Why McKinney Is Hard to Book
McKinney Falls State Park is one of Texas's most popular state parks. Reservations open 5 months in advance and popular weekends sell out within minutes. Cancellations happen constantly — people's plans change — but they go fast.
What Makes It Worth the Effort
- ✓Upper and Lower McKinney Falls on Onion Creek
- ✓13 miles from downtown Austin — closest state park to the city
- ✓Swimming and wading in natural limestone pools
Booking Tips
- This park fills up fast because it's so close to Austin — book as early as the window allows
- Onion Creek floods after heavy rains and the falls area will close — check conditions first
Site Types Available
Water Only, Full Hookup, Water + Electric, Walk-in Tent
When to Go
Year-round thanks to Austin's mild winters. Spring and fall weekends book up 3-5 months out. Summer is hot but swimming in the creek makes up for it.
