I camped here 7/30/21.

Another great (and free) place to camp along the Katy. Open grass, some shade trees, two pavilions with electrical power and shelter in a storm, and decent restrooms.

As a bonus, the pool was open! So for $3 you can get a cold shower and a dip in the pool. Live large and buy a Dr. Pepper and a bag of Fritos from the concession stand!

There are streetlights, they didn't bother me, but you might want to evaluate your tent location accordingly. Also, the park is not obvious from the trail, turn on the Hall St, then Centre St and you'll see it.

One in my group hung his hammock from posts in the pavilion. Good bar and grill in the town. Good food. Camping in the park is $10 if someone comes by to collect, which is rare.
