spacious, comfortable & lovely campsite!
We were seeking a free campsite for us and our dogs when traveling from San Antonio to Austin, Texas and landed here for one night! It was a "self check-in" process and we did not research the price or see a direct sign, so left $5 due to the "entrance fee" - oops! We found out later it was $25 for the overnight camping. Not free, but worth it.
I enjoyed the spaciousness of this campsite. It felt private, although there were large groups of campers all around. We walked down to the Colorado River where the dogs enjoyed swimming. Perfect for paddle boards, kayaking, or picnicking on the small beach.

New guy Jack is great 👍
We've stayed here a few times, very convenient location for us while visiting in the area. It has recently been updated and is very nice now. Looking forward to coming back to just relax.

Krause Springs
Eggy Car
This sounds like an amazing place to escape the Texas heat! The rope swing and swimming holes sound perfect for a fun day trip. It's good to know about the uneven paths though, thanks for the heads up. Makes me think twice about bringing my low-rider, Eggy Car, since it might not handle the terrain. Maybe next time I'll need to borrow a friend's truck for the weekend. Definitely adding Krause Springs to my list!

Great Camping Experience with Dogs Near Austin
My little dog and I just had a memorable camping trip near Austin, TX! This article was really helpful in finding dog-friendly places. We chose a recommended campground and were completely satisfied. The space was spacious, the nature was beautiful, and most importantly, my dog was free to run around. Austin not only has great camping spots but also many other outdoor activities to explore. Will definitely come back here next time!

A Must See & Dog friendly
Bring ur dog to swim!!I've been coming here for many years and I have to say this is one of the best camp places in the area. It's real camping. They offer restrooms with showers, but it's primarily outdoors. I love it here... You can swim, fish, hike, go kayaking, and your camp spot will have a spot for ur tent and an area to build a fire. You have elbow room, not too close to the next family. Plus, u can bring ur dog here. Most of the other parks do not allow ur dog. They offer a pick-up service once you kayak down the river. If you ever need a place for ur party or group to meet, they will close off an area for you. Everyone is nice and accommodating.

Eclectic and amazing!
I came from Denver for a conference in downtown Austin and I found a park that I thought I could camp that and that did not work out. I got on the Dyrt and contacted several campgrounds before I found this one the others were full and I am so grateful that they were because I ended up finding this GEM!! The campground is difficult to locate because there’s only one gate that has the name of it on there so keep that in mind. You will find it. When you go in the gate, there are old campers that have been renovated and the greenery that spreads throughout this campground is beautiful. They have donkeys and goats. There is a sauna and a hot shower and a comfortable bathroom to get ready for the day in. The owner is super nice and flexible. I brought my two puppies and that was not a problem at all. They even have a big site at the end where they throw potlucks. I could not have asked for anything better and it is such a bargain. I encourage you to check it out if what I’ve described you something that would appeal to you.

Peaceful, Well-Maintained RV Park with Great Amenities
We had a great stay at Oak Forest RV Park! The sites were clean and spacious, and the staff was friendly and helpful. It’s close to downtown Austin but still feels tucked away in nature. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet after a goalz work, convenient stay with solid facilities.
