This is a fairly nice park but they have several problems. They state they have Wi-Fi, but it didn't work about half the time we were here. There was virtually no grass at any of the sites, but an ABUNDANCE of cockleburrs. Our rig is covered in them and our poor dogs too! If the burrs weren't enough, the fire ants were deadly!!! They had a party for the park on the 3rd that lasted until 1AM with loud booming music!! We wanted some friends to come have dinner with us on the 4th but the park wanted to charge them $35 just to come in for a couple of hours! We will NOT stay here again! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice park located on a hill with very level sites. Each site is grass with gravel roads. There are two speed bumps but not so big to be a bother. The crew is excellent and took me around in a golf cart to see available sites. No cable TV but we received about 12 OTA (over the air) channels. Has a nice pool and spa. The restrooms were clean the first day but could have used some attention the second morning. They are on the small side but adequate. A few shade sites but they cost more. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We picked a great time to visit Texas Hill Country. The wildflowers were in full bloom. And this campground is surrounded by them. The views across the lake are outstanding. There were few campers here this time of year. The place was very quiet. The office staff seemed to have limited hours, which is understandable with so few camp sites being used. We will go back again if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We thoroughly enjoyed our first stay at Big Chief. The sites were really nice and large, had picnic tables, several nice shade trees, a fabulous view of the lake, with lots of nice green grass! Had wonderful walking trails and great facilities. One of the nicer pools we've seen. We booked an additional stay before we had checked out of our first stay. I would highly recommend. We camped here in a Motorhome.

First park for our new 5th wheel, rented monthly at winter $200 rate and spent long weekends here. WiFi was very weak in the sites but good in the rec hall. Landscaping was very nice, had a beautiful small pool. Spring break had lots of kids and activity, all very nice. Great areas to walk dogs, though lots of "soft" burrs had to be combed out. Has a wonderful staff. Sunsets over the lake were not to be missed. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground was very easy to find from the instructions provided. The attendant working the desk was pleasant and had an info packet already compiled with directions to our camp spot. The campground itself was nicely arranged with quite a few spots with larger trees. There are multiple dog walk's, a reasonable clubhouse with some activities lined-up, and a good number of pull-through slots. While the campground itself is on a bit of a grade, the camp spots themselves were all fairly level. The campground also had very good views of the sunset over the lake. Overall: clean, quiet, moderately picturesque and reasonably priced. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A very nice establishment. Everything is very clean and organized. Great pool, clean restrooms, and courteous staff. We will definitely visit again. The only problem encountered was occasional sewer smell in our campsite. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice pool, however poor lakefront sites. Nice staff. Big sites, but it didnt have a great feel to it. I'd probably try a state park next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground on Lake Buchanan, great area, awesome views. The cabin we had was very clean, well-stocked with glassware, dinnerware, cooking utensils, linens, and towels. All we needed to bring was clothes and food. Office staff was courteous and bathrooms/showers were clean. Park could be manicured just a bit as to weeds, gravel in sites, lights out at sites, etc. We didn't have our MH, but it looked like some sites needed work so they would be level. WIFI was available (free) but was slow. Overall nice place and we would definitely stay again when in the area. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

Very clean, very nice park. It sits up so that you can see the Dam and lake. The view is awesome. The pool, hot tub, game room and exercise room were all clean and well-maintained. The bathrooms are private and again, clean. We camped in pull-thru #58, by the pool. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great park right on the lake. Sites were long and level. Nice pavilion with a great July 4th celebration provided by the owners. Beautiful pool and hot tub area. Security gate. We will definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good place to camp. Great access to lake. Well maintained. Wifi was a little sketchy, but this is camping. Hope to go again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

