The staff was friendly and efficient at check-in and during our visit. Deer abound in this park. One watched me set up my trailer. There were a few incidents, basically no fault of the park. First, there is a burn ban in effect due to drought conditions in this part of Texas. No campfires or charcoal fires. Second, there was a pipe failure and we lost water pressure on Friday of Labor Day weekend. They called in a repair crew and they fixed it in the wee hours of Saturday morning. Noisy for campers, but it fixed the problem. Then, wouldn’t you know it started raining every afternoon and evening of our 4-night stay. There was a drainage problem on our site, but I would say that is the exception. I should have selected more carefully, but it was kind of hard to pick out, especially since they didn’t have any rain to speak of all summer up until now. I would pick a site on the outside of the trailer loop on far side away from the entrance road or near the bath house. All trailer sites are pull-through, 30-amp, full hookup with shade. There's a nice looking golf course on site. We had a report that the bath house in the tent area was in poor shape but ours seemed very clean. Most sites are well shaded. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wonderful park! Wildlife every where. It was very quiet and the people were nice. It was also pet friendly. All sites are pull through. I would recommend this park to everyone. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful setting among large trees with deer roaming the park morning and night. Sites are well laid out and were not a problem for our 40 footer. Park grounds are super maintained without losing any of the feeling of being in the woods. Low power reading (107 volts)and weak breaker at site caused some concern but would not stop us from returning. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Fantastic park. Lots of wildlife and its very quite. Great pull thru sites. The location should be listed as Sealy, TX as San Felipe is just a spot in the road with a very active policeman. Every time we went by he had someone stopped. Speed limit is 40 in the middle of nowhere so be cautious. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was an outstanding park. It is located in a beautiful heavily forested area along the Brazos River. There are wonderful hiking and biking trails. We saw deer in the mornings and evenings. The park is remote and there is no traffic noise. About all you ever hear are birds. The sites are all long pull-thrus with lots of shade and space. Only a few of the sites were occupied so we had plenty of privacy. Despite the trees, we were able to hook up to satellite TV. Verizon and AT&T cell phone coverage was not very good. Our Sprint Internet card worked. The facilities and grounds are well maintained and the staff is very helpful. There is a golf course and club house with dining facilities. This park is our idea of a perfect getaway and we look forward to returning. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We really enjoyed this park. The deer freely roamed through the campsites. The hike and bike trails were nice. There is also a nice golf course at the entrance of the park. We plan to stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a nice State Park with easy access to I-10, just west of Houston. They have easy access pull-thrus. They also have nice bike trails for hiking and biking. In general, just a nice place to relax. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

What a nice surprise, so close to a big city like Houston. Lots of shade and wildlife. Deer wandered through the campsite early mornings and evenings. Short hike to Brazos River. Will stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Easy to get to state park. Very clean and the pull throughs were all accessible to any size rig. Would stay here anytime. Right off I-10 about 10 minutes west of Katy (Houston area). On the edge of the Brazos River. Has an excellent golf course next to it with great fees for seniors (played in cart for less than $20). Easy driving distance to Katy Mills outlet Mall. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
