    Pace Bend Park - Lake Travis

    One of my favorite spots in Texas

    Pace Bend is one of my most favorite places to camp in Texas.

    Not far from the old (and new!) Backyard (a great place to see live music in the live oak capital of Texas), Pace Bend is a quick drive away. A perfect spot to pitch a bunch of tents, jump off cliffs, swim and barbeque. Maybe 45 minutes from downtown Austin (without traffic).

    I won't lie the cliff diving kinda freaks me out. Be careful is all I'm saying!

    There are several primitive campsites throughout the park with picnic tables, grills and toilets. Additionally there are 20 RV hook-up type sites that offer running water, electricity, restrooms and showers.

    Sulphur Springs Camp

    Beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the Colorado river

    Sulphur Springs camp is a great get away place if you want to put all electronics away but don't have the willpower. There is no cell service or Internet/wifi! All cabins have your basics - beds/ stove/fridge/bathroom/kitchen. All linens and dishes/cookware/linens and bath towels are provided . You are near Barefoot Camp and Colorado Bend State Park so you have plenty of things to keep you busy if you are adventurous. The camp gets its name from the natural sulphur springs at one end of the camp.

    Krause Springs

    Plenty of room for everyone

    Natural springs w/tent & RV camping (NO PETS), fishing, kayaking, lake access, hammock areas and day use picnic w/grills. CASH ONLY FACILITIES!! Family owned. Beautiful Butterfly garden great for yoga, reading or enjoying the mind of a gardener. Several RV w/H20 & electric hookups (reservations required). Tent sites are not #, random locations (30 acres), plentiful and 1st come 1st serve. Toilets/showers near RV sites, portable toilets farther out. Pack it in/out, dumpster at office area. Love this place and grateful the owners share their haven with the public!

    Austin East KOA

    Great Place!

    This KOA is fairly new and they say it’ll be expanding soon. Everything is very well kept up and sparkling clean. It has private showers and bathrooms that are immaculate. The staff was so friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome, even though we were only there for one night to practice our set up and tear down, as we are newbies. Spacious RV sites with bbq grills, FHU, fire pit, picnic table, some shade. Really nice pool, small game room with a big, tree-shaded deck. A nice little general store was perfect for forgotten items.

    Pedernales Falls State Park Campground

    Hill Country Haven

    Another Texas State park that shines! Sites are big and even though pretty close to the other sites still feels very secluded! Picnic table with shelter and Fire Pit with grilling included. Restroom and Showers close enough to every campsite! Firewood and Ice sold on site just pay attention to hours of operation! The trails were well marked and great sites! River was a great way to relax after decent hiking! Lots of wildlife, Deer, birds and Hogs!!

    Black Rock Park

    Not a DARK SKY Friendly Campground

    Pros:

    • Very small park

    • Great view of the lake as trees/shrubs are minimal

    • Clean campsite except for the trash in the fire pit

    • Most sites had 2 sewer hookups.

    • Most sites had a nice distance from neighbor sites.

    • Crushed granite surrounds the site parking pad so no muddy mess after rain

    • Lantern pole, BBQ grill, fire pit with grilling grate and wooden picnic table at each site.

    • Extremely clean restrooms/shower facility.

    • Heated restrooms/shower facility(we camped the week after Christmas).

    • Restroom/shower facility sink had hot water and soap dispenser

    • Mini golf course in the park.

    • 2 bar signal AT&T

    Cons:

    • With reservations made 153 days prior to arriving for our 4-night stay, we encountered confusion by a rude check-in clerk who told us to come back at 3 pm (it was then 230pm and we could clearly see our campsite was vacant). Since the entry lane was down to one lane, we tied up traffic for nearly 20 minutes until the check-in clerk finally realized that we were camping and not checking in for their cabins. I’m not sure why she didn’t see our truck and 28 ft bumper pull trailer.

    •$6 fee to reserve on-line.

    • No mention on the park website there was a burn ban in effect, so no ground fires permitted, not even for cooking.

