We met up with our son's family here on their suggestion ( they really like it), & had a blast. Golf course on site, plenty of hiking trails ( not very long ones), a swimming pool (in season).

Great BBQ in town as well.

Pros:
Located just miles from the "Barbeque Capital of Texas"
Has a swimming pool for seasonal use
Cons:
Several sites require you to drive on the grass to get around other campers
Several sites have hookups on the passenger side / door side of the RV
Very little shade (summers are brutal)
Many sites are not level
This was our second stay and will be our last. We LOVE our Texas state parks, but this is NOT up to the standard of most.

There are two levels of sites here - the full hookups by the golf course and the water/electric sites. It is obvious which ones get more attention. We stayed in a W/E site.

There are two levels of sites here - the full hookups by the golf course and the water/electric sites. It is obvious which ones get more attention. We stayed in a W/E site. Our 21' trailer barely fit the pull though site. The site was not level side to side and I had to be clear up on my Anderson levelers to make it work. Our site had no grass and was quite muddy after a recent rain.
Many, if not most, of the W/E sites had electricity on the drivers side and water on the passenger side. However, some of them had them both on the drivers side - either bad planning or bad execution when the sites were laid out. There were a couple of back in sites, and one pull through set up for two sites to share. The restroom was all the way down at one end of the campground and not centrally located, though it seemed to be in fairly good shape. All in all, it seems the non golf sites are an afterthought here.

My husband said the campground bathroom was a 2 of 5 stars. The town is cute with interesting shops and places to eat. Sites are full hookup right on a 9 hole golf course. We will be back some day.

We were unable to work (zoom calls and webinars) from our site; however, if you drive up the hill to the rec hall, I got 15 down and 6 up with AT&T. Was able to run zoom meetings from there, but not ideal.
The park itself is quaint and nice. Many critters roaming around at night. There’s a playground for the kids and a scavenger hunt around the park they can complete and turn in for a prize.
Takes 45-60 minutes to get to Austin.

Pros
Reserved on-line 123 days prior to arrival without incurring any reservation fee. Total cost was $18 each night.
Campsite and entrance fee discount with Texas State Park Pass.
Very quiet in December. No highway or train noise.
Great night sky viewing from park golf course. NO STREET LIGHTS in campground., but toilet facilities had exterior lighting.
Campsite had cooking grill on metal fire ring and barrel BBQ smoker.
Campsite had metal cover over picnic table.
Level site #7.
Grass mowed throughout campsites.
Ample supply of TP, soap and hand towels in toilet facility.
Nice view of Golf Course from FHU campground.
Cons
FHU sites in wagon wheel configuration. Absolutely no privacy from other sites.
Campsite fire rings placed weirdly which created confusion between campers as to which fire ring belong to which campsite.
Water pressure fluctuations constantly.
20 campsites total for this park with 3 park hosts which one is using a numbered site, so only 19 campsites to reserve.
Never saw any park rangers or park security driving through campground; no interaction with Park Hosts.
No security gate closed overnight.
Limited Shade. Seems each FHU site had one tree.
One toilet facility for 20 campsites PLUS day users, except for pool users. One shower only in each Men’s and Women’s.
Campsite #7 full of fire ants!
No campfire for sale.
1 bar AT&T
No Park Wifi

Being from Austin Lockhart is practically the backyard for us in terms of camping distance. We enjoyed the many tv channels for evening relaxation, the walking trails for some exercise and fun with our pups, and the BBQ places nearby. While the sites are in this interesting circle, the angles of the sites don't make you feel like you are peeking in your neighbors windows. Very nice location and loved the full hookups.

Nine hole golf course, easy to play, and good value. Hiking trails but signage was only fair. One shower each bathroom just ok. High water has damaged some of W/E sites.

Spent a couple days. Lockhart is loaded w/fantastic bbq joints. Amazing places. Park is nice. It was rainy and cold while we were there. They do have a 9 hole golf course. Quite a few trails. We didn't do go to far since it was raining. Sites are paved. Most sites have a little river running behind...

Small park with 20 electric sites that parallel an access road to the day use/trail head area, and full hook up sites in a circular area near the camping entrance. There are two elevations in the electric area, one for parking the rig and another for your table and/or tent, and the drop off can be challenging depending on site and rig size. A 5er in site 20 filled the pad entirely so their last step off of their RV steps landed them on a steep incline. Our site had us exiting the RV onto the pad due to how I chose to park, but my truck & trailer is much smaller. Still, we had the slope downward to table and our camp area which is very unusual in how 19 & 20 were set up, almost a daily whose is whose. The Clear Fork Creek running past the campsites create a scenic view, a hiking trail by it's side, and a play area for the kids (who can resist playing down by the river). The sites 15-20 in the electric area are tight maneuvering due to trees and the site design but 1-14 look to be more open & easier, and again all have the slope down to your camp, looks like this section of the campground may have been an afterthought. Still, it works and is a nice park for the woods & trails. The one shower house, with one shower/two potties, is used by campers, day users and whoever wants to once the front office closes, and is kept as clean as can be given this.
