A Truly Magical Place

Enchanted Rock is a huge dome of granite the rises up from the mostly flat area of Texas. It makes for a great afternoon hike or overnight camping trip, has excellent facilities, and is large enough for you to have a taste of nature.

There are two campgrounds, one is a hike in campground with a 1-3 mile hike, and the other you can drive up to. While there are usually some people up late talking, it's a pretty quiet campground. There is zero traffic noise, and if the moon is up you can go up on the rock and have a magical night.

Beware the summer nights in Texas. I went camping here in July and it was really too much. It doesn't seem to cool down at all at night. I think the granite holds the heat. Come in spring or fall for the best time. Reserve your site online well in advance.