    • No site privacy due to minimal trees/brush throughout the park.

    • Campsite BBQ grill and fire pit were next to each other, so it would have been difficult to gather around the fire pit.

    • Good condition asphalt site parking pad was uneven side-to-side as we noticed nearly all sites in that condition with all requiring leveling.

    • NOT A DARK SKY FRIENDLY CAMPGROUND! Numerous street lights throughout this camping loop and unfortunately we had one directly across from our site#11 which lit up our site like daylight! Who camps under a street light???

    • Non-stop highway noise, even throughout the night, from Texas 261.

    • Doors on toilet stalls were only 5 feet tall.

    • Lots of large roadway speed bumps.

    • No hiking trails.

    • No park WIFI 

    We used Black Rock as our “jumping off point” for various Hill Country Holiday Light displays, which worked out very well. Kingsland is closer to the park than Burnet where there is a HEB, Ace Hardware, Dairy Queen and local restaurants. Closest Walmart to Black Rock is in Marble Falls, along with a HEB.

    Pace Bend Park - Lake Travis

    Lakeside Camping

    Plenty of camp sites to choose from with fire pits, grills, benches, and close by bathrooms. Very close to Lake Travis where there's always gorgeous sights. Would definitely recommend.

    Live Oak Ridge

    Wonderful COE campground

    We had a 3 night stay here and it was our first experience with a COE campground. It is located on Belton Lake. It is a gated entrance and the gates locked at 11:00pm. Our site was situated at the end of the loop and it was very spacious. It had water/electric with a dump station. It had a picnic table and fire pit. It also has a laundry room near the entrance. There is a playground, restrooms, and showers. There is also a boat dock. It is a very well kept campground. I did not use the bath house, so I cannot give a review on how it looked. The laundry room was spacious and the machines were in working order. It was a perfect campground. My review would have been 5 stars but there is no swimming area.

    Good Lakeside Sites

    You can find sites here that overlook the water, and have some paths down to the shore (some paths are sketchy though). Fire pit with a grill you can lay over or pull off. Charcoal grill. Covered areas for each site, and they are a good place to set up, and there are lots of hooks and nails to hang stuff up.

    Bathrooms seem iffy. One had intermittent water issues, not flushing. Automatic timed lights can be a pain. Especially if natural light is limited.


Guide to Bertram

Bertram, Texas sits at an elevation of 1,316 feet above sea level in the Texas Hill Country, where the summer heat often exceeds 100°F and winter temperatures rarely drop below freezing. The area's limestone terrain creates unique camping conditions with rocky outcroppings and small elevation changes throughout campsites. Water levels at nearby lakes and swimming holes fluctuate seasonally, affecting campground access and recreation options.

What to do

Rock jumping at Pace Bend: Take a plunge from limestone cliffs at Pace Bend Park, where swimming and cliff jumping draw summer visitors. "My favorite part about this campsite is the ability to cliff jump into a lake. I love the water and this campsite was perfect for me," notes Aaron S.

Waterfall swimming: Explore multiple swimming areas with natural rock formations at spring-fed sites. "The mini waterfalls here are really neat along with the rock formations. Good family-friendly camping for sure," explains Michael C. about the swimming areas near Austin.

Winter hiking: Take advantage of cooler temperatures from November through March for comfortable hiking when trails are less crowded. "Stayed here on Monday, December 21 (winter solstice) 2020. There were only four other campsites taken. It was very quiet. We went mountain biking in shorts the first day and a backpack training hike the next," shares Rick about his experience at Pace Bend Park.

Trail exploration: Follow the Good Water Loop around Lake Georgetown for day hikes with water views. "There's no marked public lake access, no swim beach so you just gotta kinda find a spot to get to the water. Great hiking trails," explains Mark S. about Cedar Breaks Park.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Many campgrounds offer secluded spots with natural barriers. "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," says Karen H. about Cedar Breaks Park.

