For Fort Griffin State Historic Site: Very nice place to spend the night, a weekend or longer. Easy in and out. Very well maintained. Clean bathrooms. Nice playground. Great Texas Fort. There is a lot to see if you are interested in a bit of history too. The State of Texas Longhorn herd is also located here as well. Not on a major thoroughfare but beautiful country and well with the drive.

For Fort Griffin State Historic Site: Not much to add to the excellent previous review. Very nice park!! We stayed in site 26 in our 37' foot motorhome and had more than enough room for our dinghy in front of our coach. Full Hook Up gravel site with a beautiful huge tree next to us, picnic table and grill, and a nature trail across from us. So glad we came this way, it was well worth it!

For Fort Griffin State Historic Site: Absolutely unbelievable. In the middle of nowhere. State still owns the park, but is now run by Texas Historical Society, because it was not a money-maker. Home to the well pampered official state Longhorn herd. The history alone is worth the visit. Robert E. Lee, Tecumseh, most of the big name lawmen and Cynthia Ann Parker had dealings with Ft. Griffin. The lady at the office is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge. I'm actually mad that I grew up 3 hours from this place, and just now stumbled upon it 40+ years later. It is a true Texas gem, tucked away and mostly forgotten. Golf cart loan to ride through fort area.
Camp site is outstanding, with large lots, lots of large shade trees, playground, volleyball court, baseball field, clean well-maintained showers, 2 nature trails, and no license required to fish in stocked pond or river. Seasonal reenactments, Longhorn demonstrations, campfire storytelling. This place is awesome
Virtually no cell service. This park is in the middle of true ranch land. Travel to and from park is on very wide, smooth 75 mph state highway system.

For Fort Griffin State Historic Site: Best state park! Huge sites! Clean! Host was very nice! Only stayed one night but planning to come back and stay longer! Ft. Griffin is a stone throw away and the long horns are magnificent! Well worth the trip between Wichita Falls and Abilene. Great roads too! Don't miss it if you are in the area!
