It was a fun time. Site 100 was away from everyone and it was nice and quiet. I enjoyed my time here as a first time travel trailer person. It was nice. I didn’t use the bathrooms there and I didn’t see the showers but I’d go back.

It was amazingly beautiful out here I couldn't have asked for a more relaxing time in my life. I would definitely recommend it 😁

GuideOnly stayed one night, but so wish I had stayed more! Well kept sites with lovely picnic table covers on each one.

Stayed here in the family camper for four nights in early Aug, 2023 and was blown away by the amazing service. They answered all our questions kindly and when the fridge broke down in our camper they even called out a local Waco company here to come out and fix it for us. 5/5 stars!
TravelerThis place was just downright amazing. It was our first RV trip and James was so helpful!! The roads were extra wide and every site was pull through! They have thought of everything here. The cabins and treehouses are just adorable and shine on the lake at night. I felt extremely safe as a solo female traveler with a kiddo in tow. Not a speck of trash in sight! I think we have been spoiled for every other campsite now!! I HIGHLY recommend this place. The bathrooms and showers were cleaner than my own at home!!
Guide
Beautiful and quiet park with 30/50amp hookups. Water but no sewer (dump station with easy access). Plenty of deer frequent the park.
ScoutSpent a week in Georgetown ,tx ACOE park . Big park 148 sites , we are in spot 148 , next to the entrance . Park is an hour outside of Austin if that . Not bad but the sites are on top of each other pretty much , one after another not much real estate between sites . Lots of Deer , and some good trails . We came for the Longhorn game and stayed a week . I will stay again
RangerA little pricey and the prices are subject to change depending on capacity(don't really care for that). Some reviews dock them for the train noises, but we weren't bothered by it at all, especially with AC running.
📋 Site#305:
🔙 Back In🅿 Site Pad: level, concrete, long enough, but a little narrow. Parking spot for tow vehicle next to it💧 Water- good pressure, high enough for filter and everything to hang down⚡ Max amp: 50- had a couple issues with Over Current at first, but it seemed to stay on after that. The Power Watch Dog tripped the power and did its thing.💩 Sewer connection was in good shape. It was a little closer to the front of the site, so I used 2 hoses📶 Wifi- available but I didn’t use it📺I picked up multiple channels just with the antenna. Even GRIT. I escaped the heat in the hottest part of the day.🔥 Fire Ring w/Grate Standing Grill Picnic Table: hexagon shaped. Looked like wood, but was the plastic composite material. Heavy. Two of the overflow parking spaces were on the side of the site, so it was handy. This site is on a corner, so it was a little bigger. There’s a little tree planted there that will give shade in a few years
👎🏻 Cons:
The site was a little narrow and there’s no widening at the entrance on the back-in sites. You have to bring your good backing skills.
📝 Park Notes:
🚻 Restrooms- very clean and spacious. There are a couple ADA restrooms with showers that can be accessed by wheel chair and multiple household sized showers. Each one is male/female so it would be good for families with children.🚿 Showers had good pressure and multi-function shower heads. Glass doors. Very clean.🧺 Laundry facility had 6 sets of washer/dryers. Credit card or app. No cash.🐕 Off-leash dog park was big and had a separate section for smaller dogs. There was a nice dog wash station near the restrooms. No washing of dogs or rigs at the individual sites.🛒 There was a small store in the main office with souvenir items, a few RV necessities and ice cream.🚶🏻♀️ A trail runs along the length of the park along the creek. No getting in the creek though.🏚 Cabins with and without lofts. All have screened in back porches🤿 Pool with shallow end and lounge chairs in the water. A hot tub that will hold about 30 people. You can literally swim across it. Small splash pad area for the kids.Covered pavilion area with large BBQ pits.🔥 Large fire pit with chairs around it🤾♀️ Playground equipment, 2 volleyball courts, horseshoes, tether ball, hammocks, tables, porch swing(hanging from a tree), ping pong table🪑 2 group areas, 1 was large and had a view of the pool. Residents can use it at anytime unless someone has reserved it for a private event. They have coffee and condiments there from 8-10am. They had Donuts for Dad for Father’s Day(but open for anyone).🍩☕🦌 Wildlife: Various birds, squirrels🗑 Trash pick up at the sites in the morning Some buddy sites available on the ends of the rows Golf carts are available for rent or you can bring your own Restrooms/Showers/Dog Wash/Dog park are on one end of the park and the Pool/Volleyball/Playground are on the other end by the Office/Store/Event rooms. A golf cart or bike would be handy.🌳 No shade trees on the RV park yet, but young ones are planted💲 Prices fluctuate depending on the demand for spaces📅 There are events in the park on weekends👩🏻💼 Staff was very friendly and helpful. Always smiling.
Everything you need is very close. Walmart, Home Depot, Salt Lick BBQ, Dell Diamond, Kalahari Resorts(Indoor water park), restaurants, dancehalls…it’s almost in the City, but doesn’t feel like it. We have had some fun Munzee events in Hutto, so there’s lots around if you enjoy scavenger hunts on your phone.

