  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

  Austin Lone Star RV Resort

  Perfect Austin stay

  This rv resort plays up the RESORT aspect. It’s near perfect.

  Right off the highway, safe (gated entry), well kept, pretty.

  The owners do a great job of contacting you with all the instructions and help you might need before you even arrive. There are bath houses, a pool, and even a playground for kids.

  The spots are gravel ( a little unlevel due to the slight hills) but perfectly spaced with full hook up.

  We had a quiet, peaceful Stu. Will absolutely come back!

  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.

  Austin Lone Star RV Resort

  Austin Lone Star RV Resort

  Located only 9 miles from popular, South Congress and downtown Austin this resort is right off the interstate but nestled in between bushes and trees that offer a sense of privacy. Each site feels spacious and comes with its own picnic table and full hook-ups.

  The showers and bathrooms are private and very clean. There are plenty, so there always seems to be at least one available no matter what time of day. The pet area is spacious and clean and has benches. There is a nice laundry room, children’s playground and pool for guests to enjoy as well. Overall we enjoyed our stay at Austin Lone Star RV Resort.

  Longhorn RV Resort

  Nice place, but a bit pricey

  Overall I like this park. It's away from the interstates and expressway, but close enough to run and get supplies whenever you need. It is a bit noisy, but nothing too bad. My only real gripe is that the septic connection at my spot is at the same height as my RV connection - no matter what I do, I can't get it to have a slope. Most sites are better, but the connection at all of them is raised up about 6". The other thing I'm not happy about is the price ($250 a week). It's a bit steep, but it is a gated area (resort is a bit of stretch). There are a lot of long-term/permanent guests here, and they do make the place look unkempt. I still give it 4 stars, but they need to clean it up a bit. I've stayed in real RV resorts, and for the same money, I've seen better.

  Pecan Grove RV Park

  Cool Urban Campground

  This is a cool urban RV park in the heart of Austin Texas. The park is located along Barton Springs road in the coolest part of town. It’s next to a brewery, food trucks, and great pubs. It’s also very close to. Barton Spring Greenway and Zilker Park where the ALC music festival takes place in the Fall. The RV park has laundry facilities and bathrooms as well as full sewer, water, and power hookups. The residents are a collection of hippies, lost souls, and people just having fun in Austin. If you can get a reservation this would be the ultimate urban RV experience in Austin. Although many of the sites are taken by long term residents, some sites closer to Barton Springs Road.

  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.

  Austin Lone Star RV Resort

  Quite nice for a city RV park.

  Most RV "resorts" we've come across are just parking lots where everyone is stacked on top of each other. We were very surprised at the spacing here. You could fit another RB in between us and the next person. Plus, the trees and bushes make it feel more natural.

  Staff greeted us, and took us to our spot even though we arrived several hours before check in. Very easy access to downtown Austin, about a 15 minute drive.

  Full hookups. Extremely clean, well maintained and updated. Most spots are pull through, with a few back in spots on one side.

  Nice laundromat. AND... they have a propane service where you just put your empty tanks behind your rig, they come pick them up and fill for you and just put it on your tab like having a hotel room. Super cool...

  It is right next to I-35, and you can hear the highway noise. But overall, not bad.

  Flatonia RV Ranch

  Nice overnight stay

  We found this RV park a great overnight stop while traveling I-10. Many long termers, but they stayed to themselves. Plenty of room for big rigs. Road noise from highway, but not a negative for us. Sites are gravel/rock with grassy areas adjacent. Not perfectly level, but we wiggled the trailer around a bit in the spot until we got close. Full hookups. Laundry onsite, though we didn’t use. Looked clean. Bathroom is an odd layout with no doors separating stalls or toilet - curtains only. They were perfectly functional and clean though. Good value!

  Comfortable

  Two sections, older for permanent or long term; newer well spaced, sites toward office. Five star private bathrooms, pool areas are clean and well kept. Grounds are manicured with fire pit common areas. Two DOG parks, coffee cart on site, and lots of green for dog walking. Only con is non existent WIFI. They do have fiber for long term.

