Brownville Park

Reviewed By StElmoChatt

We camped here for 5 nights. The camping is beautiful - live oaks everywhere, and very quiet at night. During the day (and especially the weekend) there are plenty of kayakers and visitors around the campground - this was fine with us as we were fossil hunting all day. The bathrooms are efficient and not fancy. The water has a strong sulfur taste, so bring your own if you don't like that. We loved our time here and we'll be back if we're in the area again!

Everyone was so nice and helpful. It was nice to be able to walk through the garden and pick what vegetable we wanted. Great place to visit. Heading back in a couple days for more fruit and vegetables.
