Best Campgrounds near San Saba, TX

It won't win any awards for being new, flashy, or state-of-the-art, but that's why we found this place so appealing. It's not a concrete jungle, it's quiet, and the owners have gone above and beyond to provide new amenities. The Wi-Fi is free and worked great. Management was incredibly helpful. It's also a steal at $35/night.

Great spot for a quick overnight! All hookups worked great, and they're on city water and sewer. The dog park was enormous, and Goldthwaite is a charming town with plenty to do if you look. They have ice, a general store with RV parts, a library, game room, and propane tank refilling. Can't speak highly enough about Greg and Josh, who run the park. Excellent customer service. They said the owners are installing playground equipment and a hot tub soon, so that will make our next trip even better! Best thing was the price. For $35 and electricity and Wi-Fi included, there's not a better value in the county.

This is a beautiful park with tons of activities and things to do. People are extremely friendly, sites were well maintained though site number 82 was a little narrow.

Park is close to another state park-Longhorn Cavern, which is also a great place to visit.

Tons of well-maintained, hiking trails, two lighted fishing docks, nice wide, boat ramp, an abundance of wildlife, the list goes on. Great place for families, or couples looking for a quick getaway. The nearby town of Burnet is home to a great Air Force Museum, and has some great restaurants as well.

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.

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.

I car camped here while passing through TX in a tent site, and I found the peninsula-like campground gorgeous! Lake views, deer, and a well-kept bathhouse just feet away. Spots are close together with few trees around, although few others were around.

Camped here in a tent for 5 days last spring with my best friend. Very friendly staff, awesome showers and bathrooms, lots of birding and wildlife viewing opportunities. Saw my first tarantula and painting buntings here. Overall cozy vibe, Would 100% camp here again if I was back in Texas. Nestled in the woods beyond Lampasas, it’s not a bad drive back into town if you’re wanting to treat yourself to a meal out. Has an awesome General Store right outside the campgrounds, where you can purchase forgotten items and grab a bite to eat at their little restaurant. Everyone in the area is super friendly and helpful. The General Store people had a potbelly pig they let us feed snacks to when we were there.

I had the most amazing time! The Lake is beautiful and the camp grounds are right on the water. Restrooms and showers are clean and close too! Spread out enough to where you aren’t on top of your neighbors, I will definitely be back!

Stayed in mid March, site 62. Nice site with lots of tree cover. Only downside was the multiple squirrels that drove our dogs nuts. Hiking trails are very well maintained, and there’s plenty variety in difficulty level / length. We’ve never seen so many wildflowers, especially bluebonnets. The display was stunning. Facilities at the park were very clean, and it really has everything that you need.

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.

Inks Lake SP: The campground is okay. Get a site that has a water view. The hiking was great.

I stayed here one night on my way back to Dallas after viewing the eclipse in south Texas.

We arrived in the heat of the day. Briefly parked next to the pop up to unload the heavy coolers since we were overheated. Within minutes we were “greeted” by a park ranger issuing a warning for a citation if we didn’t immediately move the truck back on the pavement. Also this park sits next to the highway so there was a constant influx of sirens and traffic taking away from the peaceful setting we were hoping for. Other than that it has beautiful scenery

We took our 3 year old on his first camping trip and Inks lake didn’t disappoint. Plenty of activities and not too far from town if you need some ice cream after a long day on the lake.

of course i had to pick hiking as an activity for my bday!! out of all trails i picked a GIANT PINK GRANITE to hike over and get to the summit. getting to top was such breath taker LITERALLY because i went there in mid winter😅 (bday is in jan). WALKING AND FIGHTING AGAINST THE WIND up near the summit was actually funnn hahahah omg

Absolutely fun! We stayed for one night but wished we stayed a couple more! Went kayaking and fishing. Definitely recommending to friends!
