点评:We camped here in our RV trailer for 2 nights, it had been a few years since we tent camped but the park is pretty much the same. What has changed is the area around the park. Once empty fields are now giant warehouse office complexes and apartment buildings everywhere. There is Tesla factory nearby and the sounds of jets taking off at the airport is pretty much non-stop.
But the trails are nice, we saw a lot of deer out early in the mornings and several hawks and owls in flight. Our campsite was #42 and reasonably level. They only have RV sites with water and power but no sewer hookups although I noticed that all the Park Host sites had sewer.
The water level had only recently increased after a dry autumn, no big waterfalls but enough to say we saw them.
I did find on this trip the park staff a bit lacking. At check in they made no attempt to show us on the map where our site was, I had to ask. The public restroom near our campsite was in disrepair with a broken urinal and was not cleaned until 3 in the afternoon, floor was not mopped. We also never saw a Park Host, they made no attempt to check and clean campsites after other campers departed. The dumpster at the public restrooms in our loop was on the verge of overflowing as it had not been emptied and there weren't that many campers there so I expect it had been this way for a while.
Cell phone signal is good due to location to Austin but as I said, the noise of cars and trucks, jets and the mowers at the golf course next door was a bit much. McKinney Parkway is in horrible condition due to nonstop big truck traffic, mostly dirt and aggregate haulers. The road is very uneven and bumpy, no fun when pulling an RV trailer.
With all the traffic and noise we won't be coming back, there are better state parks in Texas to visit.
翻译:我们开着房车在这里露营了两晚。虽然已经好几年没搭帐篷露营了,但公园本身基本没变。变化最大的是公园周围的区域。曾经的空地现在到处都是巨大的仓库办公楼和公寓楼。附近还有特斯拉工厂,机场的飞机起飞声几乎不间断。
不过,这里的步道很不错,清晨我们看到了很多鹿,还有几只鹰和猫头鹰在空中翱翔。我们的营地是42号,地势比较平坦。营地只提供带水电的房车营位,没有污水排放接口,不过我注意到所有公园管理员的营位都有污水排放接口。
经历了干旱的秋季后,水位最近才有所上升,虽然没有形成大型瀑布,但水量也足够我们看到了。
这次旅行中,我发现公园的工作人员有点不尽人意。办理入住时,他们没有主动在地图上指出我们的营位位置,我不得不自己问。我们营地附近的公共厕所年久失修,小便池都坏了,直到下午三点才有人打扫,而且地板也没拖。我们也没见到公园管理员,他们也没有在其他露营者离开后检查和清理营地。我们营地环线的公共厕所垃圾箱都快溢出来了,因为一直没人清理,而且当时露营的人也不多,所以我估计这种情况已经持续一段时间了。
由于营地靠近奥斯汀,手机信号很好,但正如我之前所说,汽车、卡车、飞机以及隔壁高尔夫球场割草机的噪音实在太大了。麦金尼大道路况极差,因为大型卡车络绎不绝,其中大部分是运土和运骨料的。路面非常不平整,颠簸不平,拖着房车行驶简直是噩梦。
鉴于这里的交通和噪音,我们不会再来了,德克萨斯州还有其他更好的州立公园值得一去。
