Best time to visit Lyndon B. Johnson State Park & Historic Site

Spring (March through May) is the top window, with mild Hill Country temperatures and bluebonnets and other wildflowers blooming along park trails and pastures. Fall (late September through November) offers another comfortable stretch with cooler days, fewer crowds, and clear skies for touring the ranch and living history farm. Summer brings high heat and humidity, so shaded picnic areas and early-morning trail walks work best for RV travelers. Winters are mild but can see occasional cold fronts; most exhibits and trails stay open year round.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department acquired the site in 1966 and the farm opened to the public in 1975. nps.gov/places/000/sauer-beckman-living-history-farm.htm

  • LBJ Ranch Self-Guided Driving Tour Easy
    RV parking available

    The free self-guided driving tour crosses the Pedernales River to the LBJ Ranch district, including the Texas White House area.

    A network of easy nature trails begins near the Exhibit Hall and Visitor Center. The nature trails, including a Hill Country botanical exhibit, wind past wildlife enclosures with bison, white-tailed deer, wild turkey, and longhorn cattle, and from the trailhead one trail crosses the open landscape of seasonal wildflowers. Another trail, closer to the Exhibit Hall, is mostly forested and heads east to cross a non-perennial creek and ends at the living history farm. nps.gov/places/000/lbj-state-park-nature-trail-trailhead.htm

We had a fantastic time camping with this camper. It was perfect for my family of 4 and really we could have had more. We will definitely be renting from Matt again. He was prompt with the setup and pick up and very easy to get ahold of. I highly recommend using them!

This RV was awesome! Joseph and Bekah delivered it and set it up. They even made the bed, provided linens/towels, pots and pans, dishes, a coffee pot…. We are cooks and their knives are better than ours! We will rent this RV again!
