Spent a night camping at site #55 at McKinney Falls State Park and couldn’t have asked for a better setup. The campsite was conveniently close to two bathrooms and a shower, making the stay more comfortable. We hiked and biked across the entire park, enjoying the stunning landscapes along the way. The falls were absolutely beautiful, especially at sunset. From the serene Onion Creek to the scenic overlooks, every part of the park felt like a new adventure. Highly recommend for anyone looking to escape into nature for a day or weekend!
We camped in site 9 in our 35’ motorhome. It took some effort to get level, but overall a good site. About 30psi water and clean, steady 50amp. Good dump station. Excellent privacy on the camping side. The park is close to most of Austin, but everything is still at least 15 minutes away.
First time to stay here and quite frankly disappointed. We reserved our stay months ago and when we arrived our site wasn't mowed and trash all around. Tall grass everywhere. Our poor little dog was covered all in burrs wedged between paws and not to mention undercarriage. But right across was the park host and there site was immaculate.
My dog and I camped for 3 nights here, and we had a good experience. Bathrooms were clean with hot shower.
Beautiful park very close to Austin. Very popular either families, dog owners and runners. I was there when it opened on a Saturday and you can enjoy it in solitude for about 2-3hrs before the crowds start arriving. Still a great experience. Only reason for 4 stars is it’s not a very good place to fish unless you’re fishing for sunfish. Would highly recommend for a day with friends/family for a picnic.
