This is a great park for those who want to hike or bicycle or have a safe place for their kids to ride and play. It is quiet, but there is some road noise from a main highway about 2 miles away, but nothing objectionable. Some of the sites were a little closer together than you find in most state parks. While this park is listed as Big Rig friendly, I am guessing that about 30% of the sites would not accommodate rigs in excess of 37 feet. The park staff was friendly and helpful. The park is connected by a beautiful winding and hilly road to Bastrop State Park about 12 miles away. This park road is narrow with blind curves and low overhead clearance, so fifth wheelers and motorhomes beware. Overall, we had an enjoyable experience and we will definitely return again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a typical State Park, with pretty scenery, and adequate, but smallish sites. We didn't care for the fact that the site next door had a fire ring that was almost directly under our slideout, and unfortunately, they did almost all of their cooking there. The park has nice hiking trails, a fishing lake, and a scenic road that connects to Bastrop State Park ( a pretty drive, but don't try it with your trailer- there is very little overhead clearance). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very clean, quiet, and great place to hike and bike. The Lost Pines are beautiful. Our camp host on the Cozy Circle was very nice and helpful. Thanks Larry. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is state park camping at its best. Since we live nearby, we have camped here a number of times. The park staff is friendly and willing to do anything they can to make your stay enjoyable. There is no highway noise. The park itself is nicely wooded and there is a road that runs between Buescher State Park and Bastrop State Park, Park Road One. Smithville is just a few miles with a grocery store, gas stations and restraurants. Wal-Mart is in both neighboring towns and no more than 17 miles away. If you are looking for a state park without all the bells and whistles but is quiet and relaxing, this is the one. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is the park that many don't know about. It is 12 miles from Bastrop State Park which is one of the more popular parks in the area. Having stayed at both, I like Buescher better as it is more remote and doesn't have the traffic noise that Bastrop SP has. Very clean, nice folks running things. One area of the park is mostly trailers and motorhomes, another area for tents, and another for smaller trailers and pop-ups. Good fishing lake in the middle of the park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
