We camped for the first time ever at Huaco Springs from 8/11/06-8/13/06 & it was awesome!!! Being new to the game & not wanting to completely rough it, we opted for the campsite with electric hookups ($30 per night as opposed to $15 per night non-electric sites)...though we only used it for a fan. Some people around us brought actual fridges! We got a site right on the water's edge & set up. It was a bit hot, being August in Texas & all, but the site was well shaded & clean. The water was awesome...not too deep, but nice & cool/luke-warm. Peppered among the campsites were porta-potties for regular needs & the shower house was a medium walk up a pretty steep hill. The shower house is set apart from everyone (I assume for privacy) but I have to admit it was a little creepy to walk there alone. The showers were reasonabley clean & HOT & cost a $1 token (bought from the camp store) for up to a 12 minute shower. Everyone who worked at this site was very nice & super helpful with directions. We tubed the Horseshoe & they even gave us directions there...to give our tubing business to someone else! Amazing!!! Overall, I would definately return to these camp grounds. We had a pleasurable experience & have tons of fond memories to look back on. Thanks Huaco Springs!!!
