Welcome to Stephen F. Austin State Park
Experience the nature of Texas’ first colony. Nestled on the banks of the Brazos River, the park provides the opportunity to get up close to nature. Located 30 minutes from the outskirts of Houston, this quiet and peaceful park is a nice escape from busy city life. Come out for the day and enjoy six miles of hiking and biking trails, a picnic area or geocaching. Or spend the night, with a wide variety of campsites, including pull-through 30 amp full hook-up RV sites, and tent campsites. There is also a group campsite for up to 60 people, screened shelters, and a rustic ADA-accessible mini-cabin with a cedar interior. The park also offers a Screened Dining Hall with an outdoor tent camping area and other group facilities.  Primitive fishing is available on the riverbank after a short hike to the Brazos River, with the common catch being catfish. Adjacent to the park is a privately operated 18-hole golf course available to park visitors. Call the Stephen F. Austin Golf Course for more information at (979) 885-2811. The nearby San Felipe de Austin State Historic Site, operated by the Texas Historical Commission, provides park visitors the opportunity to learn more about Stephen F. Austin, the colonial history of Texas, and the Texas Revolution. The park hosts special events throughout the year for school groups and holds an annual Summer Camp for youth ages 8 to 11 years old. Call the park to inquire about the camp schedule and registration.
