A camping cabin at Inks Lake State Park was our ‘home base’ while checking out some nearby attractions, mainly Lornhorn Cavern State Park. What a cool place that is! So many tours of the caverns and great things to see. We enjoyed our lakeside cabin at Inks Lake. Things were somewhat rustic but well maintained plus the draw of a cabin for us, airconditioning! We spend a day kayaking (rentals available) and another day checking out Devil’s Waterhole and some waterfalls. Great experience :)

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!
Traveler
Such a nice place to park and relax! Ten dog park is huge, grounds immaculate, pool, hot tub, laundry and showers are incredibly well kept and best of all the staff!! They are hands on helpful, super social and always driving around the grounds to see how your morning is or if you could use a hand. They know your name and genuinely take an interest!
Such a refreshing pleasure!!! I would highly recommend a stay here! You’ll love it!! And it’s easy to drive in and out!
Scout
RV Park is very well kept. Nice neighbors too. Heated pool/hot tub look nice. Laundry facilities on-site are credit card operated. Landscape company works here once weekly. High volume of guests really require more than once per week trash removal...piles of trash near dumpster overflowing weekly along with recycles. We're here, unfortunately, for 3+ months due to medical necessity. Nearby bike trail has been our saving grace since we'd prefer a state or national park setting. We experienced the Austin winter storm 2021 and although we were without water hookup for 1 week we never lost power.
LegendWhat a fun place to stay! Cheryl at the front desk made you feel welcomed and check in was a breeze! We were staying with 2 other couples, who shared a"buddy site" which was pretty cool!(never seen that before) We had a great time! It was a bit on the cool and rainy side but fun none the less. Sites were full hook up and pretty level. We had trees near us but there are many that did not. It held various sizes of rigs so make sure you indicate that when you call to reserve your site. They will do their best to accommodate! Oh, they also have cabins if you need extra room for guests to stay in if you don't have room in your rig! There is a lake for swimming, fishing and boating of all kinds. They have a pool with hot tub. Frisbee golf. Large dog area and many more amenities. Check them out on their website! Have Fun, we sure did!(Only draw back was they had no fire pits and if you brought your own, it has to raised off the ground. We have one that folds up and sits on the ground. Most places allowed this but they did not.)
ScoutFirst primitive camping trip and was lucky to get the last camping spot available for a holiday weekend. The area of the state park where the primitive camping is is very quiet, about 2 miles walk away from the RV and cabin camping. So not much traffic near our spot. The site was cleared well and had several areas to choose from to put up our 2 person tent. We were near a compost restroom, which I always prefer if available. It was amazingly clean and well maintained (except for the trash can, which didn’t have a lid— critters enjoyed some midnight snacks. We ended up storing it inside the restroom itself on night two to save us the noise).
Ranger
A little pricey and the prices are subject to change depending on capacity(don't really care for that). Some reviews dock them for the train noises, but we weren't bothered by it at all, especially with AC running.
📋 Site#305:
🔙 Back In🅿 Site Pad: level, concrete, long enough, but a little narrow. Parking spot for tow vehicle next to it💧 Water- good pressure, high enough for filter and everything to hang down⚡ Max amp: 50- had a couple issues with Over Current at first, but it seemed to stay on after that. The Power Watch Dog tripped the power and did its thing.💩 Sewer connection was in good shape. It was a little closer to the front of the site, so I used 2 hoses📶 Wifi- available but I didn’t use it📺I picked up multiple channels just with the antenna. Even GRIT. I escaped the heat in the hottest part of the day.🔥 Fire Ring w/Grate Standing Grill Picnic Table: hexagon shaped. Looked like wood, but was the plastic composite material. Heavy. Two of the overflow parking spaces were on the side of the site, so it was handy. This site is on a corner, so it was a little bigger. There’s a little tree planted there that will give shade in a few years
👎🏻 Cons:
The site was a little narrow and there’s no widening at the entrance on the back-in sites. You have to bring your good backing skills.
📝 Park Notes:
🚻 Restrooms- very clean and spacious. There are a couple ADA restrooms with showers that can be accessed by wheel chair and multiple household sized showers. Each one is male/female so it would be good for families with children.🚿 Showers had good pressure and multi-function shower heads. Glass doors. Very clean.🧺 Laundry facility had 6 sets of washer/dryers. Credit card or app. No cash.🐕 Off-leash dog park was big and had a separate section for smaller dogs. There was a nice dog wash station near the restrooms. No washing of dogs or rigs at the individual sites.🛒 There was a small store in the main office with souvenir items, a few RV necessities and ice cream.🚶🏻♀️ A trail runs along the length of the park along the creek. No getting in the creek though.🏚 Cabins with and without lofts. All have screened in back porches🤿 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.Covered pavilion area with large BBQ pits.🔥 Large fire pit with chairs around it🤾♀️ Playground equipment, 2 volleyball courts, horseshoes, tether ball, hammocks, tables, porch swing(hanging from a tree), ping pong table🪑 2 group areas, 1 was large and had a view of the pool. Residents can use it at anytime unless someone has reserved it for a private event. They have coffee and condiments there from 8-10am. They had Donuts for Dad for Father’s Day(but open for anyone).🍩☕🦌 Wildlife: Various birds, squirrels🗑 Trash pick up at the sites in the morning Some buddy sites available on the ends of the rows Golf carts are available for rent or you can bring your own Restrooms/Showers/Dog Wash/Dog park are on one end of the park and the Pool/Volleyball/Playground are on the other end by the Office/Store/Event rooms. A golf cart or bike would be handy.🌳 No shade trees on the RV park yet, but young ones are planted💲 Prices fluctuate depending on the demand for spaces📅 There are events in the park on weekends👩🏻💼 Staff was very friendly and helpful. Always smiling.
Everything you need is very close. Walmart, Home Depot, Salt Lick BBQ, Dell Diamond, Kalahari Resorts(Indoor water park), restaurants, dancehalls…it’s almost in the City, but doesn’t feel like it. We have had some fun Munzee events in Hutto, so there’s lots around if you enjoy scavenger hunts on your phone.

