We camped overnight at an RV hookup spot and loved the facilities. Covered picnic table and clean restrooms. The pool is amazing! Crystal clear water, shallow end to play with kids. Wear water shoes though because the algae can get slippery. Great trees shade for picnicking. People bring some pretty elaborate setups: pop-ups, grills, chairs, music. It's a fun place!

Beautiful oasis in the desert. Nice nature trail; we saw quite a bit of wildlife. Adequate lodgings if you're spending a night or two. The pool is the jewel, of course. Crisp, clear water with lots of little fish (and a big catfish). Has a small concession stand.

I always make it a point to stop by and take a dip in Balmorhea springs. My dad took us when we were kids, I took my girls and now we take my 2 year old grandbaby.  It's an Oasis in the middle of a dessert.   I have always loved diving off the high diving board into fresh deep water that's 75° year round.

Went to the natural spring in late August. Not too busy in the afternoon and empty in the morning. It is a very beautiful little spot with diving boards and refreshing cool water. The town is very small but the park is lovely. We stayed in the cabins and they were old but clean and cozy.

Their rules changed, now as soonest they hit 1000 capacity they close the gates. We arrived at 10:45am only to be told to comeback at 3pm. We came back at 3. By the time we got to the pool, we only swam for 30 minutes because the ranger in charge kicked every one out. Apparently there was some thunder very far way, which made swimming dangerous. The sun was shining and the clouds were no where near to us. But the ranger stated that if he hears thunder then everyone has to be out.  If you are local, I guess you would not mind, but if you come from out of tow, I bet your day would be stressful. Stay away from this place in July or August, I guess the best time to come is during school days.  Or be here before 8 am, and pray that there are no clouds in the ski.  I don't think I'll be spending my money here again.
