Get away from all the mumbo jumbo, and stay in Moss Loop at the southernmost edge of McKinney State Park.

These five sites off of Big Cedar Camping Area have the basics: water, picnic table, 30-amp electric and nearby restrooms. Spend your time nestled in this cozy corner of the park or hop on the Onion Creek hike/bike trail and adventure away!

I camped in campsite 16 over the past weekend. I am in love with this state park. There are so many activities to do including: rock climbing/ bouldering, fishing, swimming, hiking, animal watching, ranger events, and of course spending time with friends. This state park is perfect for people in Austin that just want to get out of the city and enjoy nature close by. The water is beautiful and there is so much cool wildlife to watch. The primitive sites are just off the water and next time I plan to try one of those sites. I also HIGHLY recommend going on any ranger activities. I went on a night hike and we found many cool things such as frogs and scorpions that glow in black light. Happy Camping!

Your guide to camping in Moss Loop Campground

Overview

Biking

At McKinney Falls State Park, there are nearly nine miles of trails that are great for road or mountain bikes. The 2.8-mile Onion Creek trail has a hard surface which is great for road bikes.

Fishing

McKinney Falls State Park has great fishing spots, including ample shoreline access to Onion Creek. Fishing gear is available to rent through the state park!

Hiking

McKinney is a great place for easy to moderate hikes. The trails take you all throughout Mckinney Falls State Park and allow for great views of the waterfalls. Hiking trails range from .5 miles to 3-mile loops. Checking out "Old Baldy" is a must! The bald cypress tree (and the 2012 Austin Tree of the Year), stands over 100 feet high and is over 500 years old.

Climbing

There are great rocks within the Mckinney Falls State Park for bouldering. Keep an eye on the weather, the rocks can be slick after a rainy day.

Swimming

Swimming is permitted in Onion Creek. The creek is prone to flooding after a rainfall, so make sure swimming conditions are safe! There is nothing better than floating in the creek beneath the waterfalls.

Wildlife watching

The opportunity for wildlife spotting in McKinney Falls State park is great—including white-tailed deer, raccoons, armadillos, squirrels and many bird species, including the colorful painted bunting. The flowing waters of Onion and Williamson creeks support majestic bald cypress trees and bright wildflowers like red turk's cap.
