In Short – Early native Americans in the area believed the rock to be haunted. Enchanted Rock is one of the largest batholiths (underground rock formation uncovered by erosion) in the United States. The four major plant communities of Enchanted Rock are open oak woodland, mesquite grassland, floodplain, and granite rock community. Facilities include restrooms with showers, walk-in water sites with tent pads, picnic tables and fire rings.

Don't Listen to the RV Crowd

Hey captain_bill, you're getting warmer with your Ladybird park suggestion, since it has MOST of what you need. But I'm guessing the only 5 star campground for you would be your front yard, after all there's no full size refrigerator or craftmatic adjustable bed in the rv right?
- Pros: No people sitting in lawnchairs watching cable tv in front of their Rvs
- Cons: not dog friendly

Rock show

I wouldn't rate ER in the top 10 for camping. If I'm going to camp in central TX, you will find me at the Guadalupe River for daytime activities.
What they dont tell you about ER is that it is great for spelunking the fissures throughout the rock. It is dangerous, that's why they dont tell you about it. Climb to to top and look for the portals on the back side. Once inside there are arrows to lead you out. there are 5 or more portals that connect. You need 2 flashlights per person, (one for backup) and good shoes for slippery surfaces. Take it slow, light a candle, and tell stories. Enjoy!
- Pros: caves, Fredricksburg
- Cons: Out there

A great place to spend the day or a week

I've been to Enchanted Rock many times and it is definitely one of my favorite campsites in the country. I've camped all over the country and you just don't
find friendlier people anywhere else in the country. I love this place for all the
reasons that others dislike it!
- Pros: no email, no rv hookups, no cable TV
