  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.

  Krause Springs

  Plenty of room for everyone

  Natural springs w/tent & RV camping (NO PETS), fishing, kayaking, lake access, hammock areas and day use picnic w/grills. CASH ONLY FACILITIES!! Family owned. Beautiful Butterfly garden great for yoga, reading or enjoying the mind of a gardener. Several RV w/H20 & electric hookups (reservations required). Tent sites are not #, random locations (30 acres), plentiful and 1st come 1st serve. Toilets/showers near RV sites, portable toilets farther out. Pack it in/out, dumpster at office area. Love this place and grateful the owners share their haven with the public!

  Austin East KOA

  Great Place!

  This KOA is fairly new and they say it’ll be expanding soon. Everything is very well kept up and sparkling clean. It has private showers and bathrooms that are immaculate. The staff was so friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome, even though we were only there for one night to practice our set up and tear down, as we are newbies. Spacious RV sites with bbq grills, FHU, fire pit, picnic table, some shade. Really nice pool, small game room with a big, tree-shaded deck. A nice little general store was perfect for forgotten items.

  Pedernales Falls State Park Campground

  Hill Country Haven

  Another Texas State park that shines! Sites are big and even though pretty close to the other sites still feels very secluded! Picnic table with shelter and Fire Pit with grilling included. Restroom and Showers close enough to every campsite! Firewood and Ice sold on site just pay attention to hours of operation! The trails were well marked and great sites! River was a great way to relax after decent hiking! Lots of wildlife, Deer, birds and Hogs!!

  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.

  Black Rock Park

  Not a DARK SKY Friendly Campground

  Pros:

  • Very small park

  • Great view of the lake as trees/shrubs are minimal

  • Clean campsite except for the trash in the fire pit

  • Most sites had 2 sewer hookups.

  • Most sites had a nice distance from neighbor sites.

  • Crushed granite surrounds the site parking pad so no muddy mess after rain

  • Lantern pole, BBQ grill, fire pit with grilling grate and wooden picnic table at each site.

  • Extremely clean restrooms/shower facility.

  • Heated restrooms/shower facility(we camped the week after Christmas).

  • Restroom/shower facility sink had hot water and soap dispenser

  • Mini golf course in the park.

  • 2 bar signal AT&T

  Cons:

  • With reservations made 153 days prior to arriving for our 4-night stay, we encountered confusion by a rude check-in clerk who told us to come back at 3 pm (it was then 230pm and we could clearly see our campsite was vacant). Since the entry lane was down to one lane, we tied up traffic for nearly 20 minutes until the check-in clerk finally realized that we were camping and not checking in for their cabins. I’m not sure why she didn’t see our truck and 28 ft bumper pull trailer.

  •$6 fee to reserve on-line.

  • No mention on the park website there was a burn ban in effect, so no ground fires permitted, not even for cooking.

  • No site privacy due to minimal trees/brush throughout the park.

  • Campsite BBQ grill and fire pit were next to each other, so it would have been difficult to gather around the fire pit.

  • Good condition asphalt site parking pad was uneven side-to-side as we noticed nearly all sites in that condition with all requiring leveling.

  • NOT A DARK SKY FRIENDLY CAMPGROUND! Numerous street lights throughout this camping loop and unfortunately we had one directly across from our site#11 which lit up our site like daylight! Who camps under a street light???

  • Non-stop highway noise, even throughout the night, from Texas 261.

  • Doors on toilet stalls were only 5 feet tall.

  • Lots of large roadway speed bumps.

  • No hiking trails.

  • No park WIFI 

  We used Black Rock as our “jumping off point” for various Hill Country Holiday Light displays, which worked out very well. Kingsland is closer to the park than Burnet where there is a HEB, Ace Hardware, Dairy Queen and local restaurants. Closest Walmart to Black Rock is in Marble Falls, along with a HEB.

  Rebecca Creek Campgrounds

  Cute campground

  It was a cute place. A lot of the RV spots are taken up by people who live there. The glamping tents are super cute. The regular tent camping is nice and grassy. Dogs have to be on leash 24/7 that was the only bummer.

  Pace Bend Park - Lake Travis

  Lakeside Camping

  Plenty of camp sites to choose from with fire pits, grills, benches, and close by bathrooms. Very close to Lake Travis where there's always gorgeous sights. Would definitely recommend.

  Cranes Mill Park

  Nice Spot for a weekend

  Nice small campground a bit off the beaten path. Our tent site was surrounded by a low pipe fence. We parked in our designated parking spot (2 vehicles allowed) and had to walk about 30 yards to our site. It wasn’t horrible but the fence meant we couldn’t roll from the car straight there. We had a beautiful view of the lake! I loved the covered table and surrounding pad. Nice fire pit.  I also liked that we saw the sheriff and a host drive through the campground a few times. The bathhouse was functional but poorly maintained. It would have benefited from a daily sweep and counter wipe down at minimum. There was one bathhouse for the whole campground so it is a fairly long walk from the peninsula end to the toilet. A bike would be a good accessory. The boat ramp was closed and gated on our trip we weren’t sure why. This was disappointing because we weren’t able to get our kayaks in the water. I’m not sure if the closure is temporary.
