    Pace Bend Park - Lake Travis

    One of my favorite spots in Texas

    Pace Bend is one of my most favorite places to camp in Texas.

    Not far from the old (and new!) Backyard (a great place to see live music in the live oak capital of Texas), Pace Bend is a quick drive away. A perfect spot to pitch a bunch of tents, jump off cliffs, swim and barbeque. Maybe 45 minutes from downtown Austin (without traffic).

    I won't lie the cliff diving kinda freaks me out. Be careful is all I'm saying!

    There are several primitive campsites throughout the park with picnic tables, grills and toilets. Additionally there are 20 RV hook-up type sites that offer running water, electricity, restrooms and showers.

    Shaffer Bend Recreation Area

    Weekend Trip

    Shaffer Bend Rec. Area has a beautiful setting in the Texas Hill Country right off of Lake Travis. At the gate entrance you have wonderful landscape views. All of the camp sites are situated next to or a short walk to the water.

    The camps are clean. Most are equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. In the large camp area, some have BBQ pits with a couple big communal grill/smoker. The same area has a horse pen as well if you're an equestrian enthusiast on top of a camper. It is a primitive campground. The large camp area has a couple port-a-poties. At the gate entrance there are men's and women's rooms with running water. That's about 3 miles from the camp sites. So, be prepared to dig holes, bring your own portable toilets, or hold it.

    Considering you're on the lake, the water access is surprisingly limited. There are a few areas along the water you can walk in, but there's not a dock or boat access. I recommend sandals or water shoes since there's a fair amount of plant life along the shore. The same areas you can walk in would be good for kayaks though. The camp sites are situated along a narrow section of the lake. So, there would be plenty to explore.

    hot

    the campsite is good for equestrians. if you're a kayaker you can put in here and travel down and take out elsewhere. the lower Colorado River Authority has plenty of places along the Colorado to facilitate this. we stayed here for 4 days before Memorial Day weekend and it was hot. there are no showers or bath houses. there are Porta-Johns located throughout the campground. Texas in summer can be unforgiving. Lake Travis is home to boaters and Jet skiers. there are fish if you're into that.

    Pedernales Falls State Park Campground

    Cliffside Camping

    We went camping over memorial weekend at Pedernales Falls. We did the primitive camping. 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. We saw deer in the morning in the grassy area next to our tent. We also found a path down to the river that was close by.

    Kerrville-Schreiner Park

    Don't be fooled...

    Don't be fooled, this city park originated as a State park and has all the amenities!

    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.

    The trails varied in terrain and were well maintained as were the rest of the grounds. We didn't check out the river side of the park, however this June we are returning to and will be on the river side and will provide an update afterwards.

    UPDATE:

    Just got back from a weekend trip on the river side. Like the other reviews stated, it was a bit louder being so close to the highway. Additionally, there are street lamps by the ranger station that illuminate the tent sites which were annoying. It was nice however to be within short walking distance of the river, but if I were to go again, I'd stay on the other side of the park like my first time.

    Small RV and tent-dry camping

    Relaxing and clean. Very windy, so no bugs! 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. Small RV plus tent for us.

    Pedernales Falls State Park Campground

    Great flexible park

    One of my favorites you can do a lot of different activities from horse back riding swimming hiking biking. The facilities are well maintained and the sightseeing is wonderful.

    This site has no shade at all but is close to one of the trails to swim

Guide to Stonewall

Equestrian camping near Stonewall, Texas faces challenges as most campgrounds lack dedicated horse facilities. The Texas Hill Country terrain features limestone formations with elevations ranging from 1,400 to 2,300 feet, creating a unique ecosystem for both campers and equestrians. Summer temperatures often exceed 95°F while winter nights can drop below freezing, requiring camping preparation for temperature extremes.

What to do

Wildlife viewing: Pedernales Falls State Park offers excellent wildlife spotting opportunities. "Beware of cayotes and curious deer," warns Jimmy R., who stayed at one of the primitive sites that require "a few miles hike in."

Geocaching adventures: Several parks feature geocaching sites for those interested in treasure hunting. "This beautiful park is just miles away from my home. Camping, river play and over 20 geocaching sites make it a great place to wind down," shares James G. about Pedernales Falls.

Water activities: Krause Springs provides unique swimming experiences with natural springs. "Kids can jump off the small Cliffside or fly on the rope swing. If you like nature this is a dream spot," explains Brandi W., noting the springs are accessible from the campgrounds.

What campers like

Beach access: Some sites feature sandy beach areas perfect for cooling off. "We set up at site 15 it has an awesome view of the river/lake and it's walking distance down to the waters edge. Great spot to fish for some bass or take a dip in the water," reports Steve L. about Shaffer Bend Recreation Area.

Trail systems: The area features diverse trail networks suitable for hiking and mountain biking. "There are 10 miles of hiking/biking trails that are mostly under tree cover, the park offers a nice amount of day hiking," notes Tim W. about Muleshoe Bend Recreation Area.

What you should know

Seasonal wildflower viewing: Spring brings spectacular wildflower displays, particularly bluebonnets. "I HIGHLY suggest coming out here during Bluebonnet season. It is Absolutely beautiful!!!" recommends Jennifer J. about Muleshoe Bend.

Water level fluctuations: Lake levels can vary significantly throughout the year. "When the water level was down, there was not a soul around. I considered it 'My park,'" shares Jennifer J. about her experience at Grelle Recreation Area.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Some parks feature dedicated play areas for children. "We have enjoyed the hiking trails down by the water and the playground for our kids," mentions Lauren Z. about Arkansas Bend Park.