  McKinney Falls State Park Campground

  Perfect Austin basecamp

  Why we booked: We wanted to check out Austin and prefer park campgrounds to RV resorts in general. Having hookups meant we could take our time and stay awhile, especially at the price.

  Campground: A well-maintained campground with a mix of nomads, retirees, and families. Just about what you'd expect from a solid state park campground. 

  Quirks: Late check-in can be a bit tricky. Solar might not always be easy. I've heard the park gets mobbed by day-use in the summer.

  Site: 20 in the Big Oak loop was just right for us. Lots of Carolina Wrens! Easy in and out with our 27' travel trailer and F250.

  Nearby: Hiking trails, the Lower Falls, and the Onion River are all nearby. It's not super feasible to bike, as you're out a ways from most amenities, but car access to pretty much anything you need.

  Value: Unbeatable.

  Austin East KOA

  Great family campground

  if you have dogs this will probably be the biggest dog park at an rv resort that you have ever been to. everyone is very friendly everything is very clean. the office sells tons of goods that you may need for rv or camping. the grounds are well maintained to feature the natural beauty of the area and with respect to sustainability. the best part about this park is the ample space between sites, making you feel private and spacious.

  It’s a place to sleep. That’s all it really has going for it. Noisy and dirty. It’s more of a long term place.

  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!

  BEAUTIFUL and peaceful RV Park

  We’ve had such an amazing time here. There’s multiple dog parks, hammock areas, common areas with fire pits and grills, gardens for the community, and a incredible coffee truck over by the welcome office (closed on Tuesdays). Beautiful and loving community of temporary and long term RVers. 10/10 for Austin

  Lake Bastrop North Shore Park

  Lake Bastrop + Amenities + Peace

  Lake Bastrop North Shore Park Park is managed by the Lower Colorado River Authority. There’s a office at the entrance were one can pay your admission fee. Or if you arrive late, there is a self paying station that’s available 24 hours 7 days a week. At the small office one may buy ice, drinks and souveniers.

  This campground has a number of sites for RVs with full hook ups. There is a sewage dump station in the center of the park. Also, there are traditional car camping spots with drive up parking spaces, picnic tables, fire rings, grills and water and electrical hook-ups. There are restroom facilities are scattered throughout the park. At the far end of the park there are campgrounds for primitive camping. These have more basic amenities - there is an open space, community fire pit, community grill and some picnic tables.

  Not too far from the primitive campground there is a trail that leads to a nice view of Lake Bastrop. There’s also a community space in the center of the park which has, picnic tables, a fishing pier, open water access and an area that is roped off for swimming.

  This park is distinguished from the Lake Bastrop South Shore Park because it tends to attract campers with more basic needs. I would say that there are fewer families, less crowds and more peace and quiet.

  I found the staff to be nice and friendly.

  Blue Mule Winery

  Great little spot in Texas for an overnight.

  We discovered Blue Mule Winery on Harvests Hosts, but it seems anyone can make a reservation to stay there by emailing Ash at least 24 hours in advance. It is also courtesty you visit the winery, sample and buy your favorites wines. they also have fresh eggs for sale.

  Along with overnight RV / Travel Trailer camping, they  have a duplex cabin that you can rent through Air BNB.

  This little family farm is well maintained, super clean and  not only do they have IMO some of Texas' best local wines, there's also Alpaca Llama's and Donkeys. They even gave us a bag of snacks to feed them (FYI the Llama's like to have their neck rubbed). The frozen wine slushies are really good.

  Camping is in a small field in between the winery, and the Llamas.  We found a perfectly level spot. I would say a max of 4 could fit in here comfortably.

  This is dry camping / boon-docking only. Pack out whatever you take in, including trash.

  If you're traveling to Austin, TX like us, this an amazing place to stay overnight. be sure to get up and watch the sunrise.

  The entire family is incredibly friendly. A must stop for sure.

  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.

  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.,

  Beautiful, peaceful, close to Austin

  This is a beautiful and huge camp ground with lots of nature to admire. The camp sites are spacious and feel very private, yet you don't feel alone with other campers nearby you. We had a stunning full hook up camp site with a climbable tree and took a hike to the waterfalls! There's lots of hiking trails that go really far, if you have the time. Definitely recommend!

  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.
