    Inks Lake State Park Campground

    Great getaway in Texas Hill Country - May 2018

    Catching up on my reviews…Inks Lake SP is a superb park about 40 minutes from Austin in the Texas Hill Country.  Great lake with a large no wake zone in one area that makes it very family friendly and paddler friendly.  There are sites away from the NWZ that allow you to ski/tube right from your campsite.  Great choice of flat, easy access spots.  Tent-only spots with only water are available as-well.   Decent hiking and easy biking around the park is available.  The area around Devil's Hole is great for floating about and jumping from the rocks.  Just wish that folks would clean up after themselves better.  Great camp store with lots of products.  Lake was lowered in 2019 to update the docks and boat ramps (very nice now), lake is back to normal seasonal levels.  ILSP is close to Austin, so it stays busy during the season, so reserve well ahead of time.  No Wifi at the campsites, but decent mobile reception (ATT).  30/50 amp and water at most sites.  Fire ring and table on concrete pads at all sites.  Tables are not covered, however.  I've been told that there is Wifi available at the camp store, but I cannot personally verify that.

    Cedar Breaks Park

    Beautiful big sites

    The sites are large which means you aren't right on top of your neighbors. Lots of shade. Each site has its own shelter with picnic table, grill and fire pit. Electric and water but no sewer. The sites along the outside of the loop have lake views and are level. The sites along the inside are scary unlevel! Some of the big rigs were backed in and jacked up 4 feet or so in front. Saw a lady break her ankle stepping out of her camper. Be prepared to level your camper! I suggest odd numbers 19-35 and even numbers 36-42 as the most level sites with the best lake views.

    The park has hiking trails, boating and swimming access, but none of these are accessed right at the camp area.

    Restrooms are very basic with no hot water. They were clean but a little creepy for showers. I used the toilets there during the day and my camper shower and toilet at night.

    Jellystone Park™ Austin North

    Dream campground

    Amazing resort. Great monthly rate. They go above and beyond with their amenities providing an indoor play room, full kitchen, business center, etc. Very family friendly resort with plenty of activities planned. Lots of full time families staying here long term which makes for a fun time. The one downside was that we didn’t get the sites that we had put a deposit down for. There seems to be a lot of turnover in the office so when we checked in it wasn’t the same lady who had helped us pick out our sites and reserve them. We travel with my parents and always try to stay next to them but they were unwilling to accommodate that even though they originally told us they would. All in all I do recommend this park for the amazing ambiance and amenities.

    Lockhart State Park Campground

    Lockhart State Park + Family Activities + BBQ

    Lockhart State Park is a small park with simple facilities, but they do have a golf course and some of the best BBQ in Texas nearby.

    The park is located a short distance from the town of Lockhart and about 40 minutes from Austin. The park has all the basic amenities like campsites with water, electricity, picnic tables, grills and fire rings. There are a few short trails to explore. For the family there is a swimming pool and little playground. Perhaps one of the unique features of this park is that there is a 9 hole golf course within the park.

    Some of the facilities feel a bit dated. However, if you're looking for a relaxing time with family friendly activities this park might work for you.

    Before or after your stay at Lockhart State Park be sure to pass through the town of Lockhart (nicknamed the BBQ Capitol of Texas) where you can choose between three of the best barbecue restaurants in Texas - Blacks BBQ, Smitty's BBQ and Kreuzs BBQ.

    Sunset RV Park

    Peace in Hill Country

    I typically rate campgrounds as they fit into 1 of 5 categories. This campground will be rated as a Basecamp — grounds that offer a comfortable home base that you’re happy to return to after a day of exploring the surrounding area. Ratings for this category are based on: Value to cost: 5 Overall grounds: 4 Utility of sites (hookups, layout, accessibility): 4 Local Attraction Proximity: 4 Reservation Process/Ease of Getting a Site: 5 Amenities: 4 Customer Service: 5 Cleanliness: 4

    A really lovely spot in Dripping Springs, Sunset RV Park is a small park in Hill Country outside Austin (this is not the one near Lake Travis). It’s clear that this is a destination spot for snowbirds to the area as most everyone was set-up for a long-term stay and we saw very few folks come and go during our one-week stay. The park is very quiet with close attention paid to COVID precautions (this is the first park we encountered that was 100% contact free check in).

