Cleburne State Park campsites book through ReserveAmerica on a five-month window that opens at 8 a.m. Central. The park publishes 64 total sites in Cleburne, a $6 entrance fee, 3 screened shelters at $30, and 3 cabins at $60. Camp.land does not run alerts for Texas parks. This guide covers the window, the site types, and what to do when your date is already sold out.
People come to Cleburne for spring-fed Cedar Hollow Lake, swimming, fishing, non-motorized boating, limestone bluffs, and 5 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. The park is about 2 hours 45 minutes from Austin and about 45 minutes from Fort Worth.
Every site type at Cleburne State Park, cabins included, releases on the same schedule: five months out at 8 a.m. Central on ReserveAmerica. Spring and fall weekends sell out quickly because of DFW proximity, so mark the exact morning five months before your trip rather than browsing a week later. Full-hookup sites are the first to go on popular dates.
What you are choosing between:
Those counts are the published site types on the Cleburne park page. The 64 total is the park's own standalone figure. Loop names and site numbers are not published in the park file, so this guide does not invent them.
Families at Cleburne State Park usually want a screened shelter or cabin if they want shelter and electricity near the restrooms. Those sleep up to 8 and go fastest. RV rigs should target a full-hookup site first. Water-and-electric sites tend to be quieter than the full-hookup loops.
The 3 cabins at Cleburne State Park have no kitchen, no private bathroom, and no linens. The 3 screened shelters have no A/C and no private bathroom. No motorized boats on Cedar Hollow Lake. Bring kayaks and canoes.
Missed the five-month release at Cleburne State Park? Cancellations still happen. Cancelled sites go straight back into ReserveAmerica, where anyone can book them. The realistic window to check is two to four weeks before your date, when early cancellation penalties are still low enough that fence-sitters bail.
Because Cleburne is a Texas state park, there is no Camp.land alert for it. Check ReserveAmerica directly in that two-to-four-week window, and treat Sunday-through-Tuesday nights as easier targets than Fridays. March through November is the busy season. Book three to four months ahead for weekends if you miss the five-month drop.
