Sandi and I visited this park in August 2008 and found it to be nestled around a man-made lake in the midst of a juniper forest. The trees offered little shade, but lots of privacy for each full-hookup RV site.

One park rating website rated Mineral Wells State Park an 8.0 out of 10. Click here for rating and explanation.

Since we camp and drive, we found the old city of Mineral Wells quaint and not so attractive. This was once a spa for people who came to bathe in hot mineral waters that came from wells in the area.

The one attraction that is a must see is Clarke Gardens Botanical Park. This garden has been featured in Texas Highways magazine. It is truly a world-class gardens. Sandi and I have visited many famous gardens in the United Kingdom, and Clarke Gardens rates up there with the best.
