The Single Best Place To Camp In Texas That You Have To Check Out This Summer

Camping season is in full swing for us Texans. No matter how hot it is outside, summer just wouldn’t be the same without roughing it under the stars for a few nights. According to Business Insider, Enchanted Rock near Fredericksburg is the best place for camping in the state, and we have to agree. Here’s why you should add it to the top of your bucket list for this summer:

This mystical pink dome provides some of the most breathtaking views in Texas and has been "enchanting" visitors for thousands of years.

There are nearly 11 miles of trails showcasing stunning vistas, ancient hieroglyphics, and magnificent rock formations.

With so many attributes, a few hours isn't nearly enough time to experience everything the rock has to offer. Luckily, the campsites are plentiful and affordable so that you can get the most out of your trip.

Not to mention the plethora of stars you'll see if you stay overnight. No city lights in sight to hinder their beautiful glow.

The walk-in campsites are $18 per night and include picnic tables, an outdoor grill and fire pit, a tent pad, nearby water and restrooms with showers, and a lantern post.

Primitive campsites are $14 and require a 1-3 mile hike, have compost toilets, and no water available.
