For Balmorhea State Park: You have to enjoy the water if you are looking to take advantage of this 46 acre park. We stayed in the campground, a private pull through site with electric and water, a picnic table and fire ring. The swimming pool is the main attraction here and, make no mistake, you and your family can easily spend the day at the pool, and picnic in the park area at one of the many shaded tables surrounding the pool.
The pool is not your usual fare but takes up an acre and a half (60,000 square feet), and has a depth that reaches 25-30 feet at the deep end. Entirely spring fed this pool is not chlorinated because 2.5-3M gallons of water cycles through the pool on a daily basis. Crystal clear water allows swimmers to observe the endangered pupfish, the catfish, and even turtles, all of who cycle in and out through the springs. Water temp is a constant 72F-76F. On a hot day, you will find the pool completely refreshing.
A snack bar is on site, run independently, and has a variety of lunch and snack items in addition to basic pool toys like noodles and inner tubes. The cost to access the park is $7/person. Consider bringing in your RV to park for the day in a lot adjacent to the main lot. The campground is the only place for overnight use. Check the park for pool hours as evening vary depending on sunset time. If you want to wear your kids out, pack a picnic lunch and come for the day. If you camp overnight, enjoy the Dark Sky park and the abundant rabbits that come out at dusk. Birding and fishing are available but the main attraction is the pool.

For Balmorhea State Park: This park is a hidden gem. We stopped overnight on a cross country trip. Birding is excellent and the park is very quiet. The sites are asphalt for RVs/trailers but you cannot request back in versus pull through in the online reservation system. A dump station is easily accessible at the park. We will be back for longer than one day to explore the historic grounds and natural springs. Did not use the showers/bathroom facilities so cannot speak to those amenities

For Balmorhea State Park: Beautiful park with full amenities. Spots are close together but each site has a covered picnic table and grill. Wished we could have stayed longer to take advantage of the natural springs.

For Balmorhea State Park: Level sites. Quiet. Sites are close together for a state park. Not maintained well. Need better host.
