Gorgeous and private ... watch out for poison ivy

So gorgeous ... very well laid out. Incredibly private sites.

PROS: very well laid out. Incredibly private sites. Everything is nice and new. The hiking paths were gorgeous with some awesome historic sites to see and even manageable after light rain (wear rain boots though). The guest center was very nice. We saw 2 playground that the kids loved as well. SpaceX’s rocket testing site is nearby and you can hear the rumble of the rocket tests which we LOVED. If you time your drive properly, you can also see the plumes of smoke and flames. Magnolia Silos in Waco is about 45 min away if you want a fun outing for the kids and fam. Even during overcast weather, the food trucks (while pricey) are still nice. They have a small baseball field, tons of yard games and lots to look at.

CONS: hardly any. Watch out for poison ivy/oak though. It was EVERYWHERE. The sites are crushed granite (aside from the parking pad) and that’s not my fave as it tends to result in piles and piles of sand in the camper (if you have kids at least 🥴) but hey. Minor inconvenience for an otherwise awesome site.

Site8 (I think?) orig 19 but we moved when we got there bc there was a better option
