  Lake Travis Inn and RV Park

  Lake Travis Inn & RV Park - you can do better

  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

  Armadillo RV Park

  Armadillo RV Park - pass on this option

  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.

  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 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.

  Sunset RV Park

  Sunsets at Travis RV Park -

  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.

  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

  La Hacienda RV Resort & Cottages

  La Hacienda RV Resort and Cottages + Lots of Amenities

  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.

  Big Oaks RV Park

  Under Construction

  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.

  Austin RV Park North

  Austin RV Park North - More an RV Park than a Campground

  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.

  Berry Springs RV Park

  RV Park Close to Austin

  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.

  Lake Waco Marina

  Nice lake views and quiet campsite

  We are a small family with dogs and camp primarily on weekends. The road to the campsite is full of potholes. Once there, the campsite was quiet and comfortable. No hiking nearby but nice views of the lake and a marina full of interesting houseboats; some boats in the morning are loud out on the lake. Not too many obvious long term people, neat campsites. Plenty of people fishing. We stayed in A68 but I think the sites at the end would be better so far as lake views. Bathrooms could be cleaner. Some fire ants but it’s Texas. Saw plenty of wildlife (raccoon, skunks, deer, toad, waterbirds). Short drive to Waco and the Mammoth National Monument (which has RV parking).

  Park Luckys RV

  A lot of road noise

  Just outside of temple this location has great access for visiting the event center. Design for RVs only the quick access on and off of the highway are both a blessing and a curse.

  When I visited the location and spoke to management they did say there was no tent access at this location. They do allow overnight RV stay although most of the people who stay here or more long term residents.

  The grounds themselves feel somewhat compact not a lot of green grass vegetation makes for a dusty campground.

  The staff was very nice and seemed welcoming. Explained amenities which include a small bathroom and shower house and laundry. They do offer mail service for nomads looking to settle for more than a couple days who need to have gear shipping or long term stay residents.

  The negative for me was the road noise. When I was there is was pretty extreme. I added a video to share how much traffic passes pretty much all the time.

  I would suggest this if you need a couple days stay close to Temple but personally wouldn’t recommend long term or could opt for a place a bit more off the main road, there are other options in the area which offer much quieter accommodations.

  Mother Neff State Park Campground

  Quiet, small, secluded

  This park was extremely quiet when I was there. The spring which "never dries up" wad salt dry when I was there, the first time as far as anyone can remember. The bird activity was great, and the trails were well maintained and easy to follow. Very historic site, the first state park in Texas. Campground has level sites with full hook up.

  Sunset Point on Lake LBJ

  Top Notch

  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.

  Sulphur Springs Camp

  Very Clean Fishing Camp

  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.

  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!

  Big Chief RV Resort

  Loved this place!

  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!

  First time visit

  We 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.

  Pace Bend RV Park

  Okay for a stop over

  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.

  Texas Station RV Park 2

  Good Travel Stop

  We stopped here for the night on our way West. The RV park is gated and you need an access code to get in. Stopped at the gate and called to get the code. We were told to take any spot we wanted except for 25 and 26. Found a great spot under a huge covered shelter which was great for shade on this 95 degree day. Sites are gravel with full hookups including cable. Free WiFi too. This place is mostly filled with perms, but there were 5-6 empty sites to pick from. Our site was level and it looked like most were. There is an ice and water vending machine just before the entrance. There is a laundromat that looked very clean. $1.50 to wash. I wouldn’t stay here more than a night, but it’s just fine for a travel stop. Passport America rate is $15. You put payment in a mailbox near the front.

  Mother Neff State Park Campground

  Nice quiet little park in Central Texas

  It’s quite a small park which makes it nice and peaceful. The campsites are spacious, clean and very well maintained. Full hook-ups and very level. Clean bathrooms and facilities. Park staff and hosts were friendly and helpful. There is not a lot to do in the general area, but having a nice quiet getaway is often a welcome experience. Nice and easily traveled hiking trails along with a nice pond area for evening wildlife viewing. There is also an old Indian cave and wash pond. One of Texas’ first and nicest state parks.

  Military Park Fort Hood Belton Lake Outdoor Recreation Area

  A little outdated

  All the pads are concrete and are for the most part level (2x6 under tires or less). Sites are pretty good size and come with a picnic table and overhead cover for it. Deer are everywhere. Has two dump stations on either side of the park. Lots of trees in the Deer Park area. Lots of full timers in the the limited full hook up sites. It’s quiet and pretty clean. Rates are very reasonable. Could use some updating. There is no WiFi and cell service is very limited.

  Big Chief RV Resort

  We LOVE Big Chief

  We 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.

  Hill Country Lakes RV Campground

  Okay but not great - especially since it’s been the highest priced campground we’ve stayed in.

  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.,

  Jetstream RV Resort at Stone Oak

  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.

  Rocky River RV Resort

  Beautiful campground for long term residents

  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.

  Freedom Lives Ranch RV Resort

  Eclipse 2024

  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.

  Blue Hills Ranch - CLOSED

  Good "Safari Park" ... marginal "RV Park" with poor access for RVs.

  Interesting and enjoyable safari park with a good variety of animals. No self-driving through the park as in others we have been to. This one requires tickets, and a ride in a "side-by-side" Gator or similar vehicle with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide.  RV park is simply a gravel parking lot with hookups poorly placed completely at the rear of the site. 50a electric hookup only, so bring an adapter if you need 20a or 30a, and there is no breaker at post. Sewer is behind the power pole, so you need enough sewer hose to reach the rear of the site, and then around the post ... my 15' hose barely made it.  Much or the original park that opened 6-8 months ago is now taken up with equipment, and the individual who checked us in said they were "phasing out" the RV parking ... that is just as well I think.  What we were told is the recommended access route includes a very old looking one-lane 10 ton bridge. We came in further north and my passengers told me later that we crossed a (much nicer looking) 7 ton bridge on that route. Ours is a 7 ton rig, so we took the 10 ton bridge when leaving, and lightly drug the rear of our RV getting onto the bridge.  Sure glad we were not in our former 20 ton rig!!  I believe there is another route from US 84 that would avoid either of these bridges.  We paid $100 per night for this experience,