    The park is built somewhat into a hill, so some of the turns are a little tricky and our spot was a bit uneven. The space itself was a very wide asphalt driveway with a picnic table and metal fire ring below a stone wall, perhaps a bit close to our neighbors as I wasn’t totally certain it was definitely ours to use.

    The amenities are pretty basic- clean laundry and bathrooms and a good enough wifi signal to allow us to use the internet easily. There’s also propane available on site. I enjoyed the layout of the grounds and each site was afforded some privacy thanks to the set-up and tiered spaces. The weekly rate of $300 was very reasonable.

    Excellent access to Hamilton Pool (make reservations!), Reimers Ranch and Westcave Discovery Center. Also about 30 minutes to most of Austin including SoCo, McKinney Falls SP and 6th Street.

    Reservations were made by phone with a very friendly woman and, as I mentioned, check in was contactless, so we really didn’t encounter anyone else aside from a friendly wave from folks maintaining the grounds in golf carts. The place is a nice find outside Austin and very close by to family for us, so we’re happy to have found it and will return!

    Summit Vacation Resort

    Texas Camping at its finest

    We loved the quiet and peace of this RV Resort nestled in Texas Hill Country.

    The Park: they have a large pool area with cafe and snacks. The property is large and spaces are spread out through out the park. The big draw is the Guadalupe River, Canyon Lake, and the woods and hills.

    They have hot shoes, bath houses, laundry.

    The sites: Gravel and mostly level, very few sites were unlevel. You’re surrounded by hills so it is nice and quiet. They are full hook up sites. Each site had a fire ring and picnic table. Small deer herds would move through the park each evening. Many of the campers feed them corn and they know the sounds and come running out of the hills.

    The campground is near grocery and hardware stores. Within an hour are several bigger towns with more stores.

    Cellular: T-Mobile was decent but not great. They do have Campground WiFi that worked faster.

    Canyon Lake Military - Randolph AFB

    We love it here. Not for everyone.

    We started with day passes, then graduated to renting out the loft cabins, then tried tent camping, and eventually and recently parked our travel trailer in the reservable RV spaces. All in the same vicinity. Made great memories at each stay.

    Pro’s: Best rate in town for military (active, retired, $ disabled). Water is beautiful. Fishing can be fantastic. Lots of water activities available for rent or bring your own. Pet friendly, Great for families, most people are very respectful and wonderful to talk to. Good food and stores nearby. Lots of wildlife. Quiet. Close to town and short drive from San Antonio.

    Cons: Hard to get ahold of staff to make reservations. Market is extremely expensive and staff isn’t very friendly. Lost and lots of fire ants.

    We recommend it to all of our friends and family and bring them often. We love staying in the loft cabins. Some are pet friendly. We have stayed in the mobile homes on the other side of the lake once but that was not a great experience as our things were stolen off our table and covered patio (on Veterans Day) and they were only left unattended for 15 min or less. The mobile home wasn’t very nice but functional at least.

    Oak Forest RV Park

    BEAUTIFUL and peaceful RV Park

    We’ve had such an amazing time here. There’s multiple dog parks, hammock areas, common areas with fire pits and grills, gardens for the community, and a incredible coffee truck over by the welcome office (closed on Tuesdays). Beautiful and loving community of temporary and long term RVers. 10/10 for Austin

    Pedernales Falls State Park Campground

    Great sites and so much hiking!

    Large, spaced out sites with nicely covered picnic tables, lantern hook, and fire pit. It was nice to not easily see your neighbor. This park has it all with very many miles of trails for good hiking, rugged mountain biking, and has the beautiful falls to explore. You can even swim in parts of the river. This place is a gem and is not very far away from Austin! Two downsides: no cell service in the campground and only one dump station for quite a few RVs.


Guide to Austin

Austin RV parks typically maintain smaller sites compared to rural campgrounds, with concrete pads that range from 20-40 feet in length. Located in central Texas at an elevation around 500 feet, the camping area experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F from May through September. Cell service remains consistent throughout most Austin RV parks, with 4G LTE coverage available at nearly all locations and strong enough signals for remote work needs.

