The best camping near Copper Breaks State Park guide

Overview

About

Big sky and big cattle are big parts of this state park. A portion of the official Texas longhorn herd lives in the park.

This is also a Dark Sky Park. That means there aren't any bright city lights to spoil your nighttime stargazing efforts. Bring a star chart, binoculars, and telescope to see millions and millions of stars. You might glimpse some planets and orbiting satellites, too.

During the day, two lakes provide water-based activities. Bring your own boat to Copper Breaks Lake and Big Pond. Leisurely set out in your canoe or kayak for a slow-paced day on the water.

The lake has rainbow trout for anglers. Feel free to swim and cool off in the blue water. Kite flying and mountain biking are also popular here. The surrounding hills have some great campsites nestled among the trees and scrub.

Around 24 sites have electricity and water, while 11 sites use just water. Thirteen equestrian sites let you camp with your trusty steed. Six hike-in sites offer rustic camping.

Notable campgrounds

  • Big Pond Equestrian Campsites: Open to all, these sites offer a front-row seat to breathtaking sunrises and sunsets.
  • Drive-up Sites: Conveniently located with amenities, perfect for those seeking comfort amid the wild.
