Everything was as expected and better. Such a great place to catch up on yourself. I felt safe and relaxed the whole time I was there. Peaceful and comfortable.

As always such a peaceful stay. Never any issues camping here. So glad to see the zoo trails as an official hiking location for all to enjoy.

A great little get pack in pack out location. Off grid of sorts and just as to be expected with primitive type camping. There was a large cart to use for bringing your gear. Bed was super comfy. It’s Texas so bring the necessities to prepare for the weather and bugs. We appreciated the citronella candle and mosquito wipes that were at the site when we arrived. If you have a keep it simple and open mind outlook, you will enjoy your time. If you go craving the creature comforts of home like hot showers, this one may not be for you. It was nice the be able to just breath and unwind.

It was fun to imagine what the area was like in its hay day. We have a 31ft pull behind travel trailer and was able to get in with a little maneuvering, but relatively easy. There are a lot of little grass burrs, not stickers that hurt. So be wary of that if you have a pup that’s fuzzy. There are a couple of German Shepard’s that roam the property. Super cute and very very friendly. Thor was our tour guide the two days we were there. I felt very comfortable having him with us as we explored. He will come over and hang out at your campsite and then go find the other campers to hang out with, then make his round back to us. There is a little girl dog that’s 9 months old she is super sweet too but has a puppy mentality. Thor put her in her place when she scared our little dog. Bring boots and jeans to go explore the abandoned zoo. We did not see any snakes but it’s Texas and they are all over. It’s a primitive area so don’t expect manicured lawns and cleared paths. It’s a get back to nature kind of stay. Very happy with our time and can’t wait to go back.

Very nice property, clean and manicured. lots of room to maneuver our 31ft trailer into the spot. The river was a short walk from all of the sites. We stayed in site 2, make sure you have a long sewer hose and water hose if your connections on your rig are in the middle instead of the back like ours and you are staying in site 2. If you have your hook ups in the back you shouldn’t have any issues. Plenty of space to set up chairs etc in the grass, next to your camper. Steel fire pit and picnic table can be moved to accommodate your set up. This is a great place to just hang out at the campsite and enjoy the great outdoors. Plenty of room to throw a ball around. No stickers down around the campsite we were in or on the walk to the river access. Up at the top near the dumpster there were so keep on the road. We went to a local farm homestead open to the public called Homestead Craft Village and picked up some local cheese and veggies for our burgers. Great place to visit but plan to spend all day there if you go and check out all of the places on the homestead....Fresh market, Gristmill, blacksmith shop, cheese cave and a lot more. It was a short drive and we were glad have been able to buy some great fresh local groceries for our camping meals. We will def be going back to camp here at Big Rocks on the Brazos, nice little place to get away.
