CBSP is located in San Saba County, 1/2 hour west of Lampasas near the small town of Bend.  At the Bend stop sign, turn left, and you'll soon cross a cattle guard. The road rapidly turns to gravel, but is well maintained. Follow the road to the right at all turns to avoid a detour to one of the local fishing camps. After entering the park boundary (3.6 miles from Bend), take the first right turn after the park sign (about 50') then follow the road about 1000' to the camping area.

For GPS affectionados; the front gate to the park is:  NAD83 31.06498, -98.50429. The Camp site is located at: NAD83 31.06343, -98.50769!

Coming from the east (Austin) or South, take 580 from Lampasas to the small town of Bend.

From the north, down 281, take 581 at Adamsville going through Lometa to where it intersects 580 and turn right to Bend.  This saves about 35 miles driving distance over going on South to Lampasas.
