I pop down here several times a year. It's super close to town and gives you a bit of reprieve from the city. Be aware - junk washes up on shore frequent. It can also get a bit crowded especially on the weekends.

highly recommend this camp site. right next to so many great hikes!

We love Brazos bend. Any time we have family come into town we make sure to take them to see our gator neighbors. if you don't like spiders this may not be a spot for you!

Camping is great. primitive sites are a few miles hike in. very doable. beware of cayotes and curious deer.

Enough beach to truly get away from everything. Definitely worth the trip.

Palmetto is a great state park. Easy access to the river and right in between San Antonio and Houston. Close enough to pop out of town for a few days.

The owners are a great family. They made sure we were all set up. The property overlooks the Medina River. Even in low water, there is kayaking just up stream from the site. Dog friendly. Kinda noisy at night.