I'm always on the lookout for new campgrounds nearby my town. It's nice to have a few places to escape to for a quick day or weekend trip. I searched on thedyrt.com for campgrounds nearby and noticed a group of listings near Lake Travis in an area called Hudson Bend. I decided to check them out.
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.

Living Waters on Lake Travis is a lakeside venue for romantic getaways, yoga retreats, weddings, songwriting retreats, family reunions, work retreats and glamping (glamorous camping). You can rent one structure for a personal getaway or rent them all for a group event.
I attended a special event at this venue. There are various whimsical houses, cabins, yurts and tents in which to stay. There is an open lawn for group gatherings, a covered gazebo for outdoor yoga and a boathouse for lakeside activities. In addition there are amenities such as hammocks, lawn chairs, porches and tents in which to relax. The venue offers a variety of personal services such as massage, yoga, a private chef and watercraft rental.
Whether you would like to be active or sedentary, Living Waters on Lake Travis might meet your needs.

Visited with many friends here. BIG campground! I like how you have easy access to the lake from many of the camp sites. There’s also a boat ramp near the camp store with rentals available. The showerhouses were VERY nice! Modern, well maintained and HEATED! Yeah! There were a few showers that needed some adjustments, cold water only. Nice group picnic area near the cabins and the playground with food truck (wasn’t open when we visited). The Rangers had an interesting Cowboy Coffee demonstration there. The sites were separated into several loops, most convenient to the several different showerhouses. Some of the sites were more secluded then others but all were good size with picnic table and room for tents and possibly hammocks. Near the front gate/Ranger office there is an amphitheater for demonstrations/presentations and near the camp store there was a nice, covered picnic pavilion by reservation. Burnet, TX and Longhorn Cavern State Park are nearby.
Traveler
This is a great get away from the city campground. It’s proximity to Fort Hood makes it convenient for a relaxing weekend with our soldier kids our grandkids. It’s a very clean campground with kayaks for rent. I have also enjoyed fishing. We stayed in our trailer while our kids and grandkids used one of the cabins.

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.

This state park is a little outside of Austin near the airport. The park stays busy and it’s easy to see why– it’s really nice with waterfalls you can check out in the park and it isn’t far from the airport. We had a great stay here and will definitely check it out again if in the area. Although– watch the branches if you are in a bigger rig– we watched a guy hit one and mess up his roof. Also, if you will be camping in Texas State Parks a bit be sure to get the annual Texas State Parks pass– it will end up saving you a lot of money! Also, we went to a nearby market to buy what we thought was salsa(see pictures)– it definitely wasn’t and it was sooo spicy!!
GuideThis state park has it all. Tent, cabin, rv camping, kayaking, fishing, and swimming. The cabins are great. This state park has some if the nicest restroom/showers and everything is always clean.
GuideThis is a beautiful park with tons of activities and things to do. People are extremely friendly, sites were well maintained though site number 82 was a little narrow.
Park is close to another state park-Longhorn Cavern, which is also a great place to visit.
Tons of well-maintained, hiking trails, two lighted fishing docks, nice wide, boat ramp, an abundance of wildlife, the list goes on. Great place for families, or couples looking for a quick getaway. The nearby town of Burnet is home to a great Air Force Museum, and has some great restaurants as well.

