Nice park on the Brazos

Been told by a local, off season is best as July and August are typically overful. Bathrooms are closed, but there is a Porta potty that was knocked over by the wind.

Lots of sun and just a little shade, arrive early for a treed spot or bring shade awnings. Large open area great to fly kites.

Edit: return early July and find that this is a mid week haven. Scissor-tailed Flaycatchers with dramstic black and white long spit tail feathers nest here. The park is busy with boating swimming, fishing, and boating is busy with day use traffic but only 3 or 4 campsites are occupied with tents or rv.

Been coming here for 10 years.

Fishing, swimming, camping, and a boat launch. Park is often very clean. Bathrooms are not always very clean. Well lit at night. Nice hiking trail to the bottom of the dam. Far enough away from town to be a peaceful quick getaway.
