LBJ State Park is seeking Park Hosts, and we have spots available RIGHT NOW!

A Park Host is a person or couple who helps out around the state park in exchange for a free RV site. The 24 hours of service per week can also be split between a Park Host couple. This opportunity is perfect for retirees or folks who work from home and enjoy traveling!

Bring in your own skills and experiences, and we can train you for the jobs you pick. We currently have openings for our maintenance and customer service teams.

After the hard work of our staff and many volunteers, all of our trails are open again!

These photos may not look like much, but they represent the many hours of labor that went into clearing mud, cutting branches, clearing debris, shoveling muck, and hauling in new gravel for several weeks after a flash flood swept through our park.

If you look closely, you might see the grey line of mud on the trees that shows how high the flood waters reached. Eventually that line will fade, but the love and support that we received from our community will certainly endure. Thank you to everyone who helped us make this possible!

Although it may not feel like it, the summer season is coming to a close with schools now back to session. And with students back in class, it's time for teachers to begin booking field trips!

To make the booking process easier, we are happy to announce the launch of our new "Field Trips" tab on the LBJ State Park website! This tab gives you all the information you need to know for a school field trip, including grade-specific TEKS alignments, date availability, and how to reserve a tour.

All schools are welcome to book; including public, private, homeschool, and special needs groups. But be sure to act fast! Our living history farm is a very popular site for schools to visit, so we book up quickly.
