What to do
Brewery visits within walking distance: Campers staying at Pecan Grove RV Park appreciate the adjacent brewery. "It's next to a brewery, food trucks, and great pubs," notes one reviewer who enjoys the urban RV experience in Austin.
River activities for families: River Forest Haven provides tubing opportunities directly from the campground. "The tubing is great for people with children who don't necessarily want to go tubing two to four hours... Very short route but water safety should be practiced as it is very deep in some areas," advises one camper.
Cultural events and local entertainment: Austin's vibrant scene is accessible from several RV parks. "Every night they have something going on and they send a text each day with activities. They text you when you get a shipment," mentions a 5-star review from Austin Lone Star RV Community about their organized social events.
What campers like
Spacious campsites: Campers frequently mention site sizing at Cedar Bend RV Park as a significant benefit. "The campsite provides level and spacious sites, which is important for RVs to ensure stability and ease of setup," explains one reviewer.
Security features: Gated entry and safety measures receive positive mentions. "It is quiet and secure. Office staff were very nice and accommodating," reports a camper at Austin Lone Star RV Community. Another notes the park is "very secure, codes used to enter gate, pool, showers/restrooms & 24hour laundry room."
Dog-friendly amenities: Parks with dedicated pet areas receive high marks. "The dog park is big enough to throw a frisbee and it has artificial turf. Very clean," states one review about the facilities at Austin Lone Star RV Community.
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Summer months bring large crowds to Lake Travis and surrounding areas. "Reservations are strongly recommended, especially during peak seasons when Austin-area events draw larger crowds," advises a camper.
Road noise proximity: Some parks experience highway noise despite their scenic settings. "It's located along the freeway, so there is some road noise. However, at night it was pretty quiet," explains one visitor about Austin Lone Star RV Community.
Entertainment venue proximity: La Hacienda RV Resort & Cottages sits near music venues that may affect light sleepers. "Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. We stayed Friday and Saturday nights and the music venue across the road had a band playing outside from 8-11p," recommends one camper.
Tips for camping with families
Short tubing routes: Look for campgrounds with manageable water activities. "The tubing is great for people with children who don't necessarily want to go tubing two to four hours," notes a camper at River Forest Haven, highlighting the shorter routes suitable for younger children.
Game room access: Some RV parks offer indoor entertainment options. One visitor to Austin Lone Star RV Community described it as an "RV park with cabins, game room, pool and wonderful professional staff" that accommodated their "family of 5, Grandma, Mom & 3 teenage boys."
Playground availability: Hill Country Lakes RV Campground offers community spaces for families. "Cozy place, awesome community fire pit and super friendly owners/staff. Nice clean amenities," states one review, noting the shared spaces beneficial for families.
Tips from RVers
Leveling challenges: Prepare leveling blocks as some sites require adjustment. "The spots are gravel (a little unlevel due to the slight hills) but perfectly spaced with full hook up," mentions one RVer at Austin Lone Star RV Community.
Cell service reliability: Remote workers can function well at most parks. "The sites are cement with fire pit and picnic table. Every night they have something going on and they send a text each day with activities," notes a reviewer, indicating strong enough connectivity for text communications.
Access to urban amenities: RVers appreciate parks with proximity to city services. "This is the third campground we've stayed at, and it's conveniently located just 15 minutes from the city, with grocery stores and other essential shops nearby," explains one RV traveler about their Austin Lone Star RV Community experience.