most sites shady and level, paved roads, pool area is something else, wide sites, take Passport We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park is nice being brand new. Absolutley no parking for your boat must take out of water each time. Lot of amenities but weekly rate of $140 or $350-400 monthly is WAY out of line compared to other parks at $165-200 for waterfront. Probally won't go back... Toooo rich for my blood. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Level, wide, graveled sites. Some shaded. Paved roads and easy maneuvering. Locked, coded gate. Good water pressure. Hot tub and swimming pool that compliment the natural rock surroundings. Store, rally and fitness room, laundry. Boat ramp. Pull-thru and water front sites cost more. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Canyon of the Eagles is a very nicely maintained park and we definitely enjoyed our stay. The sites are well maintained, fairly large, and easy to get into and out of. Since it is an LCRA park, it is a little expensive. The sites are $20 a night plus a $4 day use fee for each adult so for us that was $28 per day. We enjoyed the hiking trails but the lake level was so low, we didn't do any water activities. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Canyon of the Eagles, a LCRA "resort" (expensive for us) run by concessionaires. The resort is nice, with cabins a pretty good restaurant and beautiful views of Lake Buchanan near Burnet TX. There is an RV park just down the hill a short way from the resort. It was OK, but not sure we'll go again. Not allowed to use the pool at the resort (but allowed to spend $$ at the restaurant) and the lake access for swimming was VERY limited, summer in TX near a lake and can't get in??. There was a very nice amateur celestial observatory on the property that was a highlight. As for the RV park itself, spaces were $23 per night PLUS $4/day/person use fee, sites were narrow, not level, views of lake very limited. So, our next trip (from San Antonio) in this direction will be Ink Lake St Park. Been there before, good lake access and views! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed for for two weeks in April. Very nice, quiet park. Contrary to a previous review, we were invited to use any of the facilities at the lodge, which is located next to the RV loop. These included pool, restaurant, live music performances and a cowboy poetry night. Cell service is very iffy here. The lodge has a wireless network signal, but we could not connect to the Internet from there, and nobody seemed to know how to troubleshoot. When we were there, the park store and kayak rental concession were closed. We did bring an inflatable kayak which we paddled around the lake in. The lake is very low right now, and the Vanishing River cruise (which we did not take) does not travel its traditional route up to the northern part of the lake due to navigation issues. Instead, it visits other sites on the lake. There are many things to do in the surrounding area, but the campground itself is at the end of a 15 mile road, which in turn is 3 miles from the nearest town, so dashing down to the grocery store is close to a 4 mile trip out and back. Overall, we loved this place and would definitely go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park was very quiet and beautiful. There are lots of trails to walk or bike through. We took the Vanishing River Cruise but did not see any bald eagles. The lake levels were down about 15 feet due to a drought; so, there were places along the hiking trails that didn't have water that should have. Overall, we really enjoyed this spot. We would definitely stay here again. For reservations call: (512) 715-0290 We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Until this year, we would rate this park a 9 or a 10. THIS YEAR, LCRA has split the park up to different concessionaires, with the lodge and adjacent RV park being run by different companies. You no longer have access to the lodge facilities - this includes the pool. After 5 years of coming to this park, we won't be back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

this is a LCRA park in Burnet on Lake Buchanan. Beautiful view of the lake at some campsites. Facilities are very clean. Park Host on duty. It is 20.00 a night with a 5.00 user fee per adult. There are trails for bird viewing as well as wildlife. There are 2 fishing piers and one is great for watching the sunset and listening for wild ducks, cranes and other wildlife. Very relaxing environment. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice park. Will be coming back. Really friendly staff. Paved sites. No cable but we didn't even miss it with all the beauty, hiking trails, lake. Small and quiet. We loved it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We enjoyed staying at the park, the brush/grass around the sites could have been trimmed better as it was quite tall which made setting up a little inconvenient and required regularly cleaning burrs out of socks & shoes. Also, they could have better explained how they collect the fees for staying at the campground. Overall it was a good experience and we will return to the the park in the future and would recommend the park to friends. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice park, and park host was very helpful and friendly. Plenty to do in the area to include some great hiking trails of varying length. The trails are also bicycle friendly. The lodge is located very close to the RV park and has a gameroom restaurant and pool that were all very nice. We were slightly disappointed by a few things. The park is in a somewhat isolated area, the closest grocery store is in Burnett, about 20 miles away. My expectation was that the park store would have some basic essential items, bread, milk, water, firewood, and posibly some fishing bait as the park is located on a lake. No such luck, so my advice to future campers would be to bring everything that you will need for the length of your stay. The isolation does have its advantages as the view of the stars at night is incredible. The park is also very quiet. In addition to the base rate of $20 there is a $5 per day charge for everyone over 13. We ended up paying $30 a night which was probably appropriate, however if my kids were older $35-$50 a night, I feel would be excessive. Some other things you should be aware of: The lake levels are low and about half of the hiking trails are closed from 1 Mar - 31 Aug for various birds mating in the area, even with those trails closed there is still plenty on hiking. Also, depending on your cell phone carrier there is limited to no cell coverage. