Balmorhea State Park

This is a beautiful park in the middle of nowhere with a spring fed pool that has diving boards. There are a few turtles and fish in the water. There is a shallow end and a deep end up to 25 ft. The water is so clear! It's so quite too.

Balmorhea State Park is hands-down one of the most magical places in Texas. The water is unbelievably clear — crystal blue, cool, and refreshing — and the views are just breathtaking. Photos truly don’t do it justice. Standing at the edge of that massive spring-fed pool with the mountains and sky reflected on the water feels like stepping into another world. The park is peaceful, well-maintained, and perfect for a relaxing day trip or an unforgettable stop on a West Texas adventure. Swimming in the world’s largest spring-fed pool is something everyone should experience at least once. It’s serene, unique, and absolutely unforgettable. If you’re anywhere near West Texas, this is a must-visit destination. We will definitely be back.

We stayed two nights in our RV. We made reservations months ahead, which is always suggested. Checking in was a breeze. If you arrive after 5, you can still get in. If you arrive after 8pm, the gate will be locked. THIS STATE PARK has the best sites we've seen in ,4 years of full time rving. Nice, flat, paved areas. Most have a wonderful coveted picnic area. There are both pull thrus and back in sites. The CCC helped build the park in the 30s... San Salomen Springs comes thru the park.. The CCC made a huge pool, enclosed it in a big "U Shape"... Yes, there are small fish in the pool, as well as the river that drains off it. The water is crystal clear, and in late November, the temp was about 75°... Not hot, but not cold- a 'warm'... There's a modest store in the check in point, but it's mainly souvenir based... All sites have water and electric- there's a good dump station at one end, with plenty of room to get your rig ready to dump. At 20.00/ night plus 7.00/person, it's very affordable too .. All in all, this park gets. 9.75/10... Nearly perfect.

This is a great place to spend some time. We only stopped for one night on a road trip, but definitely would like to spend more time there! The campsite was level and nicely maintained. Bathrooms were clean and the showers worked well with plenty of hot water. The setting was rural enough to allow a beautiful sky view, which the coyotes in the distance also enjoyed.

Wonderful campground with a huge swimming area fed by the springs. Water was crystal clear and had lots of fish and turtles. It's refreshing at 72 degrees and perfect for a hot summer day. The pool area is over an acre so it's huge! Perfect place to relax and recharge. Staff were friendly and helpful. Already looking forward to my next visit!
