Editorial Review for Enchanted Rock State Natural Area – by ReserveAmerica

In Short
Early native Americans in the area believed the rock to be haunted. Enchanted Rock is one of the largest batholiths (underground rock formation uncovered by erosion) in the United States. The four major plant communities of Enchanted Rock are open oak woodland, mesquite grassland, floodplain, and granite rock community. Facilities include restrooms with showers, walk-in water sites with tent pads, picnic tables and fire rings.

User Reviews for Enchanted Rock State Natural Area

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Hey captain_bill, you're getting warmer with your Ladybird park suggestion, since it has MOST of what you need. But I'm guessing the only 5 star campground for you would be your front yard, after all there's no full size refrigerator or craftmatic adjustable bed in the rv right?

Pros: No people sitting in lawnchairs watching cable tv in front of their Rvs

Cons: not dog friendly

4 Star Rating: Recommended

I wouldn't rate ER in the top 10 for camping. If I'm going to camp in central TX, you will find me at the Guadalupe River for daytime activities. What they dont tell you about ER is that it is great for spelunking the fissures throughout the rock. It is dangerous, that's why they dont tell you about it. Climb to to top and look for the portals on the back side. Once inside there are arrows to lead you out. there are 5 or more portals that connect. You need 2 flashlights per person, (one for backup) and good shoes for slippery surfaces. Take it slow, light a candle, and tell stories. Enjoy!

Pros: caves, Fredricksburg

Cons: Out there
