Davis Mountains State Park
Explore Mile-High Mountains in One of West Texas' Best Kept Secrets

An early project of the Civilian Conservation Corps, this place is teeming with gray oak, juniper, and uncommon bird species. Fun fact—the bird blind in the park is one of the best in West Texas. Spanning 2,700 acres in the Davis Mountain foothills, the park offers 12 miles of trails. Feeling ambitious? You can hike or mountain bike all the way to Fort Davis National Historic Site.
Camping options range from rustic backpacking sites to RV sites with full hookups. Wherever you book, you can look forward to popping a beer and kicking back with mountain views. The historic Indian Lodge is another option, offering 39 rooms and a swimming pool.
