It's a long and circuitous drive to the visitor center. Inside the visitor center there's plenty about the Great Society programs, However nothing about the Vietnam War. LBJ apparently liked cars so some classic cars are on display. Free parking and admission. Great NPS staff who do informal and formal talks, as well as staff tegiftshop.

Our family stayed in the Hill Country for Spring Break, and one of our day trips was to learn about LBJ, our 36th President of the United States, by going first to his boyhood home in Johnson City and then going to the LBJ Ranch. It's helpful to start one's trip first at the LBJ National Historical Park Visitor Center in Johnson City, view its exhibits and introductory movie upon request that summarize the President's humble beginnings and rise into politics, first as US Representative and then Senator, Senate Majority Leader, Vice President, and President of the United States. The exhibits and movie tell about his "Great Society" domestic accomplishments on civil rights, health care, and welfare as well as his presidency tainted by race riots and poor public opinion on escalating American involvement in the Vietnam War. We timed our morning visit with the ranger talk at the boyhood home. Afterwards, go to the LBJ Ranch in Stonewall by first going to the LBJ State Park and Historic Site Visitor Center to pick up a free driving permit and self-guided tour map of the ranch run by the National Park Service. Driving around the ranch, one gets to see LBJ's famous Hereford cattle roaming the grounds and baby calf in the show barn. Final stop is the Airport Hanger Visitor Center, where one gets to view the Lockheed Jetstar Air Force One-Half, LBJ's car collection, and grounds of the Texas White House. We timed our afternoon visit with the ranger talk at the Texas White House. Even though LBJ's boyhood home and Texas White House are closed under renovation, we had a great time learning from the ranger talks and were able to walk around surrounding grounds. Virtual tours are also available online and in the Johnson City Visitor Center.

We went on the self-guided ranch driving tour. Download the app when you get there or before you leave to feel like you have a tour guide in the car with you.

Yes at state park. While touring NP portion might be hard to park at some exhibits.
Located at the P E C headquarters on ave F, and the court house on Pecan Street.
we were told not anytime soon.
I believe at the state park location there is campsites. The ranch and house park do not. The state park is not to far of a drive from the national park with the ranch and the texas white house.
The LBJ State & Historic Park is day use only no camping of any type.
Open 7 days a week. The ranch house itself is temporarily closed for some needed repair, but the many exhibits are open.
Pretty much some parts of the house are pretty tight. The aircraft exhibit has a ladder.
They are very strict about the Texas White House, but other areas I saw dogs on leashes.
All day, it is a tour on your own, or you can request a tour on the hour.
No cabins there, we stayed in Fredericksburg. It's not far.

No reservations required. I would recommend doing the guided tour as well and you can just walk up.
