Two hours northwest of Austin, this park offers cave tours, river recreation, and over 35 miles of hike and bike trails. Visit in the off-season and enjoy a break from the intense Texas heat or take a dip in the cool, clear waters of Spicewood Springs for a refresher on warmer days. Texas’s tallest waterfall, Gorman Falls, is the prime attraction for visitors of Colorado Bend State Park. This 70-foot marvel can be reached from a moderate 3-mile hike where you can enjoy cool mist from the spring-fed waters upon your arrival. There are 15 drive in campsites at Colorado Bend where you can park RVs up to 30 feet, though the rest require some extra work to reach. 28 walk-in campsites can be found in the main campground, as can two primitive group campsites near the river. Looking for even more rugged seclusion? Hike to the Backcountry Windmill area where you will find designated backcountry sites just a mile from the trailhead. Every camper will find what they need at Colorado Bend State Park.

    Clean and Quiet

    This site was very clean and the bath houses were tidy and neat. We stayed right on the water and it was beautiful. Park staff was present and we would see them often driving around and checking on things.

    Nice campsite, lots of trash

    Really nice campground with showers and good space to feel away from your neighbors.

    We had a dirty campsite and planes roaring overhead in the night.

    Hill Country Getaway On The Lake

    We stayed at spot 50 in the west look. It was extremely hard to back into, there is a tree right in front that you have to angle around. Site was somewhat level. Bathrooms were a little far away, you could see them from the spot, but it was about a.2 mile walk. Not a lot of street lights throughout the campground made things nice and quiet at night. The site had good Verizon cell service, around 25-50 mbps. The Tmobile service was around the same. The lake was beautiful and there were a ton of trails and spots to sightsee. The big draw for this campground is the proximity to Longhorn Caverns state park, which is a must see and do. Overall the campground was clean, relatively quiet, right next on the lake, with a ton of activities. I would recommend staying at one of the other areas that have bathrooms closer and better sites.

    Nice place, arrive early for instructions

    Beautiful location and facilities. It was difficult for late arrival to see and erroneously enter private cow pastures. Because we arrived late, we had no instructions on locked shower room. Get instructions be c or arrival. Quiet and relaxing. Worth it to spend more time hear.

    Hidden riverside gem

    This is an older park, but the river access makes up for the outdated but clean facilities. Our side of the park was along the river and had great shade. The other side had no trees and seemed to be more full-time folks. Facilities are a little dated but clean. There are tons of full-time folks, and I can see why. The river is right there. Great river access and space to sit and watch the tubers go by. Very few bells and whistles. Some folks said it was much more community oriented before the new managers took over. They used to do movies and food trucks, and things just looked better. But it was nice. It was expensive for what it was, but again... the river access made it great.
