What the day feels like

A compact Hill Country escape — trails by day, stars by night

The daily rhythm at the Power & Water Site is straightforward: arrive and set up at a campsite within the 103‑acre property, access on‑site conveniences (showers, laundry, picnic tables and complimentary Wi‑Fi), spend daylight hours on the miles of hiking trails or on a guided cave tour, and close the day under the clear Hill Country night sky. Cave tours run daily except on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day, and the park provides practical camp features—power without extra charge, a dog run and communal pavilion options—so most of the focus stays on the outdoors.
