We were pleasantly surprised!

The park is large in that its long and narrow. Most of the campsites are quite a ways for the main hiking area and kind of a roundabout way to get to the playground and lake area. Everything was bikable too, just a long bike ride.

We love to mountain bike but were disappointed that most of the trails are crushed gravel not suitable to the casual rider (or kids). However, the hiking was amazing. Lots of tree covered areas and maintained trails. And the highlight was the spillway off the lake and the resulting creek. Several series of "waterfalls" and little pools for the kids to splash around in. We visited the spillway each day of our visit.

The playground was a nice bonus. The lake had a nice swim area and dock. They should rent canoes/kayaks out like other state parks.

We'll be back!
