We thoroughly enjoyed our first stay at Big Chief. The sites were really nice and large, had picnic tables, several nice shade trees, a fabulous view of the lake, with lots of nice green grass! Had wonderful walking trails and great facilities. One of the nicer pools we've seen. We booked an additional stay before we had checked out of our first stay. I would highly recommend. We camped here in a Motorhome.

First park for our new 5th wheel, rented monthly at winter $200 rate and spent long weekends here. WiFi was very weak in the sites but good in the rec hall. Landscaping was very nice, had a beautiful small pool. Spring break had lots of kids and activity, all very nice. Great areas to walk dogs, though lots of "soft" burrs had to be combed out. Has a wonderful staff. Sunsets over the lake were not to be missed. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground was very easy to find from the instructions provided. The attendant working the desk was pleasant and had an info packet already compiled with directions to our camp spot. The campground itself was nicely arranged with quite a few spots with larger trees. There are multiple dog walk's, a reasonable clubhouse with some activities lined-up, and a good number of pull-through slots. While the campground itself is on a bit of a grade, the camp spots themselves were all fairly level. The campground also had very good views of the sunset over the lake. Overall: clean, quiet, moderately picturesque and reasonably priced. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A very nice establishment. Everything is very clean and organized. Great pool, clean restrooms, and courteous staff. We will definitely visit again. The only problem encountered was occasional sewer smell in our campsite. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice pool, however poor lakefront sites. Nice staff. Big sites, but it didnt have a great feel to it. I'd probably try a state park next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground on Lake Buchanan, great area, awesome views. The cabin we had was very clean, well-stocked with glassware, dinnerware, cooking utensils, linens, and towels. All we needed to bring was clothes and food. Office staff was courteous and bathrooms/showers were clean. Park could be manicured just a bit as to weeds, gravel in sites, lights out at sites, etc. We didn't have our MH, but it looked like some sites needed work so they would be level. WIFI was available (free) but was slow. Overall nice place and we would definitely stay again when in the area. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

Very clean, very nice park. It sits up so that you can see the Dam and lake. The view is awesome. The pool, hot tub, game room and exercise room were all clean and well-maintained. The bathrooms are private and again, clean. We camped in pull-thru #58, by the pool. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great park right on the lake. Sites were long and level. Nice pavilion with a great July 4th celebration provided by the owners. Beautiful pool and hot tub area. Security gate. We will definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good place to camp. Great access to lake. Well maintained. Wifi was a little sketchy, but this is camping. Hope to go again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

most sites shady and level, paved roads, pool area is something else, wide sites, take Passport We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park is nice being brand new. Absolutley no parking for your boat must take out of water each time. Lot of amenities but weekly rate of $140 or $350-400 monthly is WAY out of line compared to other parks at $165-200 for waterfront. Probally won't go back... Toooo rich for my blood. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Level, wide, graveled sites. Some shaded. Paved roads and easy maneuvering. Locked, coded gate. Good water pressure. Hot tub and swimming pool that compliment the natural rock surroundings. Store, rally and fitness room, laundry. Boat ramp. Pull-thru and water front sites cost more. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Until this year, we would rate this park a 9 or a 10. THIS YEAR, LCRA has split the park up to different concessionaires, with the lodge and adjacent RV park being run by different companies. You no longer have access to the lodge facilities - this includes the pool. After 5 years of coming to this park, we won't be back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