What to do

Walking trails access: Oak Forest RV Park includes community trails along the creek, with hammock areas and multiple common spaces with fire pits. "We've had such an amazing time here. There's multiple dog parks, hammock areas, common areas with fire pits, gardens for the community, and a incredible coffee truck over by the welcome office," notes a camper.

Downtown exploration: Pecan Grove RV Park offers urban camping with easy access to Austin attractions within walking distance. "We really enjoyed this place for the people and the location. We went on bike rides and runs right from the site and we could easily hop on a scooter and check out so many popular Austin spots," one visitor explains. Sites cost $45-50 nightly with limited availability.

Water recreation: River Forest Haven provides tubing options on the Colorado River during summer months. "The tubing is great for people with children who don't necessarily want to go tubing two to four hours... Very short route but water safety should be practiced as it is very deep in some areas," reports a guest who visited for a day trip.

What campers like

Site spacing: The separation between campsites varies significantly among Austin RV parks. "Super cool to get tucked into the woods. Some of the spots are secluded and others aren't," notes a River Forest Haven camper, contrasting with more densely packed urban parks. Many sites provide concrete pads and natural barriers between neighbors.

Urban convenience: Austin Lone Star RV Community receives positive feedback for its proximity to essential services. "This is the third campground we've stayed at, and it's conveniently located just 15 minutes from the city, with grocery stores and other essential shops nearby," shares one family who appreciated the balance of access and comfort.

Pool facilities: Several parks maintain swimming areas for summer heat relief. According to a visitor at Redbud Ranch RV Resort, "Pool with shallow end and lounge chairs in the water. A hot tub that will hold about 30 people. You can literally swim across it. Small splash pad area for the kids." Pool hours typically run from 9am to 9pm during summer months.

What you should know

Train noise: Some parks experience railroad disruptions depending on location. "We visited this campground in early December and stayed overnight. We found the campground overpriced ($99), and practically empty except for what seemed like temporary area workers. But what made this place a 'no-go' for us were the constant nonstop trains running throughout the night!" warns a visitor to Redbud Ranch.

Temperature considerations: The Austin area experiences intense summer heat from June through September. "Very hot, early July. Have noticed empty sites at all parks. Gas prices must be effecting travel?" observed a camper at Oak Forest RV Park. During summer, camping activities are best scheduled before 11am or after 6pm.

Security features: La Hacienda RV Resort and other parks implement safety measures for urban locations. "Very clean campground, very secure, codes used to enter gate, pool, showers/restrooms & 24hour laundry room," confirms one visitor. Most parks require deposits ranging from $25-50 for gate access cards or codes.

Tips for camping with families

Bathroom facilities: Look for parks with private bathroom options. "Five star private bathrooms, pool areas are clean and well kept. Grounds are manicured with fire pit common areas," reports a camper at Oak Forest RV Park. Family restrooms are available at select parks, making them suitable for those with small children.

Entertainment options: Choose parks with kid-friendly amenities. "There's a nice laundry room, children's playground and pool for guests to enjoy as well," notes a visitor to Austin Lone Star RV Community. Many parks have implemented game rooms, volleyball courts, and scheduled weekend activities for children.

Cabin alternatives: For families without RVs, several parks offer rental units. "Family of 5, Grandma, Mom & 3 teenage boys, well organized, had after hours packet ready that was a pleasure to have. Clear and with tag for the truck. Pull through sites, nice trees and a wonderful first time at location," shares a family who stayed in the cabins at Austin Lone Star RV Community.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: When booking, request sites away from main roads for noise reduction. "If your site is close to the interstate, you may hear some road noise, but it didn't bother us," mentions a camper at Austin Lone Star RV Community. Corner sites typically offer more space and fewer neighbors.

Reservations timeline: Book 2-3 months in advance for weekend stays during peak spring and fall seasons. "This RV park is in an ideal location for exploring Austin. There are full-timers but also plenty of travelers passing through," notes a La Hacienda RV Resort visitor. Most parks require full payment at booking with 48-hour cancellation policies.

Budget planning: Expect rate fluctuations based on season and events. "A little pricey and the prices are subject to change depending on capacity (don't really care for that)," comments a Redbud Ranch visitor. Weekday stays typically cost 15-20% less than weekends, with monthly rates offering the best value at approximately $800-1000 per month.
