This camping area has more than 400 campsites. This was the view from our camp spot. The views of the Colorado River are pretty terrific :)

Krause Springs is situated in the center of Texas and has the most unique waterfall and swimming hole. Best on a hot day since the spring water can be pretty chilly. The rope swing is an added bonus.
