Some of us opted to kayak, others did the canoe (which requires more effort since it's much heavier to maneuver around). The scenery was beautiful and the terrain wasn't as difficult as expected. The best part of the trip was kayaking amongst the many cows. We even pulled off to a small dirt island to rest, snack, sunbath and swim. (Watch out for floating cow poop!)

Also, there seems to be fewer long- termers, I guess because of the oil down-turn. This place remains what it is, a nice but inexpensive place to stop by for a few days, and I have rated it as such. You get what you pay for. There was a bonus though, a turkey was roaming around making all sorts of turkey noises. Cool.

Small, quiet, clean and unassuming with decent hookups, good size (gravel) spaces and beautiful oak trees. Very close (maybe 6 miles) to Columbus where there are restaurants and a Walmart.

There is a little traffic noise and occasionally the train will blow its horn while passing through, but overall it's not bad.

The reason why I like coming to this park in particular is because it's spacious enough for me to walk after sitting in the car for a long time and it's not crowded. I like walking down to the Colorado River to look at the beautiful water. Near the river, it's brown sand and if you come in the spring you can see the Texas state flower: bluebonnets! Since they're working on the bridge, you can't access the trails underneath it. But any other time, you can and it takes you to into the town. There aren't any walking trails into the forest, however, if you would like you could walk around the spacious parking lot. It's pretty safe since there isn't a lot of people frequenting this place. The trees are big and old which means that they'll protect you from the sun UV rays. Some of the picnic tables are under these shaded trees which creates a relaxing space. You'll sometimes see some feral cats, but they will not come to you. There's a sign in the park that says do not feed them so don't feel tempted to. Last time I came to the park, I saw a feral cat but it was injured. I deeply felt bad for it and wanted to help, however, it ran from my presence. If you're into sports, they're the large field for soccer and there's even a basketball court. There's plenty of trees for your dog to piss on if they're into pissing onto trees. I'm sure the trees can use the nitrogen. If you ever find yourself needing to use the restroom, there are men and women toilets separately. Although, you might want to bring some Clorox with you since they seem to never clean them. There isn't any sinks in the restrooms. And if you are the skittish type, there is a lot of dead bugs in living bugs in the restrooms. If you are not a litter bug, throughout the park are trash cans. So I know someone is coming to the park to maintain it. Perhaps next time they come they could clean the restrooms since they look like they haven't been cleaned in years! Also, there's plenty of parking.

This park was pretty empty. We only saw a few others walking on the trail. There is one that goes…read moredown to the water near the bridge, which they are currently working on.

At night they monitored the parking lot while the fisherman left for the day and watched to make sure everyone was safe, which I really appreciated. Next year they will be adding some RV sites as well as cabins next to the lake and I will definitely be returning!!

We saw no Park Ranger come through that evening. The next afternoon at 4:30 several families totaling probably 30 adults and 20 kids showed up with a generator, deep freeze, mounted stereo system and several tents, and they overtook the rest of our campground area. The Park Manager told us all he could do was come through at 10 p. m. and enforce the music curfew. We had no recourse on the laughing, talking, and carrying on however. We decided to bail before 9 p.m.. Will never camp overnight there again.

I was on the fence as the pictures made it look nice but was it dated? Too country? I wasn't sure. So...headed to Wimberly, I decided to break up the driving and try this place out. So, now I'm thinking Blisswood is running out of bliss. We arrived at night and let me tell you, it is hard to find at night. When I called the owner about getting inside since the gate was shut, she explained we had to open the gate (manually)...odd for such a large operation. Forget food...it is quite far for food. We wound up eating breakfast for dinner as we did bring breakfast items. The bed seemed comfy as far as sheets were clean but pillows were all soft and old. Not one firm pillow. If you go, bring your own. It did not feel antiquish. It felt garage sale-ish. Everything was very dated and just tired. The curtains really tripped me out. They looked like rags and did not even match. The shower had gross caulking that looked like mold. The cabin had a moldy smell and just looked like it was built of the cheapest possible scraps. The hot tub...see photos. We kept on one side only. It smelt like tons of bleach. The hot tub surroundings were a rickety hazard. The step down into the bedroom...another hazard. I'm sure people have fallen as it blends. Maybe I'm spoiled from my recent Round Top stays but this place needs a serious "redo." I saw the owner's story one day I believe on YouTube and wanted to support her cause. Maybe it's good for the activities. I want to believe that's where it shines. If you really love super rustic, super dated spaces, this may be ideal for you. Also, the kitchen light did not work. Bulb was out. Doesn't someone make sure the cabins are ready? Obviously not or the hot tub would not have looked like that. So, for a romantic getaway, I would keep looking. There is much better out there and even cheaper. I don't get how they charge what they do here.

A great place to explore and get away for a while…read more We came to this ranch as a bit of an escape from the city life and rest our heads. We were going to do the safari tent but the tent got damaged. So we ended up in a little cabin in the woods instead. The cabin itself was simple, but had plenty of modern amenities. A stovetop, microwave, indoor bathroom and shower, hot water, hot tub, electric fireplace, and whirlpool bath. The space was small but intimate, clean and furnished but aged and worn. It's not luxurious living, but it has a ton of luxury items that one would not normally find in a venue like this. We booked some horseback riding and wildlife safari excursions. The horseback riding was fun, slow paced but as I never rode a horse before it was enough to get the feel of things. The wildlife safari was actually quite entertaining as well. You get up close and personal with deer, buffalo, bucks, donkeys, emu, and antelope. They very much know you got food, and watching a pack of stampeding buffalo barrel towards you for food is a very cool experience. The space is large and varied, there's plenty to see and lots you can do. It's a great space to take the family to and live as simple as you would like. The girlfriend dealt with logistics, but every interaction with staff or the owner was professional and friendly. Every part of the booking, modifying, and check in process was easy and everyone we interacted with was very hospitable. This was one of the highlights of our trip, and although our weather was not ideal we did make the best of it. It's a nice place to stay and worth the trek if you just want a respite
