| Bait and Switch
Bait and Switch. I paid $91 for the first night. They wanted to charge me $51 for the first night and $41 for subsequent nights. Their website says $20/night. I call this “Bait and Switch”. There is a $21 per day extra for entrance fees for a family of three.($7 per person). That would be $51 for the first night, including $20 campsite fee and $10 reservation fee. To resolve the issue, I bought the $70 Texas State Park Pass. With this pass, they waive the $21 per day entrance fee and give 50%, or $10 off the first night. In the end, it costs $30 per night for five nights. The park itself is great, but I am livid about their website not fully disclosing all fees up front. For example, the website displays a $7 entrance fee, but one assumes it is waived for campers. The fee is PER PERSON, so a family of five would pay up to $35 PER DAY just in entrance fees.

Brazos is fantastic. Tons of hiking and biking trails. All sites are very spacious so many things to see I
| Great park!
Fantastic park with huge level sites. 30A is $20/night, 50A is $25/night. Each adult over 12yo also charged a $7 entry fee, which is charged every day (unless you have the TX park pass thing). Tons of excellent trails, tons of alligators, an observatory (only open Saturdays), and a decent nature center. Laundry (pay, two washers/dryers) was busted while we stayed.
