Booking Indian Lodge (Davis Mountains State Park) in October
Texas state parks open reservations exactly 5 months in advance at 8 a.m. Central — so for a October trip, the booking window opens in May. 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.
What to Expect in October
Cooler weather and fall color (especially in the Hill Country) bring a second peak season.
