Lovely park, EXCELLENT location

This is just a great park. It is located in a sleepy little winery town. It is just a few minutes from the main part of town with multiple beautiful wineries within a few miles.

The park is bordered by the Katy Trail which will take you into town (and many other scenic places) so bring your bikes!

Just on the other side of the trail is a great brewery with a fantastic patio and rooftop deck. We walked there a few times to enjoy pizza.

Although it wasn’t initially appealing to be set in a field, the views around the park were really nice.

Neat location; didn’t love rv spots

The area as a whole is neat. The primitive sites are spacious and lovely. We have an rv with 50amp service and essentially, we were on a converted parking lot next to a pavilion. The sites facing the river were a bit nicer.

There is security that drives around to check on everyone which is nice and the camp store was super convenient.

Additionally, the river was amazing. We got down early to ensure we had a spot for our chairs and umbrella. Our kiddos played (with life vests) for 8 hours straight. The river can be dangerous there but if you respect it and have life vests, it makes for an amazing day.