this is a LCRA park in Burnet on Lake Buchanan. Beautiful view of the lake at some campsites. Facilities are very clean. Park Host on duty. It is 20.00 a night with a 5.00 user fee per adult. There are trails for bird viewing as well as wildlife. There are 2 fishing piers and one is great for watching the sunset and listening for wild ducks, cranes and other wildlife. Very relaxing environment. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice park. Will be coming back. Really friendly staff. Paved sites. No cable but we didn't even miss it with all the beauty, hiking trails, lake. Small and quiet. We loved it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We enjoyed staying at the park, the brush/grass around the sites could have been trimmed better as it was quite tall which made setting up a little inconvenient and required regularly cleaning burrs out of socks & shoes. Also, they could have better explained how they collect the fees for staying at the campground. Overall it was a good experience and we will return to the the park in the future and would recommend the park to friends. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice park, and park host was very helpful and friendly. Plenty to do in the area to include some great hiking trails of varying length. The trails are also bicycle friendly. The lodge is located very close to the RV park and has a gameroom restaurant and pool that were all very nice. We were slightly disappointed by a few things. The park is in a somewhat isolated area, the closest grocery store is in Burnett, about 20 miles away. My expectation was that the park store would have some basic essential items, bread, milk, water, firewood, and posibly some fishing bait as the park is located on a lake. No such luck, so my advice to future campers would be to bring everything that you will need for the length of your stay. The isolation does have its advantages as the view of the stars at night is incredible. The park is also very quiet. In addition to the base rate of $20 there is a $5 per day charge for everyone over 13. We ended up paying $30 a night which was probably appropriate, however if my kids were older $35-$50 a night, I feel would be excessive. Some other things you should be aware of: The lake levels are low and about half of the hiking trails are closed from 1 Mar - 31 Aug for various birds mating in the area, even with those trails closed there is still plenty on hiking. Also, depending on your cell phone carrier there is limited to no cell coverage. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was our second trip to the park. Full hookups, free wireless, swimming pool, beautiful views of the lake from the lodge area. There are many things to do here. Fishing, boating, swimming, hiking, biking. There's a large observatory where they give tours of the sky. The Vanishing Texas River Cruise operates from the park, giving lunch and dinner cruises up Lake Buchanan and up the Colorado river - in the winter you can see bald eagles nesting along the river. Definitely one of our favorite parks near Austin. Much less crowded than Inks Lake or Bastrop State Parks. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Awesome park owned by the LCRA (Lower Colorado River Authority). Definitely recommend. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Near Burnet, quiet/in the country, easy getting around, in a large park, Vanishing Texas River Cruise, paved wide sites, small store We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a typical Texas State Park...very nice! I would say that the only drawback is that it is one of the most confusing layouts I've ever experienced. Most of the time, it doesn't take me long to figure out where I am going, but this campground had many winding roads that lead you where you don't want to go. The lake is small but beautiful and the wildlife is plentiful. Really nice hikes of various difficulties. We visited on what is usually an off season time and the park seemed quite full. This had pretty much everything I could want. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is one of the best of the Texas State Parks. The lake is beautiful and at a constant level, so it's always full despite the drought. Boat rentals are available, and there's a small store in the park. Both have fairly reasonable prices. Sites are level and clean. A great deal of activity is visible from both the park employees and camp hosts. When we were here the park was completely full. A couple of caveats: the park has many loops and roads, which can be confusing, especially at night. The route to the exit is not well marked, so be sure you keep a park map in your vehicle. The daily fee for a water & electric site is $20, but there is also a daily fee of $5 per adult and, if you bring more rolling stock than a trailer and tow vehicle, there's a $6 daily fee for each extra vehicle. We enjoyed our stay and will come back some day. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is our favorite Texas State Park! It’s pretty easy to get a lake front spot and just a beautiful setting. Several of the restrooms and showers have been remodeled for more security and privacy. However, the facilities have no AC and they have very poor ventilation. Walking into the individual shower rooms is like walking into a sauna. We were there over the 4th of July when the park was very full. It looked like the restrooms were cleaned daily. You can rent canoes and kayaks for a reasonable price at the camp store. Devil's Watering Hole is a must see! We will go back here every year! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great state park, although I wish they had more professional office staff. The two young people made a mess out of our reservation and basically said it was up to me to kick someone out of our reserved site. Yikes. (These folks weren't rangers, probably just college students in summer jobs.) Other than that, it is a gorgeous setting with lots to do. It includes a camp store, boat rentals, and etc. Many sites have shade trees and are on the water. The place does get busy on the weekends; we were here Tues-Sun and sure like Tues-Thurs best. I liked the place so much that we bought a Texas State Park pass, even though we don't live in TX. We do come through here a lot, so we'll get the use out of it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Absolutely great! Has the It-factor! Great well spaced sites. Wi-Fi has been added and most of the restrooms/showers have been rebuilt. They are well planned and kept clean. Started with a one day stay and extended two more days. Will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Inks Lake is a great campground. We had a blast and this is probably our favorite Texas campground so far. There is tons to do from and the area is just beautiful. We enjoyed kayaking, swimming and fishing in the lake. The only reason I didn't rate it a 10 was that 3 of the bathhouses were under renovation and were unusable making the one in our area of the park extremely busy and crowded on a memorial day weekend. We will definitely stay at Inks Lake again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A fabulous find. Very scenic and quiet in the middle of the week. We stayed Monday - Thursday and couldn't extend as campground was full from reservations. Understand the weekends are a far cry from the serenity we enjoyed. We hiked all the trails, some more scenic than others, but all good exercise. Thought we would ride bikes on trails, but numerous rock outcropping made the trails more suitable for feet than bikes. Rate reflects Texas State Park Pass, otherwise daily entrance fee is $5. Would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We spent the weekend at Inks Lake State Park. Beautiful Park, campsites right on the lake, lots of trees, several nature trails. The sites were paved and near level. Fishing was said to be great, but I did not get a chance to fish. Our camping club FCRV spent the weekend their as guest (no charge) in return for a day of work. The only drawback was the lack of sewer hooks ups (they had water and electricity). They were in the process of replacing the bathrooms. Many of the old ones had been bulldozed and they were awaiting new prefab bathhouses. I don’t know what the new ones will be like, the old ones seemed fine to me. Many trees were close to the sites, requiring careful backing. Pricing: $18.00 per site plus $5.00 per person We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A very nice state park. Some spots are for small trailers only. About half the sites are lake front. The staff is very nice, things are kept clean and well maintained. It can get kinda crowded during the weekends. We camped with friends and had a couple of sites. Each one had a fire pit/BBQ, nice table on slab, good shade trees and was level. We will go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is an excellent park with a friendly and informative staff. They have a number of instructional classes and adventure tours. We took a kayaking instructional class and they the park ranger took us on a kayak adventure to Devil's Hole. It was both fun and informative. There area for swimming in the lake and great roads for biking. Absolutely beautiful flora. This is a family friendly park. There is a nice playground for children and great picnic areas. I highly recommend this park. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Too expensive to visit. Very crowded when we went on a sunday afternoon. Kinda tight driving big home. Constant level lake is nice though.. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great family park on a beautiful lake. Nice hiking areas and lots of wildlife. Deer are around all the time. Camp store on site. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Fairly spacious state park. Some sites level enough, others mild to moderate slopes. Surroundings by the lake are very nice and relaxing. There is an in park store and no lack of people in the park from day users to over night users. Some of the older park has some pretty trick turns but nothing unmangable. Try to get here early. I had one heck of a time backing my 30' TT into our space. This is a very popular park and we got there with only 3 total spaces left. Lots of shade in various places, water access is everywhere. We did a 24 hour canoe rental and canoed to different areas including parks and swimming areas. Overall above average state park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beautiful lake in the Texas Hill country with a 9 hole golf course up the road. You can go swimming in the Devil's Waterhole and jump off the rocks. Park rents paddle boats, kayaks, canoes, etc. Nice playgrounds, hiking trails and plenty of places to ride your bike. Some areas are tight especially for big Rigs. We have a 37' 5er and scraped a few branches getting to our spot. There are only 2 pull throughs and we got one of them, unfortunately we were too tall to pull through. I was able to pull in far enough to setup, but when we left we had to back out. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
