  Camp Creek Recreation Area

  Nice place. Easy drop box.. Expensive for no amenities.

  Was planning on tent camping nearby and left a day early and all the hotel room were booked. Tried finding a tent site and no luck. Found this place online and figured I'd give it a shot. First come first serve, pick your spot, fill out the card, put it and 25 bucks in a drop box and good to go. Very easy system. I do think 25 bucks for a place with no running water, no electric, and no actual bathroom is expensive but this park is actually extremely nice and the view is great. Can camp right on top of the river.

  Pedernales Falls State Park Campground

  Great hikes, NO cell reception!

  Tent camped 14JUL20, 1 night.

  First, it was 108 the day I camped, in a tent, with no AC! (I did have a fan though.)

  I 👏🏽 love 👏🏽 this 👏🏽 park👏🏽!! Hiked about 12 miles of trails and every one had a payoff. I could have spent a week hiking that park if I had time.

  The sites are HUGE and have cool features like retaining walls. Not a lot of trees though but I barely noticed until I remembered I suffer from cedar fever, (went to school at UT.) Thought I had the COVID as I left until I remembered I camped under a cedar tree, haha.

  BE WARNED, there is zero cell coverage once you get into the park. Might not be an issue for some but I had to drive up to the ranger station a couple times to let my wife know i was okay.

  The water was low when I was there but it was clear and cool and absolutely beautiful.

  This park exemplifies the Texas Hill Country!

  I’ll be back soon.

  Oxford Ranch Campground

  South of Llano, Not North

  This place is inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. Primitive camping, but they do have a community bathroom and showers. They usually have wood for sale if you want to build a fire. Beware of stickers and ants. They are abundant. There are no designated tent camping spots. Just find a place you like and put your camp there. It’s kind of like camping on a ranch pasture minus the cattle. Also, the location marked on the Dyrt map is incorrect. Oxford Ranch is south of Llano on Hwy 16, not north.

  Walnut Springs Area — Enchanted Rock State Natural Area

  Unbelievable Beauty and Views

  My son and I tent camped at Enchanted Rock and we had a blast. We hiked continuously through the weekend. The high dome was hard but the perimeter trails and smaller dome were so fun. Rock climbing, caves and other fun activities. Texas classic.

  Hidden Falls Adventure Park

  Great Off Road camping destination

  This is not a campground this is an adventure park that has a campground. They have everything from primitive dispersed tent camping to RV site hook ups all the way up to a $600 per night cabin. They have excellent off road trails for stock trucks up to rock crawling rigs. They have a basic general store near the tent camping area that is decently stocked (yet overpriced) and they have food trucks that are sometimes open sometimes aren’t. The bathrooms are maintained and spacious enough that they don’t feel over crowded. They also have a shooting range on site so if you want the true Texas Hill Country experience you should check out HFAP. Be respectful on the trails not only to other people but also by not tearing up the trails themselves.

  Robinson City Park

  No fire rings

  But there are two large smokers. Public bathrooms and showers. Can easily walk down to the river for floating or fishing. These tent sites are not very private or dispersed so keep that in mind. Everything was fairly clean. There was a large public pool and a basketball court but we didn’t get a chance to check them out and use them. We had a nice view of the golf course from our tent site.

  Inks Lake State Park Campground

  Probably my favorite park for a quick trip

  I’ve stayed here lots of times in tent sites, RV sites, and the cabins. I like them all and especially love the hikes and swimming.

  Canyon of the Eagles Lodge & Nature Park

  Our favorite camp in our area.

  We have been camping here for years. We love going to the observatory at night. The tent sites are spacious with giant oaks for shade. A lot of sites with lake access.

  Pace Bend Park - Lake Travis

  Hot spot for rock climbing.

  We camped here for several days to get some rock climbing in at nearby spots. It was a great open campground for tent camping. It was quiet but slightly dusty. The bathrooms were clean and staff was nice. If you like hiking trails this is good area for it.

  Colorado Bend State Park Campground

  River Camping

  At this state park you can tent camp along side the river. There are some aweso.e trails and one that leads to a water fall. You can fish, kayak, hike, or just sit by a camp fire and relax. There are no showers and the toilets are all compostible toilets but not bad.