Year-round camping options: The mild central Texas climate allows for camping throughout all seasons. "We stay at Pace Bend every time we go rock climbing in Austin. The campsites are private and there are always sites available. The campsites along the cliffs are beautiful at night," notes Katie B.

Natural swimming holes: Spring-fed swimming areas maintain comfortable temperatures and clear water. "The lake is clean, cool and deep! Tons of primitive camping and most sites have a table and a grill...and PRIVACY!" Jenny R. writes about Pace Bend Park.

Yurt camping options: Several sites around Bertram offer yurt accommodations with varying amenities. "One of my all-time favorites. I happily drive over three hours to camp here... It is CASH ONLY. Also, be careful how far you venture," advises Michelle M. about her yurt camping experience at Krause Springs.

What you should know

Water level fluctuations: Lake levels can drop significantly during drought conditions. "I brought my family of four here for our first solo camping trip with two littles and we loved it! The drought caused the lake to be pretty dried up so our water front view didn't have much water!" explains taylor about Grelle - Lake Travis.

Weekend crowds: Popular swimming areas become extremely crowded during summer weekends. "Decent little park close to Georgetown, TX. Georgetown is full of fun activities and great food. Expect the weekends to be super crowded, especially in the day use area (where the easiest accessible swimming spots are). During the week we had the park to ourselves," warns Mark S.

Wildlife awareness: Campers should prepare for potential wildlife encounters. "Super clean park, had a great time out here. There were lots of deer, really neat to look at. The deer didn't even seem bothered by us," notes Melissa P. about her stay at Grelle - Lake Travis.

Cash-only policies: Several campgrounds in the area don't accept credit cards. "Was planning on tent camping nearby and left a day early and all the hotel room were booked. Tried finding a tent site and no luck. Found this place online and figured I'd give it a shot. First come first serve, pick your spot, fill out the card, put it and 25 bucks in a drop box and good to go," explains Mike L. about his Camp Creek experience.

Tips for camping with families

Choose swim-friendly sites: Look for gradual water entry points for young swimmers. "The water was warm, and it was perfect for new swimmers with floaties and advanced swimmers. There's a place where you can jump off the rocks into the water," recommends Steph C. about McKinney Falls State Park.

Weekday trips preferred: Visit popular swimming spots Monday through Thursday to avoid crowds. "Love Pace Bend! It is only a 40 minute drive from Austin, perfect for a weekend get away. They have big camping sites, great for large groups! The park ranger are awesome! Going in the summer is a must," suggests Ruth P.

Snake precautions: Be aware of potential rattlesnake encounters, especially in rocky areas. "Watch out for RATTLESNAKES. We saw 2," cautions Mark S. about Cedar Breaks Park.

Primitive site planning: When choosing more rustic campgrounds, prepare for limited facilities. "We loved it. It was our first time EVER tent camping on our own, and we really enjoyed our time at Krause Springs. There were tons of camp spots, but it didn't feel crowded at all," shares Rachel W. about her family's experience.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: Many Hill Country campgrounds have uneven terrain. "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," warns Karen H. about Leander-NW Austin KOA.

Low-hanging branches: Watch for tree limbs when navigating campground roads. "My only warning is low hanging trees everywhere. I couldn't imagine trying to navigate the campground in a 5th wheel or class A. You could do some rooftop damage," cautions Brandi W. about her experience in a Class C at Krause Springs.

Distance to amenities: Plan for limited supplies at most campgrounds. "Stayed for a week in December. Traveling with a 40' Class A RV. Getting in and out of the park was smooth for the most part just watch some overhanging limbs. Plenty of space between sites. Easy access to Austin and plenty of local options (groceries, pharmacy, restaurants, etc) just a few minutes from the park," notes Dan H. about his stay near Austin.

Dog-friendly locations: Several campgrounds welcome pets with dedicated facilities. "Nice quiet clean well organized! Amazing dog park!" reports Jason A. about the Leander-NW Austin KOA, where yurt camping near Bertram offers pet-friendly accommodations.
