This campsite boasts stunning overlooks and is a great place for an overnight or two after hiking the steep and rugged terrain. There are composting toilets here, but you'll need to bring your own water. Sitting at almost 2500 feet, it gets cold at night, so be sure to bring an extra blanket or sweatshirt to stay comfortable under the stars.
There is a campsite fee in addition to the park entrance fee. A Texas State Parks Pass gives you free entry to the park and discounts on camping, depending on how many nights you stay.
