My family is all about the State Parks of Texas. We already have park passes, so the per person fee didn't effect us. None of the pull-thrus have sewer yet, but the park is currently working on upgrading all sites to sewer and 50 amps. Currently, only 1-10 have sewer. These sites are not on the creek. Half of them face the golf course. Even if you didn't need sewer, you need to be careful on the pull-thrus. They are an older, half-moon shaped pull-thru with trees all over. I don't believe my 32ft 5th wheel could make it into these sites. The full hookup sites are level enough that nobody seemed to need levelers. The hookups are to the side of the RV sites, so I had to be careful of the slide-out, but hose lengths weren't a problem. The small stream allowed for a few good fishing spots (you never need a fishing license of any kind when fishing inside a Texas state park, but it is catch-and-release only). The park was nice. There was a newer plastic playscape with slides and climbing gear. The swingset was another matter. It was an old, 4 swing set, but only one of the swings were on it and it wasn't a baby swing (which we needed). We solved that problem at the Walmart (just 5-10 minutes down the road)by purchasing a cheap baby swing. The pools don't open until May 23rd, so we didn't swim. There was a basketball court, but we didn't play on it. There are plenty of areas with trees, but also a lot of areas with no trees which provided good locations for flying kites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Rate shown is for full hookups (water & electric is $16), rate does not reflect $2 per person, per day park fee (Buy a TX Parks Pass!). Friendly personnel in this clean, quiet, CCC constructed park with a golf course. The park is close to town and shopping. Sites 1-10 are back-in, full hookup and are arranged in a circular formation, 11-20 are water & electric only, and are 3 back-ins and 5 crescent shaped PT's. Suggest you look at the park's website and download the park map for more details. Slightly bumpy asphalt roads, level sites, W/S/E hookups are near front for easy access. Good over-the-air HDTV, 1 bar Alltel cell, and good weather radio reception. (NOTE - 4 bar cell reception is possible if you go to the Rec Hall at the top of the hill within the park). A few hiking trails. The park is small and unless you golf, there isn't much to do. I STRONGLY suggest you call ahead as the park fills for the weekend and since there is a pool, I assume the summer is busy. I also recommend you pay the extra $2 per night and get a full hook-up site - these sites will accomodate any rig whereas the PTs are different sizes and the connections are placed in the wrong places. I am a big fan of TX state parks and while I like the quiet this park offers, I will stop again only for a few nights at the most if I am passing by; I will not make this park a destination.

The rate is for full hookup site. Water & Electric sites are less. In addition, $2 per person is charged. If a couple spends more than 15 days, in Texas parks, you should get an annual pass ($60) that's good for the daily per-person entry fee for all people in a single vehicle. (See the Texas State Park web site for details.) You can buy the pass when you check-in. Lockhart State Park is a small and very quiet park that features a 9-hole golf course, hiking trails, and a swimming pool (seasonal). A lovely creek runs through the park. The 10 full hook-up, back-in sites are easy for a big rig to get into we had no trouble with our 43' rig. The sites are located near the golf course fairway, with about half offering a view of the course. These sites offer 50 Amps. The 10 Water & Electric (20 or 30 Amp only) sites running along the creek can accommodate smaller rigs, but only one or two of them could take a rig over 30-35 feet. Verizon cell service is very spotty. Other cell phones worked OK. This is the third time we've stayed here and we'll likely visit again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park is small (10 sites with electric and 10 sites with full hookups). Nice clean quite park with great people running the park. In spite of recent floods, the park and golf course is in good condition...The golf course (9 hole) adjoins the park and is in good shape... Will stay here again, hopefully next year.
