Pedernales Falls State Park Campground

The campsites were decent size and well-spaced with buffers in between. Many of them have small pavilions over the picnic tables. All sites in electric area also have a fire pit, water and 20/30 amp electric.

Bathrooms were small but decent and well-maintained.

Note that cell service was quite weak to nonexistent (Verizon and T-Mobile) unless you were out hiking and reached a high spot.

Beautiful area to explore and the nice trails made for plenty to do. The river is super low right now (April 2022) so no water fall, but walking around on the rock formations made for a unique experience.

Also a good campground for some dark skies at night.

Our site was large and the covered picnic table was nice. The falls river hike was gorgeous and our whole family loved climbing around on the rocks. We were surprised by the number of stairs though, both here and down to the beach area.
The cell signal at our campsite was very weak and went in and out. We ended up driving into town to work. The ranger station advertises wifi but I gave up after 8 minutes of trying to get basic web pages to load.
That said, we loved this campground and would definitely stay again. We just wouldn't plan to work while here.
$20 price reflects Texas state parks pass.

You can only park at the headquarters for 20 minutes at a time (where the wifi is advertised). I wasn't able to get more than 1 mbps on the wifi. There's not enough cell service (even with a dedicated hot spot) to have a work day. Half of the trails were closed for hiking. I would come back here, but only if I don't need to do any work at all.

I travelled here with a 35’ 5th wheel, long bed pickup and parked in site #47, a 30A E/W BI site for $20/night with the Texas State Parks pass. Roads/site are asphalt and it was easy navigating through the park. It is hilly so be prepared for that. The site is very spacious, huge even. It was long enough to disconnect the truck and easily park. The spot gets some shade, but is mostly open. The picnic tables are covered and fire pits are available. The bathhouse is clean and warm. I didn’t use the showers. There are several hiking trails and the river is fun to hike around. I also enjoyed visiting the bird blinds and the hummingbird garden would be beautiful in the spring. No wifi, several OTA stations, and 1bar 5G Verizon but it was not strong enough to open email or make calls reliably. I was able to get 3 bars 5G up the hill by the ranger station. There is only a single dump station so there might be a long wait when it is busy in the summer. I really like this park and will definitely come back again.

Beautiful park, great hiking trails, falls area cool, can swim in a few locations. Picnic tables at camp sites are covered. Only 30 amp service at sites. 2 bathrooms at camp site, one with showers. Depending on where you are, it can be a long walk. Volunteer hosts are super nice. Nice level camp site good for both RV and tents. Lots of birds and deer in the area.
The bird blinds are wonderful! Best we’ve seen. Great design and a great place to chill and get some nice pics.
Ice is at camp area and $2.50/bag. Firewood $6/bundle.

The drive to the park is amazing. Once in the park the views are just as awesome. The Pedernales River is flowing just right to relax in and wonderful for children. Most campsites are shaded but high noon is a heatwave. They only have one electric campground. The stars are amazing on a clear night. Plenty of shooting stars. Plus you get to see the Milky Way. Facilities are well kept but only two for the campground. No sewer hookups but they do have a dump station. Ice and firewood are available with the camp host. Some sights do have your picnic table on the wrong side of your door camper. We had to go in truck first so we could face our campground area. Plenty of wildlife. We were able to videotape pigs and deer. Also the bird watching cabin is awesome as well as their walking plant garden. Oh there is no cell service what’s so ever. You might get a bar at the ranger station.
