From town: Go 6 mi E on Hwy 111.
Easily the nicest campgrounds we have had the pleasure to stay at. Most sites have a direct view of the water and are incredibly spacious and well priced. Full amenities for RV hookups, as well as the ability to put 3 tents per site if you are an old school camper like us. Each site includes a fire ring, BBQ grill, and picnic table too. Lots of activities for families like fishing, disk golf, kayaking, etc. The bathrooms were incredibly clean and even had a shower and washer/dryer included. There is a lot of wildlife to see as well so you can tell the grounds are well maintained. I did not get a chance to see what their office/store had in stock but we definitely plan to come back for many more times this summer as a safe vacation!
I’m very disappointed! The campground is beautiful but kids are not allowed to be kids!
The park is perfect for kids to ride around and play but we just had security show up and tell us that our sons Power Wheels that goes 3 mph was not allowed and that we needed to put it in the back of the truck. We didn’t even try to bring out the older kids scooters. Beautiful place if you want to just come and sit back but not for kids that like to explore. Unfortunately we will not be back.
They have basketball, volleyball, disc golf and putt putt but you can only play those for so long.
We are in spot 58 and it’s beautiful. Long and secluded.
What a gem! Brackenridge is surprisingly equipped to be a resort rather than your run of the mill state park RV site. There are many recreation activities to do here. Nature walks, fishing, volleyball, basketball, softball, boating, wildlife observing, and several playgrounds. It has something for everyone. There is a small general store at the front office. The bathrooms were clean. The grounds were clean. There is on duty security that patrols during the day and night. There is an abundance of wildlife from deer, birds, armadillos, and squirrels. Plenty of beautiful trees, perfect for climbing. I would absolutely visit this park again. I enjoyed our time.
Really big park with a lot to do. There are miles of walking and biking trails, a fishing pier, a playground, three bath houses (two of them have laundry), and a camp store.
We stayed in a pull through site. The pavement isn't great, and the roads are the same as the site pavement, which makes it difficult to figure out where you are supposed to drive. We arrived after the office closed, so we grabbed our packet from the basket out front. There were no directions to our site. It was a good thing that many sites were empty because I had to go through one the wrong way in order to get to ours.
We spent 5 nights here on two visits in a week long trip and will definitely consider it in the future. Another thing to consider is signal. Our Verizon and AT&T signal wasn't great, and the park wifi wasn't fast enough for good streaming. We keep DVDs in the coach, so it wasn't a big deal for us.
We took a few days to relax here with our RV. Did a little fishing and trail walks. The shower, restroom, and laundry areas are very well maintained and clean. It was nice to see this. We saw a variety of wildlife. Upon entering a herd of 7 deer lounging at the entrance sign. On our walks we saw another group of deer, a great heron, red bird pairs, a red-headed woodpecker, a 2-3' alligator relaxing on the water lilies, and numerous squirrels. Several times we saw security make the rounds too. We had a great time and will return.
