The facility is one of only two reservable campgrounds on the lake and often fills up on weekends during summer.

Lots of high reviews for this park. I thought the hiking was okay. The campground layout for the RV area is not nicely laid out in my opinion. See my pics. The group and many tent areas are exceptional. The bathrooms are okay. Volunteer friendliness is much better than the staff for my experience here.
Guide
The park is on Lake Georgetown which is beautiful. Lots the f mature trees. Campsites have some decent separation. Sites have covered structure with picnic table. Also have fire pit and barbecue. Some spots have direct view of lake. Bathrooms are ok but only reason I do not give higher review.

Small, but very clean / new restrooms. Lots and lots and lots of fields, walking trails. Perfect for dogs who like to run. In January no one is here, all by myself. Great rates, they also offer primitive sites where you hike in just a little.

This campground is truly something special. The landscape is breathtaking, the trail leading back to the tent spots is definitely for those looking for something a little more challenging to get to, and the river is there for you to chill by to swim, fish, kayak, etc. There’s also a ton of wildlife. Saw some bald eagles, reptiles, fish, turtles, heard coyotes howling at night, and saw tracks of some larger animals. There’s some stores not too far away if you need things in a pinch. Colorado Bend State Park is right next door for those looking for some additional hikes and sights. And there’s several distilleries and vineyards in close proximity. I’ll definitely be coming back here.

Unfulfilled obligations, improperly maintained grounds, lazy, unproductive, not motivated, inappropriate behavior with park females and just plain rude are all signs that San Gabriel River RV Park have bad park managers. Ms.On-Site Manager has said to more than one resident“if you don’t like it here, just leave.Your home is on wheels”. Below is a list of documented requests made thru the proper channels. Drainage ditch dug and left open for approximately 3 months creating unhygienic and unsanitary conditions breeding places for flies, mosquitoes, and other disease-causing organisms. Sewer leaks on the ground at the park owned septic tube, took 6 weeks to repair. The Texas Commission Environmental Quality has been contacted, and proper paperwork documented. Weeds growing 2 feet high, orange caution cones on side of street indicating danger; however, the cone is not visible because grass is covering the cone, large trees hanging on RVs, sewer leaks. Management does not read the electrical meters monthly resulting in incorrect reading and a guesstimate of voltage numbers thus overcharging residents. Allowing people to move back into the park that were kicked out in the past that did not follow the rules. Permitting a Beekeeper to retain beehives next to his RV, putting other residents at the park in danger of being stung or injured by the bees. Allowing residents to stay in the park that have not paid rent for several months. Using residents at the park to perform their responsibility and not paying them. If you are reading this feedback, you might think, oh, these people are just disgruntled x-residents. Why would you stay at the park? Management sent an eviction letter with reason stating“you are not happy” which was correct. We parked our Newmar at San Gabriel River RV Park about 10 days a month and wanted our site to look nice. When we would request maintenance, their response was always,“We’ll get to it”... And they never did. Taking into consideration all the above park maintenance issues and the eviction notice, we will move forward to another property where management listens, provides customer service, in a professional manner, maintains the grounds, and acts upon the requests of the residents with respect.
LegendThis was our first time staying here. We were in town for a music festival and picked this park based on location. We loved the water views from our site and the fact that each site had a covered picnic table area. The campground and bathrooms were clean during our visit. The lady working the gate was very nice as well.
Guide
Beautiful and quiet park with 30/50amp hookups. Water but no sewer (dump station with easy access). Plenty of deer frequent the park.
GuideWe love this campground. The sites are fair sized and most have decent privacy with lots of trees. Bathrooms are ok. Some sites have amazing views of Lake Georgetown. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Not too bad for a City operated RV Park. It was quiet at night although the flood lights were a little annoying. My electricity did not work but they fixed it quickly. I thought it was $20 a night, but it turns out Friday and Saturday nights are $40 each. Bathroom was clean. The City of San Saba is very nice.

TravelerThis place is quiet and out of the way. Down in the canyon there is no cell service so you can break away from the modern world. Nestled right on the river, with a natural Sulphur Spring. A spring fed swimming pool cleaned weekly and cabins with all the amenities.
GuideOnly there for one short night but it was delightful to sit in the water of lake Travis and watch the stars on a warm texas summer night. I’m guessing it gets crowded during the day but I had enjoyed my evening there.
TravelerI brought my family of four here for our first solo camping trip with two littles and we loved it! The drought caused the lake to be pretty dried up so our water front view didn’t have much water! That didn’t take away from how beautiful the view was from spot 11! The camp host was exceptionally kind and really takes care of the park! Already making plans for our next trip!
ScoutBeautiful scenery and easy access to the river. Roads are very rough though so make sure you have a high clearance vehicle.

I haven’t stayed here yet but I wanted to make a review about their open season. They have it listed on their website, but they are only open from March 2nd to September 30th for the year of 2022. This might change for 2023. Just wanted to clarify for anyone that might want to stay here and read from that other review that they’re closed.
Scout
This is a great little spot. Very secluded for being so close to civilization. Perfect for a weekend camp. Bathrooms could be nicer. Didn’t look into the showers this trip. About an hour ish outside of Austin.
Guide
I’ve spent a lot of time in Belton, but never at this campsite. I was delayed by a day due to tornadoes in the area, so I was already frustrated when I arrived to find that no one mans the entry gate…ever. I also did not receive my confirmation email upon booking, which contains your code to enter the gate, but luckily enough they have a number posted you can call and camp hosts within sight of the gate who can help you get in. I was on loop 4, which has the best shade, but some of the sites can be a little crammed in (and it can become loud on the weekends which is to mostly be expected). No sewer hookups, but they do have a dump station on site. Another perk is the private boat ramp for campers along with covered picnic tables at the less shaded sites and a playground for kids. My favorite part was honestly the showers though—they were so fantastic! The bathroom is heated in the cooler months and the water pressure and hot water can’t be beat; it’s the best camp shower I’ve experienced! I also had good enough service with AT&T to work with my phone’s hotspot, but Verizon was pretty poor and even streaming videos was choppy, though you can call and text as usual.
Guide
Everything is so so clean. The staff is so nice. 1 mile from park and ride metro train to downtown! Lovely little cabins but they are close together-which is fine for me but if you want a lot of space idk. It’s standard for KOA I think?
