About

River Forest Haven is a unique space that seeks to bring you closer to nature. We do not artificially light the camp and we strive to leave as much of the property in its natural state as we can. This provides a unique experience that is not your typical campground as we keep all of our campsites tucked under lush natural canopies. Car and tent camping works great! For most sites, you can easily drive up to your spot. Arrive, take a look around and settle into your site. We are always happy to deliver any of our items from our general store- just message us or give us a call and we will come by.

With nearly half a mile of Colorado riverfront to swim, fish, toob, paddle-board, kayak, and canoe*, along with 30 acres to hike and explore, River Forest Haven is also a quick 20-minute drive from downtown Austin.

River Forest Haven is the perfect place to unplug and get back to nature. Finally, a place where being disconnected is actually a good thing.

Camping near Austin

This place was a convenient location near Austin and was on the Colorado River. Noteworthy mentions:

Easy last minute booking which was nice because we couldn’t find many other camping spots nearby for this price.

It was pretty quiet except for the cars on the nearby road.

There were plenty of sites though some were better than others. Sites on the River seem best. Sites 30-50 where we stayed do the job but some were missing fire pits and tables.

It smelled a bit swampy.

The portapotty was clean.

There was tubing in the River available but not open when we were there.

Seems like it would be a nice family spot in the warmer weather.

Hey Taylor, thanks for staying with us despite the dreary weather we’ve had for 2 weeks. Unfortunately the constant rain has caused less than ideal camping conditions.

Just for clarification- all of our Forest Sites do have fire pits. Occasionally they get moved around, but we are always happy to move a pit over if you find a site where this has occurred. Our Forest area is intended to preserve the wilderness as much as possible, so we have chosen to keep it as close to its natural state as we can. This includes not having picnic tables. This is also why we price the sites at 25% less than that of the river sites and limit the number of people in this area.

I hope that helps a little and we would love to have you back when the weather is nicer out.

Absolutely fantastic place to day trip on a Sunday evening

I was turned on to this place by a friend of mine. Was incredibly clean, was very spacious. The tubing is great for people with children who don't necessarily want to go tubing two to four hours... Very short route but water safety should be practiced as it is very deep in some areas. The staff is very friendly and I am definitely looking forward to my next visit.
