Brazos Bend State Park

We really enjoyed our stay at this park. We camped here in Mid-March, 2022 and the weather was absolutely perfect. We rode our bikes on just about every single trail, it is a really beautiful park with so much nature to enjoy. The site are very spacious and fairly level. We would definitely stay again.
At the time we visited there were two Great Horned Owlets in the nest by the front entrance. :)

This park is really nice!
Roads are in excellent condition and trees are well trimmed, making entry and exit easy.
Campsite parking is asphalt and most are extra wide and extra long, with enough space for an RV and 2 or 3 additional vehicles! Most are level but a few are not. Utilities are convenient and work well. Dump station has 3 lanes/drains to cut down on wait times.
Campsites are well kept and include a picnic table, lantern pole, waist high grill and fire ring.
Restrooms and showers are modern and clean.
Firewood is available for $5 a bundle.
There are lots of things to do here, including hiking, fishing, nature center, observatory (Saturday night only), and tons of wildlife to view. (Yes, alligators!)
The park is quiet and peaceful (at least during the week while we were there).
Verizon and T-Mobile service was very strong at park headquarters, and so-so in the campground.
We received over 100 over-the-air TV channels!
We really enjoyed our stay here and can’t wait to return!

If you like wildlife this is your park! Deer right in your campsite just hanging out. So many birds. Armadillo crossing the roads at night. Crocodiles galore from newborn to big adults. Really just a wonderful place. Barely any cell service once you get a mile in to the park. This place is HUGE!

Do NOT plan to drink or cook with the water. It tasted of straight chemicals and we luckily already had refilled our water jugs in town at the shell in needville for $0.30/gallon. It was VERY VERY off putting.

There wasn’t sewer on site and if we stayed longer than 2 nights it would of been frustrating as newbies without the little mobile dump tank to have to put everything away to go dump and come back and set up again.

Laundry is also broken and they aren’t getting new so we had to go into Needville to a laundromat but found the most delicious donut shop!

Amazon locker at the end of the street helped us replenish our diaper supply which was much needed. The staff at the park are also wonderful. The $7/per person per day made this an expensive 48hrs and should be waved when camping but also being a state park it is honestly spotless and void of trash which is wonderful so the fees are going to the right places!

We would come back again just to explore more trails! There are so many and we only got to do three with our toddler and dog. Friendly campers as well.

In general I like state parks and Brazos Bend SP is a good reason why. The site are well spaced with plenty of trees for shade. They also have 30 amp electric and water. The dump station is on the road in.

Plenty of trails and alligators. It is also quiet. Sites for any size rig, what's not to like. The sites were clean and well maintained.

All the other reviews said it well. Beautiful large oak trees everywhere and the Brazos River along the one side. Came here to enjoy water/electric hookups during a freezing/potential snow period. Looking forward to some long hikes thru their trails. The natural science museum was bonus. Lots of wildlife.
UPDATE; after a couple days the power went down, didnt come back on. A water line broke a day later so there was not water & bathroom use. I may as well have boondocked. But is really is a beautiful park.

We stayed in site 228 for 1 night. It was level enough that we stayed hooked up for the night (5th wheel).
This is a beautiful park for walking around. I'm sure it is busy in season but for the beginning of Feb, it was great! There is space between sites and they seem to all have fire ring, grill & picnic table. We took time to do a couple of nature walks also. Well kept and clean restrooms and grounds. We had Verizon coverage w/ hotspot and Dish satellite service at this site.
The price reflects that we have an annual TX State Parks pass.