  Inks Lake State Park Campground

  Great RV park with tent camping and amenities

  Camped here this weekend and it was enjoyable! Plenty of amenities, including restrooms with showers, a general store, and firewood vending machines (which were all empty, but still cool!)

  Tent camping lot was near the restrooms but booked too late to be on the water. Staff was friendly and helpful! Definitely planning to return.

  Pace Bend Park - Lake Travis

  Drive Up Tent Camping

  Wonderful summer time spot, plenty of drive-up tent sites (don’t settle for the first you see unless it’s a busy weekend) great cliff jumping and deep-water soloing opportunities for the seeking. Also great swimming/fishing holes. Hiking is short but nice.

Site 224 had amazing trees and was close to the bathrooms & the Devil’s watering hole without feeling cramped. Definitely camping here again this fall.

  Moss Lake Area — Enchanted Rock State Natural Area

  Make this a regular trip

  I go camping here every year! Its pretty hard to get a walk in tent site on the weekends so book way in advance. The sites are always clean the bathrooms are great. The walk in sites have easy access to the small dome for an easy evening hike.

  Muleshoe Bend Recreation Area

  On the lake

  This is an LCRA park on Lake Travis with primitive sites. Mainly tent camping. There's a trail system that weaves around in a big circle mainly used by mountain bikes but perfectly good for hiking too. Others have commented about the bluebonnets, but really, now that the lake is up, the area where the flowers were is now covered by water. Fish on!

  Pace Bend Park - Lake Travis

  Beautiful spot up on the cliffs

  Fantastic short stay in Pace Bend on Lake Travis. We paid for the improved tent camping site but ended up switching to a site North Gracy Cove which had way better views of the river and more privacy. We still went back to use the showers and running water at the improved site though.

  Gracy Cove was a great spot for a swim to cool off on a hot day. No boats allowed.

  Inks Lake State Park Campground

  Beautiful Area

  I have gone tent camping a number of times at Ink's Lake. The campsites have always been of a good size with a fire ring, water, and bathrooms a short walk away.

  I have often seen deer in the morning by my tent.

  The hiking trails are ok. The best one is probably near the Devil's Watering Hole where you see waterfalls.

  Swimming is great and there is a place near the Watering Hole where you can jump off rocks into deep water.

  All in all, it's a great place to go to.

  Barefoot Fishing Camp & RV Park

  Quiet country campground

  It's a nice property to explore. There's a lot of camp sites here, both for RV and primative tent camping. In fact we liked the primative sites better just for the inclusive nature surroundings. The campground is right on a bend of the colorado river and it's good for swimming, fishing, floating, etc. The bathrooms aren't the cleanest and the electric service would flicker at times. We did have a nice time. I wish the RV area had more trees.

  Lady Bird Johnson RV Park

  Lady bird Johnson municipal park, Texas November 2020

  We have family in the fredicksburg Texas area and the hotels in town are VERY expensive. We had seen this park before as it is next to the airport and golf course, so we decided to try to get a reservation for thanksgiving weekend. I booked through reservation.gov indicating I wanted a tent spot. I thought the cost was high, but chalked it up to being Fredicksburg. Once we got to the park, the park agent told me we had gotten a RV spot and there was no place to stake a tent, but they had a field used for tent camping which was only $10.00 per night! She was so nice in changing our site. The field for “primitive” camping is one you drive into and pitch a tent which worked great for us. There is a beautiful nature trail by the park. The bathrooms are fine, heated which was nice as it was chilly for Texas. Wifi is included I your stay. We will definitely use this park again.

  Dos Rios RV Park

  Rv park with some decent tent sites

  It’s not super private and there are only 2 bathrooms (one men’s and one women’s) serving the entire site and the shower is inside the bathroom so if someone is showering you may be waiting quite awhile to be able to potty. The site was clean and each tent site came with some extra tables and chairs and a picnic table. Had a grill and a fire pit at ours. Dumpster available so you don’t have to take all your trash with you.

