8. Colorado River Camp Spot - Boy Scout Island
Be the first to review!Smithville, Texas•3 SavesSeveral isles of gravel and silt mound up in the Colorado as it flows away from Austin and toward Bastrop. At 9 acres, so-called Boy Scout Island is particularly popular for paddling breaks and overnight campouts. But why the abundance of islands here? Look to the dams in Austin, just upstream. “When you dam up a river, the flow drops,” explains Melissa Parker, a river conservationist for the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department. “The Colorado near Bastrop doesn’t have enough flow to flush the sediment”—the main ingredient in Texas’ river islands.

Wonderful site!
My family and I enjoyed our two night stay at site 2! peaceful and beautiful surroundings. Picnic table, fire pit, hammocks and the bathroom/shower is so close! There is also a large sink - perfect for washing dishes. You can park at the site - we set up two tents with space to spare. Right by the river - easy to fish or spend time in the multiple hammocks. The hosts are so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Awesome park with tons of activities!
Campsites are a little close together, but well equipped otherwise. Went for The water park, which is a blast, and campsites are within easy walking distance. There are a ton of other activities as well - putt-putt, laser tag, paddle boats, fishing, etc. also had curbside trash pickup which was nice.
Would have been nice if there were some incentives for the water park for campers - early entrance, or discount, but that would be the only thing I would add.

Not the best
I really don't enjoy myself the police officers are very racist towards minorities and I don't think I could go back not a great place.

Buescher State Park Campground
One of the best kept secrets in the Texas State Park system
Great sites of all sizes. Scenic road that is popular with cyclists connecting Bastrop State Park. Wildflowers were in full bloom, and the small lake is great for fishing. Nice, well maintained trails and Park Rangers were very helpful and courteous.

Bastrop State Park Campground
Excellent but noisy
The only reason I gave it 4stars is because of a lot of street noise outside the park. The park itself is beautiful and quiet. Great bathroom fac; very new and clean. All of the tent sides have sand tent pads, but if you’re a hammock camper be sure the trees fit your kit.

I like off the beaten path places, this sure is one of them! The tent sites are very nice, close to the river & oxbow lake (kayaks for rent!). Very peaceful.

Great little park (no sewer)
This park is a great place to visit. Really nice trails. Great staff. Spots are really nice, but mostly very short. Our 28' trailer took up most of the space. But, I was able to fit my truck sideways at the end of the driveway.

Splashway Campground Review
This is a great campground with lots to do. It is awesome like geometry dash lite. We camped: the camp pitch was fairly level with electric hookup, water supply close to the tent and a fire pit for each pitch. There are also RV hookups as well. My kids totally enjoyed the laser tag, there is also a boating pond, fishing and live music on a Saturday night. The toilet block was the cleanest I have ever seen on a campsite- it was as clean as many hotels I have stayed in. One good advice for anyone staying in a campsite in Texas: compared to campsites in more temperate climes, Texas campsites are dusty and have as much dirt as grass on the pitches(and this site is no exception). Bring a tarp to put under your tent- it will be a lot easier to clean than the bottom of a sewn-in groundsheet when you get home.

wildflowers hike
went there just to hike a little but ended up discovering wildflowers has recently bloomed and greening!! we had to extend our hike just to see more wildflowers and wild raspberries that had grown right by the trail
LisaTravelerThousand Trails Colorado River
Wide open space, lovely and quiet
Stayed here for one night while traveling through. We wish we had a little more time to spend here. It's a large campground, with lots of choices of types of spaces to stay, i.e. by the water under the trees, or in an open area.
We appreciate that it was quiet at night. Customer service was very courteous and friendly.
David M.GuideSplashway Campground
Rocky Creek, Somerville
First time there and was really impressed with this campground. The slots are a great price and big sites, most have a metal pavilion over the picnic table, which was convenient. Sites are very level, wide and deep. All the sites have great views of the lake and even if you aren’t on a lake front, there is plenty of access to the lake all around the grounds. Paved roads which was great for bikes or even electric scooters. Wooded trails and lots of wildlife. Lots of deer all over the grounds in the evening variety of birds. The campground sites on a giant peninsula, which gives so much shoreline, which is managed by the Army Corp. of Engineers, so it’s well maintained and undeveloped. Multiple boat ramps and sites that are on the shoreline, which have a shallow bank, so you can Anchor your boat right off the bank and have walk up access to your campsite and boat. Wild Bills is right across the street, which has all the little things you may have forgot to bring or ability to restock on some beverages and snacks. It’s a 10-15 min bike ride from your campsite or a 5 min drive. Very convenient. Bryan, Tx is only 25 mins away and has a Super Walmart with Curbside service if you need to grab something more specific or a larger grocery order. Quick and easy. College Station was about 45mins away and it’s all easy driving.
It can get pretty windy if you book a slot down lower at the tip of the peninsula, but they will let you swap spaces whenever you want to if there is something available. The campsite up the hill are pretty protected from the wind, so regardless of the wind they have options if it’s more than what you want to deal with. Definitely my place to camp when visiting Somerville. They also let me check-in early when the previous camper left early, so I really appreciated that as well.

Decent if you need it
Needed a spot to stay after getting stuck in Houston rush hour traffic and not making it to San Antonio. Very overpriced for what you get. Spot was not level. Seems most of the park is permanent residents. Showers were good. The manager Tammy was very nice and helpful.

The management is great, friendly helpful and someone one looks forward to talk to.
The campsite is really nice, the picnic table is brand new. The bath house is as clean as the ours at the house. The grass was cut short and there is no mud. Plenty of shade nice river with a great trail to it. We love this place.

Peaceful
Clean restrooms, clean shower’s, no need for soap because the pressure from the shower head will blast the dirt and stink off your body!! Lots of shade, plenty of hiking trails.

The staff is great. The park is very nice. Its newer part has no mature trees or other wind block so it windy alot of the time. Other then that, we enjoyed it very much.

Cramped
The sites are back-to-back. Not long enough to park both my truck and 5th wheel. I had to park my truck offsite. Concrete parking pad with grassy lawn. Otherwise clean and taken care of. Small laundry room with old machines. Small dog park.

Schulenburg RV Park
Cozy little park
It’s a small campground but very cozy, cute and clean. Check in was easy with a friendly lady who gave us names of best restaurants and what do do while here. We were shown to our site by a very nice gentleman. We had a beautiful roomy spot by the pond and that is close to a shelter with picnic tables. People were friendly in the park. It was tight to get down the roads leading to our spot but navigational if you went slow. It’s a very small town with not much to do but the people are very friendly. Would stay again!
