Mission Tejas State Park
Reservations are accepted for campsites at Mission Tejas State Park, which is particularly useful during peak seasons.

The park features a replica of Mission San Francisco de los Tejas, one of the first Spanish missions in Texas. Visitors can take a guided tour to learn about the history and significance of the mission. Additionally, the park offers several hiking trails, including the Dogwood Trail and the San Francisco de los Tejas Trail, which showcase the park's diverse flora and fauna.
