    Big Creek Resort, Marina, & Campground

    One of my favorite local campgrounds

    I like this park because it's close to home. It's got a good space between sites and is broken into 3 or 4 areas so you're not just piled in like sardines. You can being 4-wheeled vehicles that have a steering wheel. No sewer hookups, but there is a dump station. Unfortunately, subsequent major floods have caused them to lose much of the tree cover. It's great when camping in groups though, which we do quite often. All sites have views of the lake. They have a really good fireworks display on 4th of July. 

    Type of Park: Private-owned 

    Check In: 4p Check Out: 3p 

    Site#79- Back-In

    $35 per night($105 total) 

    Water 20/30/50 amp 

    Picnic Table with concrete pad 

    Grass site. No rock or concrete base

    👍🏻 Pros: No trees to avoid 

    On the end of the line so no one is on the"front" side of the camper 

    Good area for camping in groups 

    Close to good swimming areas and store 

    Close to boat ramp

    👎🏻 Cons: Split-level site- table is down a slight hill from parking area. No shade 

    Across from the cabins on stilts, lake view is a little blocked 

    Cabins are being refurbished and the equipment and materials are stacked near the site(and some construction noise) 

    No grill or fire ring at this site

    📝 Park Notes: Gates closed and locked from midnight to 6 am on weekends. 

    Closed at 10 pm on week days. 

    Can bring golf carts, ATV's(machines with steering wheels, not handle bars) 

    Dump Station- a little hard to get to for big rigs. Also hard to leave the park from there. You may have to go back into the park to turn around. 

    Park Store- has fishing bait and supplies, too 

    Cabins are under re-construction There is a Places Munzee here

    Boat Ramp

    🐦 Wildlife: Birds: Cormorants(Water Turkeys), barn swallows, scissor-tail

    • Dump Station for each camping loop

    • Restrooms/ Bath House

    Oak Forest RV Park

    BEAUTIFUL and peaceful RV Park

    We’ve had such an amazing time here. There’s multiple dog parks, hammock areas, common areas with fire pits and grills, gardens for the community, and a incredible coffee truck over by the welcome office (closed on Tuesdays). Beautiful and loving community of temporary and long term RVers. 10/10 for Austin

    McKinney Falls State Park Campground

    Excellent State Park close to Austin

    This park is a great option for nature camping very close to all the attractions of Austin. The sites are spacious and they all have electricity and water hookups (some sites have 50 amps, most have 30 amps). All are reservable and very affordable at $24/$20 respectively, with greater discount if you’re a Texas State Parks Pass holder. We are out-of-staters and found great value in the parks pass! Second nights at campgrounds are 50% off and free admission to all state parks.

    The sites are very private and spacious and have nearby hiking trails accessible from the sites. There are several camping loops in the park, most of which have easy access to the Onion Creek hike & bike trail. Booking online is straightforward and check-in is virtually contactless.

    We spent time hiking the Homestead and Flint Rock trails and really enjoyed the peace and solitude, knowing we were so close to the metropolitan area. A perfect spot for enjoying the city during the day while staying surrounded by nature at night!