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was our second trip to the park. Full hookups, free wireless, swimming pool, beautiful views of the lake from the lodge area. There are many things to do here. Fishing, boating, swimming, hiking, biking. There's a large observatory where they give tours of the sky. The Vanishing Texas River Cruise operates from the park, giving lunch and dinner cruises up Lake Buchanan and up the Colorado river - in the winter you can see bald eagles nesting along the river. Definitely one of our favorite parks near Austin. Much less crowded than Inks Lake or Bastrop State Parks. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Awesome park owned by the LCRA (Lower Colorado River Authority). Definitely recommend. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Near Burnet, quiet/in the country, easy getting around, in a large park, Vanishing Texas River Cruise, paved wide sites, small store We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Campground part of very new and well equipped recreation complex operated by city of Burnet. Camping fee gives full access to all recreational facilities including two indoor pools, walking track, exercise room and various sports facilities. They have weekly ($140) and monthly ($300) rates. Golf is very close by at a wonderful municipal course. Camping area was neat and clean. A laundry facility on campground was nearly ready to open. Phone # 512-756-6180 We camped here in a Motorhome.

Have stayed here since I was 10 years old for many camping trips. I am now 51, still like bringing my own family here. Very nice place to stay with your family. Patrolled good by park personnel. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Inks Lake is a wonderful place for kids and families. The place was packed and noisy on the weekends, empty and peaceful during the weekdays. Great hiking, biking, and water-related activities. Very scenic. Lots to do and see, and the lake level remains normal even during a bad drought thanks to underground aquifers. The park can accommodate 40’ rigs, but just barely. We squished our slide topper trying to make a very tight left turn while exiting the park. Almost all sites are out of level to an extreme degree. I would suggest arriving Monday-Thursday to select a good site, and be sure to have plenty of leveling blocks. We had 6, they were inadequate. All in all a very nice campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is a little slice of Heaven. We were in an absolutely wonderful site, 267 , by the waterfront with lots of level paved room, and a huge mowed lawn with unobstructed views to the lake. Best site we have ever had. And there were many other fantastic sites. It is first come first serve and we arrived on Monday and had a choice of 2 or 3 lake front sites. in the 200 loop. Bathrooms were clean. Showers are unisex which I do not like as much but they were mostly clean and my husband liked much better because they are big and secure. We have hike all 4 nature trails and the wildflowers are the best we have ever seen anywhere and we have been all over the US . We live 1200 miles away but we will be back to this gem of a state park. It is about 10 to 15 miles to nearest town. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We love it here, been here before and will return. Great State Park, very friendly and helpful staff and fellow campers. Can't say enough good things about this park, they even now have a few sites with sewer. One of our most favorite parks, hands down. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed here for 3 days and 4 nights during February. Great State Park with friendly and courteous rangers and park host. Was assigned a site to accommodate my fifth wheel. Once I got to the site it was occupied, but they had given me other sites to choose from to accommodate the rig. They too were occupied. Chose a different site that was great. Had a view of the lake from three sides of the RV. Park Rangers took the time to identify the different birds that we were seeing as we looked around the park store. As we were leaving, a park host offered to help me as I used the trailer dump station. Once the Rangers found out that my wife and I had an opportunity to be a park host at another state park, the staff was trying to recruit us for the summer months. Only advise I would give, is that if you plan on staying at Inks Lake State Park, make your reservations early. I have been trying to get a three day week end since February with no openings 3 days in a row on a week end. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camp here every Memorial Day and Labor Day. The park is completely full plus the dozens of "day users" that come in. The Rangers always do an awesome job of controlling and containing any rowdy or unlawful behavior. They have a new concession stand on site (Chris' Landing). It looked busy but we didn't try it out. It certainly helps during this long Texas drought that Inks is a constantly level lake. The water was cool and refreshing, the sites are spacious and some shaded and/ or right on the lake. We're looking forward to our trip Labor Day! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