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.
RangerInks Lake state park is a beautiful picturesque park with amazing fews and some of the best campsites in the area. The sites are well spaced with vegetation between most. There is developed tent pads and tables on slabs at each site. Ours also had water. We were lucky enough to get a site right at the waters edge with a nice personal small beach with clean waters all the way to the shore. The bath houses were well maintained and they have firewood vending machines at several stations throughout the campgrounds. They also have small concrete cabins to rent. The area around the devils watering hole is beautiful with high cliffs and a beautiful calm lake below. Several people were jumping off cliffs and scuba diving in the area. It is a no wake zone for any boaters. The trails in the area also provide more amazing views. The staff in the store were very polite and helpful. They have canoe rentals but, we were unable to do so due to covid. Overall highly recommended we will be visiting more in the future.
Scout
It's a nice place but overpriced and the personell are not that friendly. They a also have cabins to rent, canoes and free showers.
GuideI’ve stayed here lots of times in tent sites, RV sites, and the cabins. I like them all and especially love the hikes and swimming.
Scout
Very clean bathrooms. It has tents, small cabins, glamping, pull through rv and hybrid tent/rv spots. In all approximately 20 sites. Located just 2 miles from Perdnalles state park.
LegendKayaking, hiking, swimming, fishing, bouldering, cliff jumping, cabins, caving nearby, this park has it all. This is a destination park. I've camped here a couple times and come out for day trips numerous other times. Not as crowded as Enchanted Rock or Garner, but just as good!
RangerIf you are looking for a campground to stay where you can enjoy some time in the water, then Inks Lake is perfect. Watch the video I posted and it will give you an idea of the activities this park has to offer. This is a great park to visit during the summer months because of all the water activities available at the lake.
They have kayaks and canoes for rent(except during COVID), and there is also cliff jumping at Devils Waterhole. Of course, if you don’t want to jump you can always float in a tube and just watch other people do belly flops.
There are SOOO many campsites available. From tent sites to RV sites and even some lakefront cabins you can rent. This campground has a lot of sites that back up to the lake. But even if you don’t get one of those sites, all the sites have easy access to the lake.
We stayed at site number 42. The campsites on this loop are pretty well spaced, but there aren’t many trees separating the sites so you can see everything your neighbor is doing. So, not the most private of sites. I’m not sure about the privacy of other loops, but the lack of barriers didn’t bother us too much. This loop worked well for us because it is within walking distance of the bathrooms, a playground as well as the park store where you go for rentals. They also have a fishing pier on the backside of the rental shop.***BTW, the bathrooms were recently renovated so they are super nice and clean.
And as an added bonus...you get 2 state parks in one. What I mean is that Longhorn Cavern State Park is also nearby. There’s no camping there, but they have guided tours that teach you all about how the caves were formed by the river and constructed by the CCC. Since we are a homeschooling family, we appreciate any chance to get hands-on learning during our camping trips. There is no park entrance fee, but the guided tour is$18 for 12& up and$10 for kids.
We had a great time at this park, and we would probably put in our top 10 in Texas simply because we like all the lake activities.
GuideEverything is so so clean. The staff is so nice. 1 mile from park and ride metro train to downtown! Lovely little cabins but they are close together-which is fine for me but if you want a lot of space idk. It’s standard for KOA I think?
ScoutI made the drive out after a UT game with three 17 year old boys. Only the bunkhouse was available, a funky wooden cabin with two bunk beds and a bathroom with a view of the lake. The guys tossed a football, hung out by the lake and forgot that there was no television in our cabin. Actually the one thing we noticed most about the bunkhouse was how comfy the beds were!! The bedspread looked like a sleeping bag but was the perfect weight and comfort. And, the mattress was just right—all of us talked about the great night’s sleep we had. The photos or even our first impression of the beds did not do them justice—they were more comfortable than a four star hotel!! You will need to bring extra snacks or food to throw on the grill. Or, you can drive to get something off the main road—about 20 minutes away.
ScoutLots 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.
TravelerThis place is quiet and out of the way. Down in the canyon there is no cell service so you can break away from the modern world. Nestled right on the river, with a natural Sulphur Spring. A spring fed swimming pool cleaned weekly and cabins with all the amenities.
Ranger
If your friends and family don't like camping, tell 'em to think again! Similar to other Jellystone Resorts around the country. Not a great place for peace & quiet in nature but a decent value with so much to do. We stayed in cabins, very clean and modern.
