Booking Colorado Bend State Park in June
Texas state parks open reservations exactly 5 months in advance at 8 a.m. Central — so for a June trip, the booking window opens in January. Popular weekends can disappear within minutes of the window opening. If your dates are already full, set a Camp.land alert and we’ll email you the moment a cancellation opens.

Park Highlights
- ✓Gorman Falls — a 70-foot spring-fed waterfall covered in moss and maidenhair ferns
- ✓Wild cave tours led by park staff (reservation required)
- ✓Colorado River fishing and swimming
- ✓Rugged, uncrowded trails through Hill Country terrain
- ✓Dark skies — excellent stargazing away from city lights
- ✓One of the more remote and wild-feeling parks in the system
Tips
- →The last several miles to the park are unpaved — it's doable in a car but slow going after rain
- →Gorman Falls trail is 1.5 miles one way — moderate difficulty with some scrambling near the falls
- →Do NOT touch the falls or walk on the travertine formations — they're incredibly fragile and still growing
- →Wild cave tours fill up fast — book them when you book your campsite
- →Cell service is nonexistent at the park — download maps and info before you leave pavement
- →Bring all supplies — the nearest town with a real grocery store is about 45 minutes away
