The best camping in San Angelo State Park, TX guide

Overview

About

If you like your camping with a side of history, try this West Texas park. 50 miles of multi-use trails lead bikers, hikers and equestrians on an exciting journey. You'll see rivers, ancient animal tracks, Native American rock art, and rugged wilderness.

For those who're into more structured activities, there are lots of opportunities for wildlife watching. Check out the Official Texas State Longhorn Herd, as well as the American Bison! Other activities include birdwatching, geocaching, fishing in the O.C. Fisher Reservoir, and hunting. You can get an annual hunting permit from the park if necessary.

The park's busiest season is in summer, but water levels can be low in dry weather. Therefore, swimmers and fishers should call the park before visiting! The park offers many campsites, with some suitable for primitive camping. There are also premium sites that you can book, with full water and electricity hookups.

San Angelo Campground

Staff was great! I showed up just before 10pm and the gate was closed. I pulled over and tried to figure out my next move when a worker, who I had obviously woken up, came cheerfully to assist me and help me find a site. The sites are very spread out, even for the RVers. The facilities, picnic tables and bath house, do show their age a bit. Definitely desert climate with plenty of pest to bother you throughout the day and night. I could barely get my tent stakes in the ground it was so dry. I can't comment on the trails or other activities as my stay was just an overnighter. It was very quiet, which is always my biggest concern.
