Walnut Springs Primitive Campground

Amenities, shemenities.

Who needs ‘em when you’re surrounded by the great outdoors? Similar to Moss Lake, campers must hike 1-3 miles on rugged terrain to reach Walnut Springs Campground’s ten primitive sites, where neither water nor ash producing fires are a luxury. If you must cook a warm meal, bring your containerized fuel stove and some of those sweet freeze-dried pad thai packets. Outdoor composting toilets are within walking distance, and perhaps best of all, pets are allowed!

Plenty of shady spots to choose from in this area. Unfortunately for us, a boy scout troop moved in at 1 AM! I think this might be a more crowded campground as it is a short hike from the parking lot. Moss Lake may be a better bet for a more secluded night, but it may depend on the day. Ask the rangers before heading out which campground has had more check-ins!

Your guide to camping in Walnut Springs Primitive Campground

Overview

Hiking

Hit up Enchanted Rock State Natural Area to explore eleven miles of winding trails in between climbing sessions. All trails close at sundown, but we bet you can catch the sunset at the Enchanted Rock summit and make it back to your campsite before dark! Extra points if you complete the entire Loop Trail.

Climbing

As a premier climbing destination in Texas, Enchanted Rock State Natural Area has dozens of traditional-style ascents to explore. From the Edge of Night to Stranger Than Fiction, the granite boulders and domes will keep you on your toes for days. Just remember—as a designated State Natural Area, using trees or other plants for anchoring and rappelling is not allowed and punishable by fine.