Guideawesome campground. if you study the park map it is very easy to find a spot with lots of shade. spots are spacious, some large. we stayed in site 24. next closest neighbor was 75 feet or better away. site 24 has the rv door facing east. with the trees and pavilion, that side of the rv was in the shade all day. 50 amp service and water, no sewer at site. dump station is easily accessible. camp host was very friendly. each site seems to have its own pavilion, which i have not seen before. especially at $26 per night. some sites even had a screened-in bunkhouse. has boat ramps and a swimming area. the only con is the swimming area is a little far to walk to. we will definitely be back.
Ranger
Overall another great COE as far as big open level spots. Most spots have covered picnic tables. Fire rings, and grills at each spot also. Lots of critters..especially armadillos! Bathrooms are less then to be desired, very few showers work, and those that do were a bit in a need to be repaired. Overall nice quiet area, nice clean dump station (one of the best we have seen). Would stay here again.
Legend
We stayed at Union Grove 5 days. Would come back in a heart beat. Our site was a pull through. Asphalt with grass all around. The roads are one way, so it’s a hike to the dumpster. The sites sit on the lake but there is really limited lake access due to the craggy nature of the shore line. The shelters are great. Like most Texas camp grounds, it could use a few more trees. But we will be back!
LegendClose to Austin, Lake Georgetown will never disappoint. The campsites are clean, ours was next to the lake. The day/night we stayed the wind never dropped below 18 mph, so we didn’t do much outside. The dump station was very easy to access from both directions. A definite go to again place.
Scout
This is a great little spot. Very secluded for being so close to civilization. Perfect for a weekend camp. Bathrooms could be nicer. Didn’t look into the showers this trip. About an hour ish outside of Austin.
Guide
Everything is so so clean. The staff is so nice. 1 mile from park and ride metro train to downtown! Lovely little cabins but they are close together-which is fine for me but if you want a lot of space idk. It’s standard for KOA I think?
ScoutWe really enjoyed camping here! Although there are a lot of campsites, they are pretty spread out. Each site has a covered pavilion, which was really nice. The bathrooms are good camping bathrooms. We just wished there were more trails to hike on! We saw a few deer run through our campsite during breakfast!
ScoutThe campground is divided into 30amp and 50amp sections. Many sites in the 50amp section are level enough for a class A coach to get level using automatic lifters. Some require additional levelers.
There is a lake front section but most are not level and best suited to trailers.
Each site has water and electric with a group dump.
Scout
I’m not ppl
RangerThis is a large campground with many sites, some of which are even double sites if you're camping with friends. A decent number of them are lake front and all have a cement covered pad for the picnic table. The park has access to the 26 mile Goodwater loop hiking and mountain biking trail that goes around the entire lake. The trail is very rugged for bikes. The boat traffic on the lake was pretty low so it's a good place to take a kayak or canoe. The main downsides are the pure number of campsites in one park and the fact that there's only one dump station for all of them!
ScoutWe come here every year. Quite, calm. Fishing, swimming, animal watching it has it all.
ScoutWe purchased our 2022 R-Pod from a local dealer and looked for the closest, highest rated RV park.
Redbud Ranch RV Park was what came up.
Robin, who I don’t know if she is the owner or not, is professional, caring and treats the guests with utmost respect, patience and was very knowledgeable.
I used the ladies restroom to shower and it was very nice and clean.
Park guests followed all rules of quiet hours and driving rules.
Free coffee in the morning as very much appreciated. Sanitation and Covid 19 protocols followed.
If we travel back this way in the future, we’re definitely staying.
Beautiful green grass, level concrete pads, drive areas properly drained.
Trees are planted and taken care of.
I bet it’s really nice in the summer.
It is by a railroad track, but to us, it was no big deal. Our site was a pull through.
It made it extremely easy for my husband and I who had no idea what we were doing.
GuideNice COE Park
TravelerSuch a nice place to park and relax! Ten dog park is huge, grounds immaculate, pool, hot tub, laundry and showers are incredibly well kept and best of all the staff!! They are hands on helpful, super social and always driving around the grounds to see how your morning is or if you could use a hand. They know your name and genuinely take an interest!
Such a refreshing pleasure!!! I would highly recommend a stay here! You’ll love it!! And it’s easy to drive in and out!
ScoutThis park is very clean and quiet. Loved the atmosphere and location. Was not fat stores when needed. Was not a busy location. Very calm and laid back. Loves it and will definitely be back!
ScoutOur experience at this park was good. It was very hot but there was a covered picnic area which helped a lot. The spaces are spacious and parking was adequate. It was difficult to get to the water from our site but doable if you did not mind a little workout. The swimming area was great. They were not doing a good job of keeping the bathrooms clean. This was really our only complaint. I do recommend this park.
