What a pretty park! The hills covered in Maple trees are just the perfect backdrop. The park policeman (very friendly) said that there are over 11 miles of hiking trails! Some of the trails are very steep and strenuous so make sure that you read the signs before you start. There is a beautiful pond for fishing. Our 10 year old daughter caught 18 fish in two hours! She used turkey for bait. The showers and restrooms were squeaky clean! Site #15 looks fabulous. We were unable to stay in it because it was already taken. We will be back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A small park in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, this one is worth the visit. Plan to hike and enjoy the trails, which wind back and forth across the Sabinal River. The sites are spacious, with a covered picnic shelter for each one. Site #15 is my favorite. Climb to the top of the canyon on a hiking trail or leave the park to get cell phone coverage. Better yet, just enjoy the maples and the river! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a nice, secluded campground with State Natural Area. We were too early in the season to see the changing of the leaves, but had a great time in this beautiful park. There were several hiking trails, the shortest of which was great even for three 4 year olds. And, the entire park (trails included) was immaculately clean. We never saw trash of any kind. A few of the trees were a little low getting to the RV area of the park, but once you get to the RV loop, it was clear, recently mowed, and easily accessible. Sites were nicely spaced. I was able to maneuver our 38 foot toy hauler with little hassle. The dump station was tight to get into because of the trees. The roads to the park from Bandera were steep and had many curves. Just make sure you take your time. We will definitely return. The bathhouse was clean in the mornings, but sure was warm in the afternoons. Each site has a nice cover over the picnic table, and also has a fire pit/grill. It would have been nice if the ranger station sold ice and firewood, but there is a little store about 4 miles down the road. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a lovely, small state natural area, away from highways and population centers. There are a few restaurants in nearby towns, but each site has a covered picnic table and there are also picnic tables along the river (in a different area than the campground). Peace and quiet and nature prevail -- nature hikes and wildlife. Very friendly and helpful staff, very nice nature exhibit, small gift shop. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is located in a beautiful part of Texas, the Hill Country. The surrounding area has not been disturbed, yet, with weekend homes. Much of the private land in the area has been fenced with "high" fences to hold exotic animals from all over the world. The major attraction at Lost Maples State Natural Area is the colorful leaves during October and November. Most roads to this park are very crooked and steep in places. There is an entry fee per person into the park. Adult - $5, Senior - $3. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
