Took my family here last week and had a pretty good time.

Falls we're beautiful and the surrounding area was as well. We saw some very pretty birds, some fish (sun fish, bass, gar), lots of bugs (my kids like to check them out), frogs and even some snakes (one was a little too close for comfort as we were walking around the lower falls).

We were in campsite 82. One of the reasons for a 4 star review vs 5 was the campsite. They're wasn't a pole for lantern/trash bag. So we had to use a tree and of course squirrels got to it while we were away. Campsites also are smaller compared to other state parks I've been to. They are fairly private though. Site 82 didn't have a lot of shade.

Another downside of this park (but kind of also an upside) is it's proximity to Austin. It's darn near in the city. Good because you have great cell service if you want it and if you've forgotten something you can probably get to a store in like 10 minutes. The bad side of this is you can tell you're in the city. Construction noises, trucks backing up, helicopters literally all day and even into the night. If you're trying to "get away" this park probably isn't the one.

We tried our hand at fishing, but wasn't able to hook up to anything. Doing it with a 6 and 8 year old didn't help though. Very little patience from the littles.

Overall, we had a pretty good time at the park and would go again, but it won't be at the top of our list of we're trying to "get back to nature".
