For Couples: The two cabins (shelters with A/C and a heater) are the most comfortable option — just note there's no kitchen or private bathroom, and restrooms with showers are nearby.
Essentials: tent or RV (depending on site type), sleeping bags, cooler with ice, firewood (can't collect wood in most Texas parks), sunscreen, bug spray, water bottles, and headlamps. The Sam Houston statue and museum in town are worth a quick side trip
