Booking Meridian State Park in January
Texas state parks open reservations exactly 5 months in advance at 8 a.m. Central — so for a January trip, the booking window opens in August. 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 January
Cool, quiet days — among the easiest months to book, and excellent for hiking and stargazing.
