Best Tent Camping near Round Mountain, TX

Tent campsites near Round Mountain in the Texas Hill Country offer a mix of established and primitive options along Lake Travis and the Colorado River. Tejas Park provides spacious tent pads with fire rings and picnic tables, while Shaffer Bend Recreation Area offers tent camping with direct lake access. Colorado Bend State Park, though slightly farther, provides walk-in primitive tent sites along the river with more seclusion.

Most tent campgrounds in the area feature basic amenities including fire rings, picnic tables, and vault toilets, though shower facilities are rare. Tejas Park provides water spigots near the host site, while primitive areas like Shaffer Bend have only portable toilets scattered throughout. Tent campers should note that summer temperatures can be extreme, with one camper noting that "Texas in summer can be unforgiving." Sites are typically first-come, first-served or reservable through recreation.gov, with fees ranging from $15-25 per night for primitive tent sites.

The tent camping experience varies significantly between locations. Sites at Tejas Park offer good shade coverage with tent pads large enough for multiple tents, making them suitable for group camping. A recent review noted that "the sites have a pad to set up your tent, along with fire rings and plenty of shade." Walk-in tent sites at Colorado Bend State Park require a hike of approximately 1.5 miles but reward campers with riverside locations. Many tent campsites provide direct access to hiking trails, including the 26-mile Goodwater Loop at Tejas Park. During weekdays, tent campers often find complete solitude, though weekend occupancy increases substantially. Water access varies by location and season, with some sites offering swimming areas and others providing only limited shoreline access.
