Four equestrian campsites - Agua Adentro, Jackson, Escondido and Javelin pens - each with capacity for 12 people. Agua Adentro is on the two-wheel-drive main park road; the other pens require high-clearance vehicles on rugged unpaved roads. Horses must have documentation of a current Coggins test and riders must bring their own weed-free horse feed. Texas' largest state park; check in at Barton Warnock Visitor Center (east, Terlingua) or Fort Leaton (west, Presidio, (432) 229-3613).