After much research, we chose Inks Lake State Park to begin our Hill Country motorhome tour. Arriving in the rain, the rangers in park headquarters were very helpful and picked out everyone's favorite camping spot, #92, which is a few feet from the water's edge and has a panoramic view of the lake. We purchased a Texas State Park Pass for this trip and our 4-day stop here already paid for half the $60 cost. The sites are level, gravel back ins with lots of shade. Clean restrooms and showers were a welcome sight. The on site camp store had all the necessities, including ice. I would highly recommend this park. We spent most of our time biking, hiking, relaxing and fishing in this very well run and clean park, only venturing out to do laundry in Burnet, pick up supplies at the Wal-Mart in Marble Falls, and visit a few antique stores in Llano. We only ate out once, at the Highlander in Burnet. Good, southern food buffet for only $8.99. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Lots of sites right on the lake. Good fishing. Very busy park on the weekends. Interesting geology tour on the weekend is offered by the rangers. Great WiFi close to the restrooms. Texas censors what can be seen on their WiFi, and requires an annoying acceptance of their restrictions at least daily, which can shut down the link. Not very close to town. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Our family really enjoyed this park, there was something for everyone. The kids enjoyed the fishing pier, the swimming hole and cruising the huge park on their bikes. We also enjoyed the same amenities but also the spacious sites and the abundance of wildlife present in the park. Most sites are shady and there are quite a few of waterfront sites if you get here early enough to get one. We did have to level in our site and so did our friends in the next site over. The store was nice and also kayak and canoes were available for rental. The restrooms and showers were fairly clean for a Labor Day weekend. Another plus is the close proximity to Longhorn Caverns State Park. We will return to this park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a great campground. It is very kid friendly, with lots of things to do and a lot of wild life. We will be back soon. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stay here several times a year. It's always great. Texas now has a new state reservation system. If you want in the 200# sites (by Devil's Waterhole) you MUST reserve a 50 amp site -- whether you need it or not for your RV/Pop Up. The poles have both 50/30amp but if you reserve for 30amp you will NOT be on the east side of the park. Also Internet is extremely unreliable. I was never able to get a connection either at the park store or the office. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is an incredible park on a beautiful lake. The showers and bathrooms were reasonably clean, though not perfect. It did not seem that they were cleaned daily. The sites vary greatly in terms of size and amenities. Our only complaint is that on the weekends, the park gets very full and sometimes loud. It is definitely a family oriented park, and therefore on the weekends it is full with kids and pets etc. We would stay again. We were here 10 days. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is another fantastic Texas State Park. Well run, clean and has friendly staff and campers. The lake is beautiful and peaceful with some wildlife roaming around. We had a great lakeside site, and it is close to Seminole Cavern State Park so we did the cavern tour too. It's a nice park to just go out and walk around. Our Verizon air card worked great, but neither our Verizon or Sprint cell phones worked here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a typical Texas State Park...very nice! I would say that the only drawback is that it is one of the most confusing layouts I've ever experienced. Most of the time, it doesn't take me long to figure out where I am going, but this campground had many winding roads that lead you where you don't want to go. The lake is small but beautiful and the wildlife is plentiful. Really nice hikes of various difficulties. We visited on what is usually an off season time and the park seemed quite full. This had pretty much everything I could want. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is one of the best of the Texas State Parks. The lake is beautiful and at a constant level, so it's always full despite the drought. Boat rentals are available, and there's a small store in the park. Both have fairly reasonable prices. Sites are level and clean. A great deal of activity is visible from both the park employees and camp hosts. When we were here the park was completely full. A couple of caveats: the park has many loops and roads, which can be confusing, especially at night. The route to the exit is not well marked, so be sure you keep a park map in your vehicle. The daily fee for a water & electric site is $20, but there is also a daily fee of $5 per adult and, if you bring more rolling stock than a trailer and tow vehicle, there's a $6 daily fee for each extra vehicle. We enjoyed our stay and will come back some day. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is our favorite Texas State Park! It’s pretty easy to get a lake front spot and just a beautiful setting. Several of the restrooms and showers have been remodeled for more security and privacy. However, the facilities have no AC and they have very poor ventilation. Walking into the individual shower rooms is like walking into a sauna. We were there over the 4th of July when the park was very full. It looked like the restrooms were cleaned daily. You can rent canoes and kayaks for a reasonable price at the camp store. Devil's Watering Hole is a must see! We will go back here every year! