A nice, if rustic, RV park with full hookups, electric and water sites and tent sites. The roads are gravel and pretty narrow in a couple of spots but we were able to pull our 31' travel trailer through easily. The RV spots were gravel and pretty level with a large concrete pad with a large concrete picnic table, plenty of room for extra chairs on the pad.

Lake Wood mostly disappeared after the 2016 dam break but there is still a small lake above the dam although there is no direct access for kayaking/canoeing. You can walk to it for fishing.

Below the dam the Guadalupe River was good for swimming, fishing, kayaking/canoeing and wading. Several groups set up pop-ups in the water or on the shore and the water is mostly shallow with a mostly sandy shore so it was kid-friendly. My 13 y/o son and I kayaked 1 mile downstream and only had to pull the kayak over one short shallow spot. The flow downstream is good and didn't really have to paddle. Coming back upstream 95% if the way was an easy paddle due to the width of the river. About 100 to 150-ish feet the channel is narrow, shallow and fast and my son was barely able to help paddle through it and I had to work at almost maximum effort.
