Unfortunately, I felt very isolated and fearful when I heard voices outside my camper at 2 a.m. I've since learned that the place is quite the college hangout and not well patrolled. The attendant at the gate didn't seem to know much about anything. He told me there was no dump station. There was. And there was an initial mix up on site numbers. In all, I think this place could be a great asset to the area with just a bit of TLC. I saw there are kayak rentals. The sunsets were spectacular. I wanted to explore the trails but after the nighttime experience, I questioned safety.

The star of the show here is the cabins, although if we lived within an hour driving distance we…read moremight also periodically visit for the day to swim in the lake. The cabins are one large room with a queen bed and a bunk bed. Apparently there used to be a trundle under the bunk bed but they were removed at some point. The cabins have great working AC - much better than the cabins we have previously stayed in at Inks Lake State Park. There was a record breaking heat wave the weekend we stayed there and the cabin stayed cool. The cabins have a mini fridge (with a tiny freezer section in it), a microwave, and a coffee pot. You will need to supply your own coffee filters and all the bedding, including pillows. The cabins do have a broom and dustpan, as well as a door mat to keep some of the dirt out. There is a table with 4 chairs. The best part of the cabins are the two porches: one screened in and one open. They are LARGE porches, fully covered, and each one has 2 wooden chairs and a small table. Each porch has a ceiling fan, although neither fan spun fast enough to create much airflow. We tried pulling the chain to see if we could get the blades spinning faster without luck. If we were to return in the summer again, I would bring along our own fan. Even in the heat of an August heat wave, it was absolutely glorious to sit out on the porch in the morning with a cup of coffee. The cabins do not have their own bathrooms, but the bathroom nearby is exclusively for the 5 cabins and is cleaned every day. Between the limited use and the frequent cleaning, these were the nicest state park bathrooms we have ever used. Plenty of hot water, and a cold drinking fountain and water bottle filling station outside. The only complaint was that the toilets were INCREDIBLY difficult to flush, to the point where 4 of my 6 kids were physically unable to do it. I walked into the bathroom to find a poop sitting in the toilet multiple times and I have to assume it's because the guest before me was unable to push the button hard enough to get the toilet to flush. The park itself is tiny. There are two main trails; the one around the lake is roughly a mile and the one that leads to the primitive campsites is around 1.5 miles. The trails are pretty rough, with lots of holes, branches, and sandy areas, offering many opportunities for runners to sprain their ankle (which sadly, happened). I would plan on walking (not running) the trails, and even then only if you have strong ankles. The trails are shaded and pretty. I almost ran into a wild hog one morning on the trail out to the primitive campsites. The main attraction of the park is the lake, which is small, but fun for swimmers. There is a swim beach and a floating dock. The sand is soft and you do not need water shoes. The lake is apparently spring fed, but it's been hot enough for long enough with no rain here in Texas that the water was warmer than any spring I've ever felt. Still, on a 110 degree day it sure felt nice to float out there. The water is relatively clear, for a lake. You can fish on the lake and there are kayaks to rent, although they are ridiculously expensive (in my opinion) and have a complicated rental process. Forget the Kayaks... just bring your own inner tubes and float around. If you're looking to camp in the summer without sweating at night and you like to swim, Fort Boggy is a great spot. The cabins are $85 a night plus hotel tax. Calling this a hotel when you have to bring your own linens and there's no bathroom is kind of a stretch, but taxes are taxes I guess. Overall it's a fun weekend in a beautiful cabin by a nice lake. Great family time. I wish all the state parks had cabins this nice!
