It depends on what you're looking for. For Families: Book a water + electric site — they put you closest to the swim beach and water hookups, ideal for families with kids and gear. For Privacy: The walk-in primitive sites offer the most solitude — you carry in your gear, but you trade neighbors for quiet. For RVs: Reserve the Spanish Oaks electric loop first — it has 50-amp service and fits larger rigs (the Shady Grove loop caps RVs at 25 feet). For Couples: The four-person cabins are the comfortable pick — A/C and heat, a full kitchen, private bathroom with shower, and a fireplace.
Essentials: tent or RV (depending on site type), sleeping bags, cooler with ice, firewood (can't collect wood in most Texas parks), sunscreen, bug spray, water bottles, and headlamps. Sites on the bluff can be windy — great for keeping cool, less great for tent camping
