Lockhart State Park 7 out of 10

Lockhart State Park

Lockhart, Texas

April 2009

This State Park is located about an hour from us. It was an easy drive down the I30 Tollway and South 183. The park is really close to town. It was pretty busy with lots of golf traffic. Yep, the park has a 9 hole golf course and clubhouse. The park also has a large swimming pool, full basketball court, and 20 RV camping sites.

The first ten RV spots are in a circle and are big enough for large

trailers. They have level paved pads, fire ring and covered picnic

tables. They are relatively close together and have limited shade.

The second ten RV spots are along the river. Some of these spots are pull-thru, but most of them are pretty small and are ideal for

pop-ups. Without being able to reserve a specific spot, I would recommend arriving early before the weekend crowd to get a spot that would fit your rig.

The park also has a pavilion that overlooks the park. There are several hiking trails that connect the pavilion to the other parts of the park.

Running through the park is Clear Fork Creek. Not really big enough to tube, but still pretty.

- Swimming Pool

- Creek

- Good Hiking Trail

Cons
