Turn Key

Hi Daniel,

Would like to welcome you to Wild Texas. Hope you can find what you want here. Can usually find some one here that can answer most any question.

Not real familiar with Hill Country SNA so I can't be much help. I have been to Inks and will be returning in April. I like that park but can't really see it giving you what your looking for. There is a fair bit of hiking but, as you said, solitude would be at a premium particularly on the weekends. Park does "thin out" a good bit during the week.

I'm very familiar with Cleburne SP as we live only about 35 minutes from there and tend to call it our "home" park. Like Cleburne very much but there is limited opportunity for hiking. What there is is very nice but if that's what your looking for, I don't think you'd be happy very long. Also, except for the youth group camping area, there is no primitive camping at all in this park. A "day trip" to hike at Cleburne would probably fit well.

Might I suggest Pedernales Falls State Park near Johnson City, in the Hill Country. Have been there and I believe it may fit what your looking for. Park is set well back from any city lights. It also has a seperate "primitive" camping area that you have to hike into. Have hiked back there myself and I could see where you could find yourself completly alone back there. Hiking trails are pretty extensive and should keep you busy for a few days at least. Best of all, your in the Texas Hill Country! What else could you want :cool:! Here's a site reference if you want to take a look:

Pedernales Falls SP

You can access a facility map in PDF format from this site. Give you a good idea of what your looking at.

Hope this info is a help and you have a great trip! If you have any other questions, feel free to post and I'll see what I can do.

Again, welcome to Wild Texas and happy camping!
