Palmetto State Park — Texas Parks & Wildlife Department

Palmetto State Park

August 2, 2013 - The Park will be closed sometime this month in order to repair roads. The Texas Dept. of Transportation will be conducting the repairs and has not given an exact date of when they will begin, therefore the park is not currently accepting on-line reservations for the month of August. You must contact the park directly, in order to make an overnight reservation for August. The Park is currently open for day use visitors. We apologize for any inconvenience and will add more information as soon as it is available.
