  Camp Creek Recreation Area

  Nice place. Easy drop box.. Expensive for no amenities.

  Was planning on tent camping nearby and left a day early and all the hotel room were booked. Tried finding a tent site and no luck. Found this place online and figured I'd give it a shot. First come first serve, pick your spot, fill out the card, put it and 25 bucks in a drop box and good to go. Very easy system. I do think 25 bucks for a place with no running water, no electric, and no actual bathroom is expensive but this park is actually extremely nice and the view is great. Can camp right on top of the river.

  River Road Camp

  River Road Camp + The River

  This is a very small family operated campground. It offers basic RV and tent camping facilities and services. There are full hookup sites for RVs. There are tent camping sites with water and electrical hookups.

  The main feature of this campground is that a number of the sites are right along the banks of the Guadalupe River. There is a little sidewalk and stairs that lead down to the water which makes it easy for families and kids of all ages to access the river.

  During the winter, it is easy to reserves sites at this campground. During the summer, it is wise to reserve a site in advance. Any of the RV sites 1 to 30 are right along the river. Any of the tent sites 1 to 9 are along the river.

  The campground does allow day access for $7/person.

  The campground is located about 15 minutes from the town of New Braunfels where you can find grocery stores, restaurants, banks, hardware stores and other entertainment. If you're looking for Texas BBQ, check out the Rudy's or Cooper's BBQ in New Braunfels. Also located within the town is the Schlitterbahn Waterpark which is I believe the largest waterpark in the US and has an incredible amout of fun rides, slides and pools. It's a bit pricey, but it is a full day of fun for the family.

  Pedernales Falls State Park Campground

  Great hikes, NO cell reception!

  Tent camped 14JUL20, 1 night.

  First, it was 108 the day I camped, in a tent, with no AC! (I did have a fan though.)

  I 👏🏽 love 👏🏽 this 👏🏽 park👏🏽!! Hiked about 12 miles of trails and every one had a payoff. I could have spent a week hiking that park if I had time.

  The sites are HUGE and have cool features like retaining walls. Not a lot of trees though but I barely noticed until I remembered I suffer from cedar fever, (went to school at UT.) Thought I had the COVID as I left until I remembered I camped under a cedar tree, haha.

  BE WARNED, there is zero cell coverage once you get into the park. Might not be an issue for some but I had to drive up to the ranger station a couple times to let my wife know i was okay.

  The water was low when I was there but it was clear and cool and absolutely beautiful.

  This park exemplifies the Texas Hill Country!

  I’ll be back soon.

  Hidden Falls Adventure Park

  Great Off Road camping destination

  This is not a campground this is an adventure park that has a campground. They have everything from primitive dispersed tent camping to RV site hook ups all the way up to a $600 per night cabin. They have excellent off road trails for stock trucks up to rock crawling rigs. They have a basic general store near the tent camping area that is decently stocked (yet overpriced) and they have food trucks that are sometimes open sometimes aren’t. The bathrooms are maintained and spacious enough that they don’t feel over crowded. They also have a shooting range on site so if you want the true Texas Hill Country experience you should check out HFAP. Be respectful on the trails not only to other people but also by not tearing up the trails themselves.

  Windy Point Park

  Perfect for beginners

  This was my first time tent camping alone without my dad. And it wasn’t tooo terribly bad. I say beginner spot because you can buy pretty much all you need there other than a tent. But they have air pumps encase you left yours

  Cute campground

  It was a cute place. A lot of the RV spots are taken up by people who live there. The glamping tents are super cute. The regular tent camping is nice and grassy. Dogs have to be on leash 24/7 that was the only bummer.

  Excellent Stay!

  I like off the beaten path places, this sure is one of them! The tent sites are very nice, close to the river & oxbow lake (kayaks for rent!). Very peaceful.

  Guadalupe River RV Park and Campgrounds

  Best tubing ever!

  Spots are great! Walking for tent camping is close about 50 ft but get here early as it’s very crowded. Lots of people fishing too so be careful of hooks in the water. We did a little hiking but not a ton of that to do here.

  Dot's Spots

  Kimberly K Says:

  This was the perfect getaway for a last minute weekend trip. We arrived after dark, but Reza was so helpful in making sure we had everything we needed as we set up at the tent site. We really appreciated the little extras: reclining chairs at the tent site and also at the fire pit, the flush toilet and the outdoor shower, a picnic table and firewood was also available. Both Dot and Reza were so pleasant and very accommodating to our needs. They were readily accessible without being intrusive. We definitely had our privacy but knew they were just a phone call away. We cannot wait to come back and reconnect with nature. The stars are abundant and the vibe is so amazing, we felt completely recharged. We're so happy we found this gem!!

  Pace Bend Park - Lake Travis

  Hot spot for rock climbing.