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great state park, although I wish they had more professional office staff. The two young people made a mess out of our reservation and basically said it was up to me to kick someone out of our reserved site. Yikes. (These folks weren't rangers, probably just college students in summer jobs.) Other than that, it is a gorgeous setting with lots to do. It includes a camp store, boat rentals, and etc. Many sites have shade trees and are on the water. The place does get busy on the weekends; we were here Tues-Sun and sure like Tues-Thurs best. I liked the place so much that we bought a Texas State Park pass, even though we don't live in TX. We do come through here a lot, so we'll get the use out of it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Absolutely great! Has the It-factor! Great well spaced sites. Wi-Fi has been added and most of the restrooms/showers have been rebuilt. They are well planned and kept clean. Started with a one day stay and extended two more days. Will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Inks Lake is a great campground. We had a blast and this is probably our favorite Texas campground so far. There is tons to do from and the area is just beautiful. We enjoyed kayaking, swimming and fishing in the lake. The only reason I didn't rate it a 10 was that 3 of the bathhouses were under renovation and were unusable making the one in our area of the park extremely busy and crowded on a memorial day weekend. We will definitely stay at Inks Lake again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A fabulous find. Very scenic and quiet in the middle of the week. We stayed Monday - Thursday and couldn't extend as campground was full from reservations. Understand the weekends are a far cry from the serenity we enjoyed. We hiked all the trails, some more scenic than others, but all good exercise. Thought we would ride bikes on trails, but numerous rock outcropping made the trails more suitable for feet than bikes. Rate reflects Texas State Park Pass, otherwise daily entrance fee is $5. Would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We spent the weekend at Inks Lake State Park. Beautiful Park, campsites right on the lake, lots of trees, several nature trails. The sites were paved and near level. Fishing was said to be great, but I did not get a chance to fish. Our camping club FCRV spent the weekend their as guest (no charge) in return for a day of work. The only drawback was the lack of sewer hooks ups (they had water and electricity). They were in the process of replacing the bathrooms. Many of the old ones had been bulldozed and they were awaiting new prefab bathhouses. I don’t know what the new ones will be like, the old ones seemed fine to me. Many trees were close to the sites, requiring careful backing. Pricing: $18.00 per site plus $5.00 per person We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A very nice state park. Some spots are for small trailers only. About half the sites are lake front. The staff is very nice, things are kept clean and well maintained. It can get kind of crowded during the weekends. We camped with friends and had a couple of sites. Each one had a fire pit/BBQ, nice table on slab, good shade trees and was level. We will go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is an excellent park with a friendly and informative staff. They have a number of instructional classes and adventure tours. We took a kayaking instructional class and they the park ranger took us on a kayak adventure to Devil's Hole. It was both fun and informative. There area for swimming in the lake and great roads for biking. Absolutely beautiful flora. This is a family friendly park. There is a nice playground for children and great picnic areas. I highly recommend this park. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Too expensive to visit. Very crowded when we went on a Sunday afternoon. Rather tight driving big home. Constant level lake is nice though. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great family park on a beautiful lake. Nice hiking areas and lots of wildlife. Deer are around all the time. Camp store on site. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Fairly spacious state park. Some sites level enough, others mild to moderate slopes. Surroundings by the lake are very nice and relaxing. There is an in park store and no lack of people in the park from day users to over night users. Some of the older park has some pretty trick turns but nothing unmangable. Try to get here early. I had one heck of a time backing my 30' TT into our space. This is a very popular park and we got there with only 3 total spaces left. Lots of shade in various places, water access is everywhere. We did a 24 hour canoe rental and canoed to different areas including parks and swimming areas. Overall above average state park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beautiful lake in the Texas Hill country with a 9 hole golf course up the road. You can go swimming in the Devil's Waterhole and jump off the rocks. Park rents paddle boats, kayaks, canoes, etc. Nice playgrounds, hiking trails and plenty of places to ride your bike. Some areas are tight especially for big Rigs. We have a 37' 5er and scraped a few branches getting to our spot. There are only 2 pull throughs and we got one of them, unfortunately we were too tall to pull through. I was able to pull in far enough to setup, but when we left we had to back out. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
