Sunset RV Park

Sunset RV Park operates as a small private facility in the Texas Hill Country near Dripping Springs, built into a hillside that creates tiered sites and some challenging turns for larger rigs. The park primarily serves long-term residents, with limited spots available for short-term visitors seeking a quiet base camp for exploring the Austin area.

Sites feature full hookups on wide asphalt pads, though some spots sit uneven due to the sloped terrain. Basic amenities include clean restrooms, laundry facilities, and functional WiFi, with propane available on-site. The elevated location provides natural breezes and tree coverage for shade. Weekly rates run around $300, with reservations handled by phone and contactless check-in procedures. La Hacienda RV Resort & Cottages sits nearby for campers wanting more amenities and shorter-term focused operations.

Guests frequently mentioned excellent hosts and peaceful atmosphere with reasonable rates. Sites vary from spacious to cramped, with basic but clean amenities throughout the hilltop property.

Peace in Hill Country

I typically rate campgrounds as they fit into 1 of 5 categories. This campground will be rated as a Basecamp — grounds that offer a comfortable home base that you’re happy to return to after a day of exploring the surrounding area. Ratings for this category are based on: Value to cost: 5 Overall grounds: 4 Utility of sites (hookups, layout, accessibility): 4 Local Attraction Proximity: 4 Reservation Process/Ease of Getting a Site: 5 Amenities: 4 Customer Service: 5 Cleanliness: 4

A really lovely spot in Dripping Springs, Sunset RV Park is a small park in Hill Country outside Austin (this is not the one near Lake Travis). It’s clear that this is a destination spot for snowbirds to the area as most everyone was set-up for a long-term stay and we saw very few folks come and go during our one-week stay. The park is very quiet with close attention paid to COVID precautions (this is the first park we encountered that was 100% contact free check in).

The park is built somewhat into a hill, so some of the turns are a little tricky and our spot was a bit uneven. The space itself was a very wide asphalt driveway with a picnic table and metal fire ring below a stone wall, perhaps a bit close to our neighbors as I wasn’t totally certain it was definitely ours to use.

The amenities are pretty basic- clean laundry and bathrooms and a good enough wifi signal to allow us to use the internet easily. There’s also propane available on site. I enjoyed the layout of the grounds and each site was afforded some privacy thanks to the set-up and tiered spaces. The weekly rate of $300 was very reasonable.

Excellent access to Hamilton Pool (make reservations!), Reimers Ranch and Westcave Discovery Center. Also about 30 minutes to most of Austin including SoCo, McKinney Falls SP and 6th Street.

Reservations were made by phone with a very friendly woman and, as I mentioned, check in was contactless, so we really didn’t encounter anyone else aside from a friendly wave from folks maintaining the grounds in golf carts. The place is a nice find outside Austin and very close by to family for us, so we’re happy to have found it and will return!

Quiet Friendly Place

Only a few spots to rent out for the weekend but a very well kept beautiful place to visit. Sits on top of a hill so plenty of breeze and trees for shade. Very quiet and friendly guests that live there full time. Close to lots of things to do around the area. Great host. Lot 6 was big and came w a table fire pit and bbq grill.

Sunsets at Travis RV Park -

I'm always on the lookout for new campgrounds nearby my town. It's nice to have a few places to escape to for a quick day or weekend trip. I searched on thedyrt.com for campgrounds nearby and noticed a group of listings near Lake Travis in an area called Hudson Bend. I decided to check them out.

I visited The Sunsets at Travis RV Park, but discovered that it is not really a RV campground. It is more of a long-term RV park. It seemed that most of the guests were permanent or month to month guests. The park does offer reasonable rates, but there are few amenities. The park is somewhat removed from the lake shore, so if you'd like to visit the lake you'll need to drive to it. There are some trees and open space at the park, but the RV sites are located pretty closely to each other and there are limited opportunities to really explore nature at the park.

I believe that there are better options available. See La Hacienda RV Resort
