"a crown jewel of the Texas Parks system. Hiking, horse riding, swimming, floating. At one with nature. Bird watching."
"This was some of the best TEXAS camping we've done. We found a really nice spot that was on the cliffside and had an incredible view of the hill country. It was isolated enough from other campsites."
Available this weekend
from $10 - $100 / night
"We stayed in the Fox Run Loop towards the back of the park away from the highway and it was nice and quiet. The showers and restrooms were decent, again reflecting other Texas SP facilities."
"All sites seem to be pull through, so that’s nice but if you get an even number site in the pecan loop be aware of the proximity to a bust county road with a lot of road noise."
from $27 - $45 / night
"Pace Bend is one of my most favorite places to camp in Texas. Not far from the old (and new!)"

from $15 - $30 / night
"I happily drive over three hours to camp here... Dogs are not allowed, but service dogs are. Just call them in advance and let them know. It is CASH ONLY. Also, be careful how far you venture."
"Cool, spring-fed water refreshed everyone on our group on a hot summer day in Texas"
"Only there for one short night but it was delightful to sit in the water of lake Travis and watch the stars on a warm texas summer night."
"As you walk into the lake (walk fast if you dont want to get bitten) you will find pockets if cooler water spouting up. Its kinda like stepping into a refridgerator but underwater."
"Set on the lake, muleshoe recreation area is run by the LCRA. Clean camp sights dotted a long the lake offer access to the water."
"My campsite was pretty shaded and the outhouse wasn’t too far of a walk. They have an outdoor shower at the entrance as well as a filtered water/ice machine."
from $25 / night
"Dogs love running along water’s edge and jumping in. Horses ok too from the looks of it. Sites 1-13 closer together and more in site if each other but still ok. Great hiking and walking."
"This is a great little place on Lake Travis. Going in the spring time is the best because of all the wildflowers. Trails are easy. Campsites are clean with a fire pit and a grill."
"Purple campsite was just a small walk away from the small store and bathrooms. It was a nice campsite but the sites were kinda close together."

from $20 - $30 / night

from $55 / night
Very nice spot. Clean and well maintained. We will be returning.
This is a wonderful park and campground! Hiking and biking trails galore. Deer were everywhere. It's along the Guadalupe River which still bears flood scars from last summer. Very few people this time of year.
I am here in January, so it is not very crowded in spite of decent weather. There are deer everywhere at this campground. There is also a nice nature trail up the creek. My only complaint is the road through the campground serves the baseball fields so there has been a ton of traffic.
Recently rebuilt county park outside of Austin. $30 plus day fees per night. Includes electric water and showers. Will be opening cabins Spring 2026. Almost nobody here in December. Staff is very friendly. Hike and bike trails.
Large city-run park that straddles hwy. This site had water, 30 amp service, no sewer but dump near by the restrooms. Restrooms were run down, but clean enough, very hot shower water. LOTS of trees, birds, sites mostly level. Quiet. As noted, by other review, it is large and you'll need to take a map with you if you leave and return at night. There is a gate code to get back in, after hours. Some reviews noted a lot of road noise from hwy, but we were not anywhere near hwy, so NO noise. However, the south side of park is directly below airport approach and landing and pvt. jets and general aviation aircraft could be noisy and quite low over campground.
We were taking our first camping trip and this spot is absolutely perfect. We were able to pull into our spot and set up camp easily. Everything is level, easy accessibility, the staff is extremely friendly and maintenance takes care of the property. We will absolutely be back.
Such a great park. Nice and clean campsites are really nice. Hiking trails were excellent, and challenging bathrooms were clean. Cell service with T-Mobile was between 4G and 5G, depending on where you were at. No Wi-Fi, I don't know about TV signals. I didn't camp. I only hiked the trails.
Took the family and had a blast. Fishing, hiking, and geocaching was great. We will be back
Was absolutely stunning, it’s on a cliff top so your “backyard” is a small trail to a gorgeous overlook of the lake and adjacent cliffs. I didn’t expect to be given this view. The campsite itself is also fairly shaded and there are some cacti but it’s the best spot I’ve stayed at while being there!
