I was at hill country sna last year. it had rained a few days before we were there (hiked with my father from NY) so a couple of spots on the trail were muddy but well worth the trip. I don't know your skill levels, but there are over 40 miles of trails there. we did not stay over night but they have at least 2 camping areas there. we were there in april so it was not real hot yet. but remember the name say's it all it is a natural area so there is not much in the way of facilities available. portajohns at parking areas, but not sure about what they have at camping areas. we did about 12 miles of hiking while we were there. the trail we hiked had some pretty good ups and downs on it. wear good footwear as some spots are rocky and some spots had wetland to cross. trails are pretty well marked but do get a copy of the map from the rangers we needed it a couple of times to get back on the trail due to game paths in some areas. we thought it was worth the trip. have fun and take lots of water. you might also want to check out lost maples it was a very nice park to hike only draw back is you could hike it in one day (about 12 miles of trail) or spend two days hiking the two main loops very good sites to see there. flash flooding is a concern though as one of the loops takes you through a canyon with a stream. take plenty of film if you like taking pictures as both parks have good vistas.
