Clean and tidy campground. Most sites provide some shade. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. The RV loop has full hookups (30 amp) and they are all pull-thrus. Unlike most parks, all the sites are equally desirable and face the woods. Shower/restroom facilities are well-maintained and very new.

November 2020 ALERT! Due to Interstate 10 construction, the eastbound exit for San Felipe is closed so the navigation system took us further East and then backtracked on some horrible condition rural roads. Recommend going to Brookshire and using FM 359 and then FM 1458 to reach Park Road unless you want to really beat up your rig. West bound entrance onto Interstate 10 was a bit crazy also so you may want to do some recon before finding yourself down a horrible back road. No notice of this on the State Park website.
40 FHU sites here under Spanish moss-draped trees. Good spacing between most sites, but no privacy from neighbor sites. The site required leveling side-to-side. Quiet campsite. No highway noise. Train whistle in distant. Saw lots of deer that came fairly close to us.
Nice trails but very busy on weekends as Houstonians escape the city for some country fun!
A brand new toilet/shower facility opened in early November 2020 in this FHU campground that includes 2 family restrooms. Toilet stalls are very narrow with residential toilets which are water saving that required 4-5 flushes to empty the bowl. Dyson hand dryer.
In the FHU loop, there were 3 camp hosts and one campsite marked for the 4th camp host. Another site has a firewood wagon and an ice machine. Then another site is coned off. So 6 sites gone from the inventory! There is a camp host site also in the tent loop. Wow - 5 camp hosts?? That has to be a record for this size park! We did see Park Police drive thru the FHU loop very frequently.
A new toilet/shower facility is under construction in the tent loop. Construction just began so probably another 6-9 months to finish. In the meantime, there are 4 job johnnies and campers from the tent loop utilizing the new toilet/shower facility, with 3 toilets for women and 2 for men.
AT&T 1 bar.

I have to say that while the park is very nice, and for something close to Houston it’s great, but man they really get after you about everything here. $500 fine for collecting firewood debris, in a campground! I got a firm talking to in the morning for parking my vehicle on the grass near my site (because I converted my car and need to setup an awning, I sleep in it, it’s essentially my “tent”) and while I had a single beer can on a picnic table visible, that was worthy of some sort of a fine from a ranger. I get they’re doing everything they can to keep the place as nice as possible, but they might be cracking down too much on campers, which hindered my experience there. Look I’m an Eagle Scout, I’ve been taught to leave no trace, this felt like camping on a golf green the way this place is maintained. For some people, that’s awesome, but next time I’d rather go to a free spot where I can do everything I like responsibly.

Nice location near the Brazos River. Easy to reach from Houston or San Antonio. Beautiful mossy trees.

There are SO MANY deer here! It was so cool to sit out and watch them come in for the night.
Just a few minutes to Sealy, and about 30 to Katy.
Also, the park store was seriously the best! So many fun items.

Stayed here the first two weeks of December '19 and enjoyed the wooded setting of the park, the trails, as well as the wildlife, and the clean facilities with genuinely hot water. The park is getting new shower houses and should be finished by year's end (2020) so piece by piece an area is being worked on while other shower houses remain available. A very quiet park otherwise and is also in close proximity to Sealy TX for laundry & Post Office, and Katy TX for the shopper of any sort. If you can't find it in Katy, you don't need it. A new Museum is across the road from the Park entrance and I advise a stop in there. Very quiet during the week, aside of the work crew for the shower house redo. Even the weekends were sedated unless the Scouts showed up, but even then it was entertaining hearing them off in the distance doing Scout games/activities. Sites were level and spaciously deep & separated, very roomy for a tent, Clam, or yard game set up and still have room left. The 21' trailer fit nicely on the pad, and the longer rigs did as well with some maneuvering to get it in & just right.

This park hovers somewhere between three and four stars. Lots of areas under construction, including the bathrooms in the RV campground area. If you’re in a van-sized outfit and don’t need hookups, the tent camping area is the way to go. Lots of space there and nice level sites.

Great little trip for the weekend to try out our new Winnie Minnie 2500RL. Nice quiet park. Great people. Everything we wanted in a first little trip. This park has nice easy trails for bikes or hiking.
Lots of wildlife around. Fun little bunnies hopped nearby each morning. And we even had an armadillo visitor! We heard quite a few barred owls, and heard plenty of pileated woodpeckers, but it would have been nice to see one!
Watch for poison ivy. There’s plenty of it in certain areas. So get familiar with what it looks like ahead of time.
Cell service is pretty bad. But it’s nice not to have that distraction.
We paid $25 per night. But we have a Texas state park annual pass.

Although the sites only had 30-amp service, we were very pleased by its size (even though our RV is 43 feet long) and the neighboring wildlife - lots of deer roamed the park. The price was $25/night, but we also had to pay a $5/night/person fee for access to the park.

I stayed here as an overnight stop on the way home on a longer trip. It's not far off I-10, but far enough that it's quiet and calm. The RV sites are pull-through and full hookups, both of which are a bit unusual for Texas state parks.
Office staff are friendly and helpful... I called in the morning of the day I arrived because it was a last-minute decision for me, I was just too far from home to make the whole drive. They told me since I'd be arriving after the office closed and wanted to renew my TX State Parks card to just come to the A flat tire on the way put me behind schedule and another call to the office while they were still open assured me that I could get to a site when I finally arrived.
T-mo basically doesn't work, especially inside the Airstream. Sprint only picks up 3G. AT&T and Verizon work but aren't particularly fast.
My omnidirectional antenna with an amplifier only had mediocre reception... lots of pixellation and frozen images on most channels.
