Best Campgrounds near Marble Falls, TX

1,048 Reviews

The Hill Country town of Marble Falls has several good camping areas within a short drive. Campers can head 18 miles to Pedernales Falls State Park Campground if they want some good fishing spots. About 13 miles from town, Inks Lake State Park Campground has hiking trails and swimming areas right by the campsites. Lake Travis campers often pick Pace Bend Park, which has many spots where you can easily get to the water. All these parks have rules about fires and how long you can stay, so it's smart to check before going. Since deer and other animals are common around Marble Falls, keep your food locked up at night. The roads to most campgrounds stay in good shape year-round, though they can get muddy after heavy rains. You should make reservations ahead of time, particularly on summer weekends when these places fill up fast. Marble Falls works well for both quick trips and longer camping vacations.

    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!

    Turkey Bend

    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.
