I'm always on the lookout for new campgrounds nearby my town. It's nice to have a few places to escape to for quick day or weekend trips. I searched on thedyrt.com for campgrounds nearby and noticed a grouping of listings near Lake Travis in an area called Hudson Bend. I decided to check them out.
The first place I stopped was the Lake Travis Inn and RV Park. It turns out that this business was more of a long-term inn and RV park than a short-term campground. There was a building with a row of rooms and some pretty tightly grouped RV spaces.
I honestly wouldn't recommend this place because the RV sites were very tightly grouped together, the grounds looked a little untidy, there did not appear to be many amenities and it did not have easy access to the lake. You can do better. See La Hacienda RV Resort

Private ranch that has opened some of their property for tents and RVs. Seems like less that 20 RV hook-ups, water and electric 30/50 available. Only 3 other campers here. Very quiet and beautiful setting and as close as you can get to Enchanted Rock. Big 👍🏻

One of the places that I stopped was the Armadillo RV Park. I found the location pretty easy. There was a sign near the entrance. However, there was a gate and fence surrounding the park with security. I was not able to actually access the grounds. It appears that the park is a long-term RV park and not a campground. From the outside, I looked over the grounds and it did not appear to offer many amenities. There were a few RVs, a washateria, a restaurant next door and that was about it. I think that there are better options, I would pass on this option for short-term camping.

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.

I visited The Sunsets at Travis RV Park, but discovered that it is not really a RV campground. It is more of a long-term RV park. It seemed that most of the guests were permanent or month to month guests. The park does offer reasonable rates, but there are few amenities. The park is somewhat removed from the lake shore, so if you'd like to visit the lake you'll need to drive to it. There are some trees and open space at the park, but the RV sites are located pretty closely to each other and there are limited opportunities to really explore nature at the park.
I believe that there are better options available. See La Hacienda RV Resort

If you are looking for a short, mid or long-term place to RV camp or cabin camp near Lake Travis on the Hudson Bend penisula this might be your best option.
The facilities are modern, clean and offer many amenities. And the people that I talked to that were staying at the park seemed to be friendly and happy with their choice of facilities.
At the entrance there is an office that is open during typical business hours 9-5. Next to the office there was a small pool and courtyard. And next to the pool was a group meeting room.
The park offered a variety of options from short, mid and long-term stays. One gentleman that I met and talked to said that he was a snowbird and had stayed at the park for the past four years every summer. This appeared to be the norm.
There are RV sites that offer back-in parking and drive-through parking. There are also little multi-color cabins that can be rented. The grounds looked like they were well taken care of. There was some open green space and what appeared to be a fenced dog walking area. Each of the RV sites offered a picnic table and electric and water hookups.
The only downside to this RV park was that it was not located directly on the shore of the lake. To access the lake one must drive down the road and visit the marina. Also, the park is rather large, so some might feel there is a lack of privacy. I wouldn't say that this park has great access to nature, it is more of a modern RV park.
Overall, if you're a mid to long term vacationer you might really enjoy this site. If you're looking for access to nature, you might look elsewhere.

This RV Park is about 20 miles northwest of Austin Texas near Cedar Park. The RV park is located 1/4 mile off the highway and backs onto a scenic view of the surrounding hill country views. The park is currently undoing a major expansion and renovation. During our visit the dust and noise from the construction escalating was Lou’s and very dusty. The current park is full of long term campers looking for low cost housing near Austin TX. The rows are crowded with little to no privacy. With all the construction, I would not recommend for children or families. They have full service hookups for the largest RVs including power, water and sewer at each site. The have a laundry facilities and areas for walking pets at the far end of the camp. I would take a pass an this place until they complete the construction and hopefully provide some better and less crowded sites.

I found this place while I was searching on thedyrt for a place to camp nearby Austin. I dropped by to check it out. To my surprise, this was more of a traditional RV park for long-term stays rather than a RV campground or recreational park.
The RV park is nestled into a North Austin neighborhood about 20-30 minutes from the center of town. The neighborhood has a mix of houses, empty lots and industrial facilities. The park itself is enclosed by a fence and security system.
I spoke with the manager and he said that he does accept stays of a week, but you must call to check on availability. Each parking spot has hookups for water, electric and sewage. The park has wifi, laundry facilities, restroom, mailboxes and security cameras. There are no real recreational amenities or facilities in the park or in the nearby neighborhood.
This is not really a place to camp, but rather to stay for a while.

