Cool place to visit and loved the history. We would love to see some of the old cabins from the 20’s restored. Place needs a little TLC but still super fun to visit and Phillip was extremely nice as well as Johnny.
Will be back in the Spring.

My wife and I, along with a friend and two dogs stayed here for 4 nights and absolutely loved it! We stayed in a class b camper at the site closest to one of the cabins. Full electric hookups, fresh water, and black/gray water dump area. Johnnie was very pleasant to communicate with and he was also quick to respond to messages. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway with beautiful views and lots of exploring I would definitely recommend this place!

I enjoyed this campsite! Directly on top of a ridge where if you walk down the ridge and a few steps to the right you are on the old zoo trail.
Some things I learned:
No service for me (Verizon user) unless I was on the dam (which I enjoyed being away from)
The guy who watches the camp is very helpful and kind and his dogs a gentle giant. Loved Thor and so did my small dog.
The site is more rock than dirt so I couldn’t stake my tent in the ground and it did get pretty windy on the ridge one night for us (be strategic with car parking + trees around you and put rocks in my tent to help.
There are toilets at the zoo trailhead so if you don’t mind walking a little you can use a toilet while tent camping.
1-2 nights max is what I’d recommend! The zoo trail is smaller so that + some paddle boarding on the lake maxed my time out. Any more nights and I’d be spending time outside the site/trail.

It was isolated enough to have that “ wilderness vibe “, but all the while knowing your just minutes from town. That’s old zoo down the way just tops it off. Our trip was cut short due to a medical emergency ( unrelated to the campsite lol)but we will definitely be back when we can enjoy our stay longer.

The spot was really nice! There was a sink, toilet, and shower on sight, and a beautiful view. We had no issues while we were there. There’s no service out there so the free WiFi was super convenient. We also had a really sweet dog visit us which was an added bonus (not sure where he came from). We would definitely camp there again!

We had the best time at this campground. We arrived before dark- wise choice. Phillip greeted us and showed us our site. What a unique experience camping next to a zoo abandoned in the 30's just 100' away with a trail to Cisco Lake. The limestone outbuildings are impressive. There are trees but we had no problem navigating our 35' TT. This is an authentic experience with an old Texas hill country feel. We wish we had more time to stay and explore the area.

What a nice setting in the woods with walking trails through the old zoo caves, the large pool, and the old park. Pleasantly surprised. Plenty of room for two travel trailers 35’ long. Always a pleasure to come upon a unique out of the way Hipcamp. Many thanks to Johnie and all.

We loved the quiet secluded area. We were the only ones there last weekend and it was like having our own little oasis. Very close walk to the lake and the zoo both. The hiking and trails leave straight from the campground. We will go back. Very friendly staff and very easy to work with.

Perfect place for privacy and adventure. Cisco lake is within walking distance of your site. There are only two rv sites. How great is that? Johnnie is a wonder host with a lot of knowledge about this area. There is 30-50 amp with water and sewage. You will need a longer hose for the sewage. The old zoo and trails are really fun taking you back in history. When we arrived, Philip another host was there to greet us and show us around if needed. This area is very secluded and woodsy. We love it so much. We are definitely going to try a once a year trip here. I’m not sure what the guy who wrote the review was talking about when he was saying something about buying meth. There was nothing of that nonsense anywhere. We highly suggest if you like privacy and adventure and a nice family town book this place now. They will have a spot for you. Thank you for taking the time to read our review.
