Experience Swimming & Nature at Krause Springs

Krause Springs is absolutely beautiful and well worth the visit! The gardens are stunning, with colorful flowers, huge wind chimes, and peaceful walking paths that make you feel like you’re in a hidden oasis. The swimming area is gorgeous, with clear spring-fed water and plenty of space to relax and enjoy nature. There is also a campground for those wanting to stay overnight, and the restrooms were conveniently located and easy to access. Parking was plentiful, which made our visit stress free. The grounds were well maintained, and the entire property had a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. A few tips: arrive early on weekends if you want to avoid larger crowds, bring water shoes since some areas can be slippery, and don’t forget your camera because there are so many beautiful spots for photos. Overall, this is one of the prettiest natural attractions we’ve visited in Texas. Whether you’re looking to swim, camp, explore the gardens, or simply relax, Krause Springs is definitely worth the trip. We will be back!

10/10 experience! I think maybe this place isn’t real - it is so beautiful and peaceful. We spent lots of time reading on the hammocks in the lovely gardens, listening to wind chimes. We cooled off in the spring and swam behind the water falls into the caves behind. We climbed over GIANT twisting tree roots which look so cool. We loved our tent camping experience, found a nice area away from others on a not busy weekend. Plenty of camp sites to choose from (no reservation needed for the tent camping - and they say they’ve never filled up, so no worries there). The bathrooms nearest to the springs are bare minimum, but the main bath house near the office is a great bathroom with stone walls. The water in the showers is spring water, so it is cold (but that’s ok on a warm day). Bring bug spray and water shoes. Water shoes are a must if visiting the spring, because the rocks are many and slippery - LOTS of falling and slipping happening on those rocks. We would love to visit again!

This hidden little paradise was absolutely worth the trip and every penny of the $11 entrance fee. 🌿💧 The natural spring pool was fresh, crystal clear, and deliciously cool against the Texas heat, the kind of water that instantly resets your nervous system the second you slip in. What made it feel almost enchanted was the way the spring flowed into a fern and moss draped waterfall, spilling gently into another beautiful swimming area below. It looked like something tucked inside a forgotten rainforest painting. The grounds are thoughtfully set up for an entire day of relaxing and exploring. Plenty of picnic tables and benches made it easy to spread out coolers, snacks, towels, and all the supplies for a carefree day outdoors without feeling crowded or chaotic. There’s also ample space for camping and RVing, making it easy to turn a day trip into a full nature escape. The gardens themselves deserve their own standing ovation. Winding through the blooms and greenery felt peaceful and restorative, like strolling through a living postcard. Everywhere you looked there was another quiet corner, another burst of color, another reason to pause for a moment. This place manages to be both refreshing and grounding at the same time. A perfect blend of adventure, tranquility, and old fashioned outdoor joy.

Camped at Krause Springs this past weekend in a camper van in one of the camping spots with electric. Nice and flat area. We did just recently get a bunch of rain so all of the springs were flowing. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Krause Springs and already can’t wait to come back! The grounds areas and restrooms were well maintained and cleaned. The staff members were friendly. The butterfly gardens were so beautiful and a great spot to relax and read my book. We explored much of the property which was very beautiful and we even went swimming in the springs. Highly recommend checking this place out!

I try to make the pilgrimage here every year for my birthday weekend. Even though I've moved out of the area. I will still drive 4 to 5 hours to get here if I possibly can. From the time I check in at the office to the time I leave, there are such Good vibes. The water is wonderful and the people are genuine.
