I’ve been here many times. They used to have a pool here years ago. Now they have a very small water park called splashville, which is great for families with children. They do have a several amenities such as tennis courts, playgrounds, an amphitheater, pavilions, baseball diamonds, basketball courts, a paved walking trail, disc golf etc. I’ve camped here a couple times because I didn’t have anywhere else to go, but I wouldn’t really recommend it for camping/hiking/sightseeing, etc. The Bosque River runs through it but it’s no good for swimming because it’s nasty. There’s often lots of trash. Not really a pretty park by any means.

My boyfriend and I came here for a weekend backpacking trip and had a great time! We hiked 2 miles down wolf mountain loop then about a quarter mile on the camping trail to the primitive sites on Saturday. We arrived at the campsites around 5pm and there were so many people camping it kinda looked like a shanty town (but in a cool way!) Even though there were lots of spots filled we managed to find a decent spot fairly quickly that was somewhat secluded. The next morning we hiked to Jones Spring and also checked out the remnants of the Trammels house. When we came back to out site just about all the other campers had already packed out and we had the whole camping trail pretty much to ourselves Sunday. We packed out Monday morning and before leaving the park checked out the bird blind, (which didn’t require a hike), then drove north to the falls. The falls had a short but somewhat taxing hike, since coming out was steep uphill, but it was a beautiful sight! After that I walked down to the swimming area, which was absolutely gorgeous, but the water was very cold of course in November so I just waded around a bit. The hike back from the swimming area was short but very strenuous! Very steep uphill! Overall it was a fantastic experience!

The Fairfield Bay/Greers Ferry lake area in general is my heaven on earth, and this marina/campground is smack dab in the middle of it. I’ve spent many, many wonderful days and nights here throughout my life. The marina has a very nice, well stocked shop with a little cafe around the corner. I remember one of my favorite things when I went there as a child was when they’d give me a bag of fish food to throw to the massive catfish off the dock. If you enjoy anything nature related this is the place to be! The lake is amazing and a wonderful place to fish or just boat around on. If you like hiking, you can go less than a quarter mile off almost any main road and see abundant wildlife, a meandering creek, sometimes even a waterfall! There are hiking trails literally everywhere, of all kinds of difficulty levels. I could think of no place I’d rather be right now than laid up in a hammock at this campground after a long day of fun! Highly recommend!!!

I’ve come here several times for fishing, swimming, and camping. It was always well maintained when I went. Very good fishing place, friendly staff.

Me and my boyfriend came here to do some tubing down the Brazos river. If you’re camping here and intend on tubing I wouldn’t recommend taking their word on the water levels or flow of the river. We called before heading that way and they told us the flow was great. We ended up walking most of the way since the river was very low in most spots or wasn’t flowing much. Despite this we still had a great time and met some cool people, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Very laid back atmosphere.

I have visited this park several times, and it was my first state park to explore when I was a kid. The Paluxy river runs through this park. When there’s been plenty of rain there are lots of places to swim! The blue hole is my favorite swimming area in this park, it has some deep areas, and I’ve heard of some undertows being there, so children should be supervised closely. There are some large rocks jutting out over some deep water in this area that are fun to jump from! To get to the hike in sites, be prepared to wade through the river. I believe it is a 2 mile hike to get to the most remote primitive site. Also, when the river is low you can see lots of dinosaur tracks! If you have extra time in Glen Rose, Fossil Rim is right around the corner! Both Dinosaur Valley and Fossil Rim are great places to take kiddos.

I went here in November 2020. It was a one of a kind experience! I saw lots of wildlife- javelinas, coyotes, some beautiful birds, and even a BEAR!! I stayed at Pinnacles 3. It was a steep uphill 3.8 mile hike. Very difficult, but so rewarding! Stunning views!

This was the perfect place for my first solo hiking/camping trip! I was greeted by friendly, informative staff and paid the $7 day pass fee and $10 for the site. The hike to camp was 2.5 miles with a steep downhill grade the first quarter mile. Other than the first quarter I’d say it was a very easy hike. I saw some wildlife- deer, an armadillo, and a rabbit. I was carrying a 50 lb pack and stopped often for pics, so it took me about an hour and a half to reach the primitive camping area. At the south end of the area there’s a spot marked “A” with plenty of cleared up areas to set up camp. I decided to go a bit further north. There weren’t really any marked spots but there were clear paths and a few places that had obviously been camped at. After some searching I finally found the perfect hammock trees and settled in for the night. At some point I heard some coyotes but other than that it was very quiet and secluded so I slept like a rock! After the hike back to my car I wanted to swim, but the designed swimming area was very small and not secluded at all so I decided to skip the dip. Overall it was a great trip and I’m looking forward to going again sometime!