  Pedernales Falls State Park Campground

  Hiking and Geocaching galore

  This is a park that we have been to multiple times. It is beautiful. The RV sites are Water and Electric only. There are primitive sites as well as water only for tent camping. The sites are large and there is wildlife everywhere. In my pictures you will see we had a deer walk right into our site several times. There are tons of trails and geocaches around the park. Make sure you hike down to the falls and wander up and down the river. There are tons of small alcoves that are private and make for beautiful pictures.

  Ranch 3232

  Perfect for different types of camping

  You have the choice of camping at a tent site, park your RV, to glamp in a yurt or cabin, or even walk out to a more secluded “TentRR” site. Regardless of what choice you make, there’s a community kitchen with small appliances/dishes and the bathhouse with showers, toilets, and vanities. It really is the best of both, especially if you’re trying to camp for several days and would like to stay relatively clean and well fed. We’ve stayed there three years in a row now!

  Canyon of the Eagles Lodge & Nature Park

  Wonderful Weekend

  If it’s family time you are searching for or just somewhere to get away. This is a good place to go. Although some tent sites had views of their neighbors, they were still far enough apart to have privacy and they were very well kept up with and clean.The port a potties were not very clean but the bathrooms and showers were very clean and private. The view of the wildflowers was amazing, the lake was refreshing and we got to see a Bald Eagle along with the Golden Cheek Warbler and Black Vireo! Plus we were able to enjoy the dark sky at their observatory and then from our tent!

  Reveille Peak Ranch

  Reveille Peak Ranch + Mountain Biking + Event

  This is a private campground that has tent camping, car camping and RV camping. It is open to both individuals and groups. It is an excellent venue for large group events. There are some 250+ primitive campsites and a communal restroom with toilets and showers. There are a few RV sites with water and electricity hookups, but no sewage.

  The campground has some nice facilities. There is a large outdoor pavilion with tables and a kitchen. The terrain itself is typical Texas Hill Country. There are not any dramatic terrain features at the sight like mountains, rivers, waterfalls or expansive forests. The real attraction of this campground lies in the opportunity to pursue a number of outdoor activities. The terrain is great for hiking, trail running, mountain biking and obstacle racing. One can paddle in the pond and even scuba dive in the nearby quarry lake.

  Fort Mason City Park

  Tent Only Sites are Great!

  We found this place by accident. It's a city park that has rodeos or something. So they have a lot of "agritourism" stuff around. There are two rings of RVs spots. They have full hookups and cost $30 a night. Free and amazing wifi. Laundry is 1.50 to wash and 1.50 to dry. Showers. They claim $5 for non-camper showers and $25 for non-camping dumping. It's all a pay box though so…. 

  We stayed in the tent only section. We were very impressed. This section is in the far back of the park, closest to the nature trail. It's a large area to accommodate a lot of tents but there are only 3 electricity poles. All tent sites are only$10/night even if you use electricity. The bathrooms have 3 stalls and a couple showers. Very spacious considering. We camped during the winter and were the only tent campers. They have a baseball field and other things through the back end of the park so you do have some local kid traffic. But it was mostly quiet. Lots and lots of deer. 

  The camp host is in the first ring across from the laundry so you are the furthest away in the tent sites. That being said, they came by a couple times to check on us while we were unpacking and hanging out outside the tent. Seemed very nice. 

  There is a rundown playground in the main park and there is a newer playground in the middle of the baseball fields. We were here for a week with a 3 year old and we stayed mostly on the property. 

  Security wise- there are streetlights on everywhere. I don't know if they are on all night(it's possible…we go to bed at 9pm) so you won't have a true"camping" experience of star gazing but you can peek out your tent if needed. Just make sure you have darkrest or something so the lights don't keep you up. 

  Cleanliness- it was not busy at all so I can't attest to how it is when it is busy but I don't think I saw a single piece of trash anywhere. Each bathroom stall had clean trashcans with empty bags. And there are lots of trash cans throughout the park and people seemed to use them.

  Sheriff Visit - I wasn't offended at all by this but it's worth noting that someone called the police because they were concerned about us. I'm guessing they saw my 3 year old and thought we might be homeless?? Anyway, a very nice Sheriff came by our tent and asked us if we needed help. It was I can only imagine a very typical welfare visit. He asked questions about heat so I pointed out the electricity poles. So if nothing else, you have some nosey people that might be worried enough to call the cops to check on you if you use the tent sites.