Nice RV park near Georgetown Texas about 20 north of Austin. They are a mile or so off of I 35 which makes this a easy to access. They have ample space and lots of amenities. Nice choice for long term or just passing through. They can handle large and small rigs. Your are close to Hutto and Georgetown which have a great selection of restaurants and shops. It’s also near the Berry Spring Preserve which has great picnic and an interesting history.
Legend
Super clean, well maintained, organized, and location. All amenities are newish and most lots are fairly large. We were in 33, which is on the lake with a very large yard and shade trees. Lakeshore is rocky here though so need water shoes. One of the best rv parks we have stayed at in 6 months time. Has boat morage and lake is clean and clear.
Scout
Lots of level, grassy, shaded sites.
The front part is for rv hookups, with the back road (will need a higher clearance vehicle) for tent/car camping. Lots of places to access the river. They also have a pool, the springs, showers and a bathroom, as well as cabins.
ScoutOur stay at this RV resort in Fredericksburg was nothing short of amazing! Under new management, the improvements are clear, and the staff is absolutely top-notch– friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure a great experience. This resort is perfect for families, with plenty of space, clean facilities, and a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. One of the highlights was the fantastic on-site restaurant and bar, where we enjoyed delicious meals and drinks. The barrel room was a unique touch, giving us a fun, upscale experience right on the property. The resort is spotless, and it’s clear that a lot of care goes into maintaining the grounds and facilities. Fredericksburg itself offers endless activities, from visiting local wineries to exploring the charming shops downtown. Whether you're looking to relax or find adventure, this RV resort is the ideal place to stay. We can't wait to come back and make more memories!

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!

We stayed here 2/5/21 to 2/8/21. It was the first actual RV park we ever stayed at. We normally go to state parks or national forests or Boondock. Could get really spoiled with full hookups including WIFI! The staff was super friendly, the place was spotless. It was really windy which seems to be normal in Texas! Beautiful pool and hot tub area. Laundry facility very clean. There was a free super bowl party in the community room. Tons of deer. We greatly enjoyed their Disc golf course. Close to Inks Lake State Park where we would have stayed but glad we ended up here!
ScoutWe really like this park. They had a lot of things to do. I really enjoyed fishing from the banks. Most of the sites are leveled dirt sites with full hook ups. The pull through sites made it easy to arrive and depart with ease.
Guide
This RV park is mostly permanent residents but there were a few spots available for over night guests. It recently changed owners and the new owner was very kind and accommodating. He clearly is making improvements to the park as a whole. Laundry and bathrooms on site. WiFi only works near the office (as of now). We were on the top of the hill which had 0 shade and our A/C could barely keep up. Sites we're a bit unlevel and are close to your neighbors. $30 for full hookups is reasonable and it worked for our overnight needs. Would have preferred to stay at one of Travis county parks instead but they were closed due to Covid.
Guide
Stopped in at a last minute decision after seeing main street and wanted to visit area wineries.
43’ tag axle motorhome with 28’ trailer and they had a spot for us without unhooking.
Its nice to watch the planes takeoff and land right next to the RV park.
GuideWe stayed for a week at Big Chief in the Spring and loved every minute. All the wild flowers were out. Folks had booked up all the fishing charters and were catching lots of fish. The campground staff was great. We stayed in one of the cabins. It was fully equipped with everything we needed. We checked out the campsites and they are spaced out well, seemed level and had full hook ups. We used Big Chief as our base camp and enjoyed checking out the hill country.
Guide
We were graciously greeted by a neighbor who shared a few local favorites for biking , water access & historic gems. Shouldn’t the office make that available? We never saw or heard from a staff member for the three nights we stayed. We did speak with office staff to make the reservation who told us we’d be across the street for lake access for paddleboards. It was impractical to walk the boards. We couldn’t find close access. Having a handout to show your guests where to go would have been helpful. We did drive and pay to get into the Pace Bend County Park. The park was well worth the $3/person senior access fee. There are also mountain bike trails, but too warm & humid for us to bike.
The bathrooms & laundry were clean but old & could use a bit of TLC.
The campground is forest service-like, some gravel and dirt. There’s lots of green including the trees. The large grassed area that surrounded our site, #1 could have been better kept. Seeds that looked like cockle burs or goats heads were ubiquitous making it difficult or impossible to walk on the grass, especially for our small dog. We were constantly tending to his feet.
At $60/nt, the most we ever paid for a site, we expected luxury. As Thousand trails members & dry campers, we’re accustomed to primitive conditions. But not at that price.,
Guide
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.
Guide
RV camper here. I rate campgrounds from the viewpoint of wanting a place for a brief family vacation. When we arrived here we made a reservation online (easy) so that was good. But the woman up front had trouble finding our reservation and was unpleasant (happily we had a screenshot). I think she’s one of the owners. It wasn’t a great way to feel welcomed especially with COVID where most parks have contactless check in anyway. Despite the customer service, the stay was otherwise uneventful.
Good: The park has beautiful river access and was very quiet. Anyone in the area can get the same river access by parking to the side of the bridge over the river on 190 and walking down. Landscaping is beautiful and security is good. Almost every site is a pull through.
Bad: The park is almost entirely full of full time residents with everything from FEMA trailers and 60s era camper vans to new Grand Designs. Lots of sites have permanent structures/trailers/patios and there’s bits of trash in high use areas like around the dumpsters and picnic area. The sites are also gravel and not concrete. Sites are close together.
Neutral: There are some cool looking cabins by the dumpsters. We didn’t go in them though, of course.
Summary: This may be a peaceful option for long term residents but I wouldn’t vacation here if I was looking for a weekend getaway. Average rating.

