Ashley here from The Dyrt! It was great to add this property that offers a glamping experience! "The unique and cozy atmosphere of a yurt can help people relax and disconnect from the stresses of daily life." Let’s help them out and leave some reviews!

Perfect for different types of camping
You have the choice of camping at a tent site, park your RV, to glamp in a yurt or cabin, or even walk out to a more secluded “TentRR” site. Regardless of what choice you make, there’s a community kitchen with small appliances/dishes and the bathhouse with showers, toilets, and vanities. It really is the best of both, especially if you’re trying to camp for several days and would like to stay relatively clean and well fed. We’ve stayed there three years in a row now!

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.

Paradise in the Pedernales
a crown jewel of the Texas Parks system. Hiking, horse riding, swimming, floating. At one with nature. Bird watching.
Jared S.GuidePedernales Falls State Park Campground
Quick getaway if you can book.
Pedernales is a classic Texas state park with a lot to offer and a short distance from Austin. It is often fully booked and your best chance to book a spot is far in advance or create a notification through the Texas State Parks site if a spot opens up. In the warm weather there's lots of swimming to be had, not in the falls themselves which are prone to flash flooding, but in another part of the park. Occasionally the water is home to poisonous algae which makes the water neither kid or dog friendly. Many of the sites have small shelters over their picnic tables.

Peace and beauty
This is one of my favorite Texas state parks. The hiking trails are great, campsites and facilities are well maintained, and the scenery is beautiful.

Blanco State Park Campground
Love Love Love This Park
Blanco State Park is just beautiful. It sits right on the shores of the Blanco River and we had a gorgeous view of the water. The restrooms were in top shape and our site had a covered picnic table. In our trip around Texas, this was one of our favorite state parks. Easy to book online and very inexpensive with our Texas State Parks pass. We were even able to walk into the cute town of Blanco and enjoy some fantastic BBQ at Old 300! Would love to return.

Texas Hill Country Camping
Great Spot
10 acres in the Texas hill country. Located minutes from Burnet and Lampasas. Highly wooded and secluded with great hill country views. If you are up for a relaxing getaway and getting back in touch with mother nature, this is the spot.

Colorado Bend State Park Campground
Tallest waterfall in Texas
Colorado Bend is beautiful and secluded. It is home to Gorman Falls, which is the tallest waterfall in Texas, but even besides that the park is gorgeous with awesome bluffs, river, trails, swimming hole, kayaking, and views. Definitely recommend visiting Colorado Bend for a day trip or camping.

Great little spot for a night
Only there for one short night but it was delightful to sit in the water of lake Travis and watch the stars on a warm texas summer night. I’m guessing it gets crowded during the day but I had enjoyed my evening there.

Beautiful views for a Texas Campground
I honestly forget that I'm in Central Texas when I stay here. Lake Georgetown is beautiful, and the cedar groves are amazing as well. Classic state park Campground style amenities.

Great Texas State Campground
As typical for Texas State Parks, this is well maintained, scenic with good trails. River can be dangerous during rainy season with flash floods but otherwise beautiful views and some great swimming. RV as well as primitive sites.
Sam D.GuideColorado Bend State Park Campground
Lots of fun!
The best thing about this place is the swimming,. It's a great place to cool off during a hot Texas day, with some cool waterfalls to check out as well. I haven't explored them, but I have heard that the caves that are there are supposed to be a pretty sweet too.

True central Texas experience.
This park has always been a favorite central texas spot to go to. Weve camped with scouts, camped as a family and camped with friends. A camping staple for us. Great river, view. Made me aware of how serious flash flooding is here. Respect weather warnings!

Beautiful Campground on the Lake
Nice campsites, clean bathrooms, lake access for swimming/boating/paddling. I didn't get a single mosquito bite while camping here! Lots of shade with plenty of tree covering. Hiking Trail nearby (Goodwater Loop). Cleanest lake I've been to in Texas!
Benjamin R.TravelerPedernales Falls State Park Campground
good short hikes
this is Texas and this place will prove it to you. it can get hot here, the flash flooding is real and the area is well worth a visit. you will see increadible views and great campsites. the hiking and biking is great as well. great for primitive hammock camping.
Adam H.GuidePace Bend Park - Lake Travis
Over 200 primitive campsites
Pace Bend is one of the few reliable parks in Central Texas and near Austin that will always have an available campsite, while all of the other prks require a reservation months in advance. You can even show up late and find a site.
Although, these sites are primitive, so not all of them have picnic tables or grills.
Also, there is great mountain biking trails, cliff jumping and swimming.

Cliffside Camping
We went camping over memorial weekend at Pedernales Falls. We did the primitive camping. This was some of the best TEXAS camping we've done. We found a really nice spot that was on the cliffside and had an incredible view of the hill country. It was isolated enough from other campsites. We saw deer in the morning in the grassy area next to our tent. We also found a path down to the river that was close by.

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!!

Great Hill Country Find
I went for an early morning hike in full swing Texas summer heat. I decided to do the Falls hike following the water and Hackenburg loop. Ended up doing around 3 miles right before 10:30 (started at 9). From there the sun started to beat down and enjoy some time in the water but heads up as of today the water was pretty low. So many wildlife saw some deer, birds (singing the whole time I was there) and some cool lizards!

Excellent for a Private campground
I dont normally stay at private campgrounds as I am on a mission to visit every public campground in the great state of Texas. We needed to stay in Fredericksburge for a family affare and this fit our needs perfectly. plento of room to walk the dogs, level sites and easy access to the area. If I am ever in this area again and need a campsite I will state here.
