  Lake Bastrop North Shore Park

  Interesting park

  The park only has six campsites left. The rest have been converted to rentals of Airstreams or large tents for $150+ a night. There are three pretty good sites for large rigs in the interior and three camp sites facing the lake right next to each other. The trails and kayaking are great. Nice showers. I was here during the week and there were two large trailers and all the rentals were empty.

  About This Campground Overview Cranes Mill Park is located on a long penins

  Nestled against the trees at Orrasis Ranch Campground, with Star Wars themed touches,"May the Forest Be With You" is all you could ask for in a"campout" experience. Whether on a layover from your most recent bounty, or just hiding out for a bit, this small rv is sure to leave a big impression. Step out the door, and explore. LOTS of space outdoors, a lighted entertainment and kid play area, plenty of chairs and tables for enjoying the fantastic sunsets, nature, firepit, and just 1 mile from lake access. In addition to May the Forest Be With You RV, other accommodations are also available at The Orrasis and can be found via the Escape link on our website. sp2

  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.

  Splashway Campground

  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.

  Lake Bastrop North Shore Park

  Beautiful location

  LCRA Bastrop Lake North Shore was a beautiful location, great beach access, and warm water. We stayed in sites 71, a pull through, and 76, a back in. Sites are large and accommodating a variety of rigs. Undesirableness of the park --Grounds were not kept very well. Huge fire ant mounds everywhere. Grass was pretty tall, making it very difficult to watch for ant mounds, not to mention snakes. We were there for an entire week Monday-Monday, and you would think that they would make sure the Grounds were mowed and ready for a busy weekend, this was not the case.

  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.

  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.

  Beautiful shaded spot

  Great spot in the trees, very shaded. Bathrooms/showers were not the best, but it's a state park, so I get it. Overall, I'd consider staying there again.

  Thousand 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.

  Splashway 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.

  McKinney Falls State Park Campground

  Perfect Austin basecamp

  Why we booked: We wanted to check out Austin and prefer park campgrounds to RV resorts in general. Having hookups meant we could take our time and stay awhile, especially at the price.

  Campground: A well-maintained campground with a mix of nomads, retirees, and families. Just about what you'd expect from a solid state park campground. 

  Quirks: Late check-in can be a bit tricky. Solar might not always be easy. I've heard the park gets mobbed by day-use in the summer.

  Site: 20 in the Big Oak loop was just right for us. Lots of Carolina Wrens! Easy in and out with our 27' travel trailer and F250.

  Nearby: Hiking trails, the Lower Falls, and the Onion River are all nearby. It's not super feasible to bike, as you're out a ways from most amenities, but car access to pretty much anything you need.

  Value: Unbeatable.
