    Spacious Skies Bear Den Review

    Camp Creek sounds idyllic! A true escape from the digital world. Imagine trading your phone for a fishing rod, and the constant notifications for the sound of the river. It's like the real-world version of Snow Rider 3D, but instead of virtual slopes, you're navigating the great outdoors. The simplicity and the views alone seem worth the trip, a perfect recharge for the soul. Just remember to bring everything you need to fully embrace the off-grid experience!

    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.

    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!

    CampEZ in SxSouth Austin

    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.

    Oak Forest RV Park

    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.
