Booking Lockhart State Park in August
Texas state parks open reservations exactly 5 months in advance at 8 a.m. Central — so for a August trip, the booking window opens in March. 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 August
Still hot and busy at swimming parks; inland trails are quieter. Start hikes at sunrise.