  We camped here for several days to get some rock climbing in at nearby spots. It was a great open campground for tent camping. It was quiet but slightly dusty. The bathrooms were clean and staff was nice. If you like hiking trails this is good area for it.

  Nice campground with lots of River Access. Beautiful little area with small rapids called Devil’s playgroup is fantastic. Lots of RV and tent sites on the water. Small store for snacks and water. Bathrooms are fine - you need tokens to shower.

  Drive Up Tent Camping

  Wonderful summer time spot, plenty of drive-up tent sites (don’t settle for the first you see unless it’s a busy weekend) great cliff jumping and deep-water soloing opportunities for the seeking. Also great swimming/fishing holes. Hiking is short but nice.

  Lake Wood Recreation Area

  Quite campground on the Guadalupe River

  Great spot to get away and camp. $25 for tent camping with water and electricity. Also has hookups for RVs. The dam failed a few years back so the lake is no longer there but the river is great for fishing and some swimming. Lots of shade from old pecan trees and soft grass for comfortable tent placement. All sites have a fire ring and picnic tables.

  Short trip out of the city

  Cabin staff are available as well as tent campgrounds. Trails are pretty. Beware of snakes, the poisonous kind we saw almost everyday.

  Muleshoe Bend Recreation Area

  On the lake

  This is an LCRA park on Lake Travis with primitive sites. Mainly tent camping. There's a trail system that weaves around in a big circle mainly used by mountain bikes but perfectly good for hiking too. Others have commented about the bluebonnets, but really, now that the lake is up, the area where the flowers were is now covered by water. Fish on!

  Pace Bend Park - Lake Travis

  Beautiful spot up on the cliffs

  Fantastic short stay in Pace Bend on Lake Travis. We paid for the improved tent camping site but ended up switching to a site North Gracy Cove which had way better views of the river and more privacy. We still went back to use the showers and running water at the improved site though.

  Gracy Cove was a great spot for a swim to cool off on a hot day. No boats allowed.

  Guadalupe River RV Park and Campgrounds

  Guadalupe River at its Best

  One of the first camping trips I had with my son was Guadalupe River State Park.  We tent camped and had one of the primitive sites.  We had so much fun swimming in the river and hiking.  We worked with the park Ranger program and my son was awarded a Ranger Badge.  The bluffs above the river are gorgeous.  Mid November and swimming was still fun.  The next morning was 10 degrees so a whole different experience.  One of my favorite places to visit.

  Pedernales Falls State Park Campground

  Hiking and Geocaching galore

  This is a park that we have been to multiple times. It is beautiful. The RV sites are Water and Electric only. There are primitive sites as well as water only for tent camping. The sites are large and there is wildlife everywhere. In my pictures you will see we had a deer walk right into our site several times. There are tons of trails and geocaches around the park. Make sure you hike down to the falls and wander up and down the river. There are tons of small alcoves that are private and make for beautiful pictures.

  McKinney Falls State Park Campground

  Beautiful park close to Austin

  Tent camped 21JUL 1 night.

  Super clean park, good trails and great water features. The whole thing is kind of built around a couple swimming holes, which are the main attractions, and pretty amazing.

  Sites were big and well treed. Super secluded and plenty of shade to be had.

  Trails aren’t close to the sites, so you’ve got to drive once you are setup, which might not be an issue for most, but I like to dig in then hit the trails.

  This was one night camp 6/10 for me in my campmaster project and it was fantastic.

  Hot but no rain.

  Ranch 3232

  Perfect for different types of camping

  You have the choice of camping at a tent site, park your RV, to glamp in a yurt or cabin, or even walk out to a more secluded “TentRR” site. Regardless of what choice you make, there’s a community kitchen with small appliances/dishes and the bathhouse with showers, toilets, and vanities. It really is the best of both, especially if you’re trying to camp for several days and would like to stay relatively clean and well fed. We’ve stayed there three years in a row now!

  Lazy L & L Campground

  Perfect Family Trip

  We recently took a vacation to Lazy L & L and from the tent site to the dance at night and the store with everything you could need right there was everything we could ask for and some. The night we ate at the dancehall the food was amazing and the live band was great. They had horseshoe and bean bag toss set up with a volleyball net and jenga as well. We were right on the water close to the bathroom and showers, and everything was kept clean. We definitely enjoyed our stay and will be back again for another camping weekend.

  Pedernales Falls State Park Campground

  Beautiful trails, great campsites, and fantastic clean facilities

  Campsites can get kinda tight in the primitive camping area during peak seasons. The pull in tent sites range from close neighbors to very private. The tent pad and parking spot orientations are nice for both camper trailers/rigs and for people that car camp or truck bed camp.

  This park also has some of the best campsite-to-trails access. The main campsite loop is in the center of the park at the nexus of multiple major trail loops that lead out to major trails of the park. It's a convenience for most, but it's an important feature when you camp in the bed of your truck, so you can't move your vehicle during the day.
