Booking Martin Creek Lake State Park in April
Texas state parks open reservations exactly 5 months in advance at 8 a.m. Central — so for a April trip, the booking window opens in November. 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 April
Peak spring: wildflowers, mild temperatures, and heavy demand. Reserve early.