This beautiful RV park in Texas Hill country was booked years in advance for the eclipse. But on our suggestion the very accommodating proprietors opened up a pasture in back to dry camping. The facilities are comfortable and clean. Worked out well.
We towed with an electric vehicle, on the last day they let us move to an empty site with hookups and charge from the 50 amp outlet, which opened up a better route home.
Traveler
Have been here for a month and when we arrived on November 20th we were assigned to site 70. It's in the main park but down in smaller area where there are a few others that are long term residents. Site 69 is really close but that person is gone most of the time. It is a nice place and it does have an exercise room and a rec area for different events the park has throughout the month. Laundry and a gathering place called the watering hole which has a fireplace inside! The only downfall is the traffic on hwy 281! A very busy hwy with hwy 290 going east to Austin, TX. No hiking trails on site. Office has a few items available but no ice or snacks. Closest place would be north to Johnson city or south to Blanco. Austin is about 30 miles east.
TravelerI first chose this RV park because it was further away from Johnson City (I wanted a quiet RV park that wasn’t too close to the busy traffic). I was not disappointed. My girlfriend and myself have stayed here twice and we will be going back in November. The office staff is friendly and very helpful. The sites are gravel/dirt but the are all level. There is a nice size dog park area for an RV park of this size. Me of the things I love is taking my dogs to the park first thing in the morning and watching the cows in the pasture next to the park through the fence.
Guide
We stayed here two nights to enjoy Fredericksburg and some hiking. The welcoming was hands off due to COVID and was taken very seriously. The site as good and required no leveling. Easy access with full hook ups and a pass through. The dog park was good, but basic. Overall the park was quite and well maintained with nice landscaping. The street view needs some help, but don't let it stop you from coming in!
The Enchanted Rock state park was out of openings (over night and day passes) and were not accepting drive ins for hiking, so plan ahead of you want visit. The did offer other attractions that we took up (bat cave, cross mountain ... both short hikes, but interesting). We visited the local fort and of course the town.
Will stay again if passing through and can't get in at the state park! Thanks!

If you are looking for an RV park that is close to the fairgrounds for an event or close to the golf course this is a great location. It is clean with some shade trees available. Like most RV parks it is crammed in and the spots are very close together. It is within the Ladybird Johnson city park which is a plus for activities and a minus because it is very busy. This park is also directly next to the the county airport where small aircraft, private jets as well as helicopters are consistently flying in and out adding to the noise level. If you need to be close to the fair ground for an event this is perfect but if you don’t there are much better, quieter and less crowded RV park options in the area.
GuideThis is a county park in Travis County, Texas. We stayed one week in the middle of March 2019. We decided to stay outside the campground in the dispersed area. Technically, you can camp anywhere in the park; however, we believe there are only a few decent spots for RVs. Camping is limited to 7 days in a 30-day period. We stayed at Mudd Cove Mesquite Point and found a great spot right by the lake. We were able to get level without leveling blocks after some trial and error. There were several spots in that area that would be great for a RV of any size. As of April 1, 2019, they are closing the Tournament Point area to camping, so Mudd Cove Mesquite Point will have some of the only RV spots (IMO). Those spots are off Grisham Trail. The areas down Pace Bend Road were not RV friendly. Most were a tight squeeze, and many did not have turnaround spots. Great areas in there for tent camping, but not RVs. On Grisham Trail, you will find potable water. It is easy to miss and in a horrible spot on a curve and hill. It will be on left if you are coming from the park entrance. The dump station is outside of the park, right before the entrance on the right. Easy in and out when leaving. Since we were in the dispersed area, we relied on our solar for electricity. The area we found was perfect for that. We were able to find a nice open spot with no trees and the weather cooperated, so we had no trouble with electricity. The park was quiet and empty for most of the week. Things did pick up Thursday and over the weekend, but most people were respectful and quieted down after 11pm. We walked the trails a few times, but overall there is not a ton to do here unless you are swimming. The cost for us was $20/night. $15 for the truck and $5 for the travel trailer. Day use fees are $7 a person which is included in the camping costs. The employee working when we arrived was not friendly or helpful at all, but the other employees we encountered were very helpful and nice. Overall, we will likely not be back. The price seemed steep for no hookups and the park just didn’t offer enough for us to want to stay again.
