Berry Springs Park & Preserve

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

A county-managed park on the edge of Georgetown, Berry Springs sits about a mile off Interstate 35 on what was once a working ranch, and that history is still visible in the open layout and wide grassy spaces. The park runs along a clear, spring-fed waterway that draws anglers and swimmers, and reviewers consistently mention fishing as one of the main draws. Sites include covered picnic tables, fire rings, and hooks for hanging gear. Full hookups with electric, water, and sewer make it workable for RVs, though one camper noted the sites tend to suit tent campers, vans, and smaller trailers better than large rigs.

Water access has come up in multiple reviews, but conditions appear to vary. Amber N. noted "no water access and about two miles worth of trails" during her visit, suggesting the spring-fed area is not always open or accessible. The park also has resident donkeys, which makes it a draw for families with kids. Trails run roughly two miles through the preserve.

Crowds are generally light. One visitor found the campground nearly empty in October, which falls within Texas's peak camping season, so the park does not appear to fill up the way more popular destinations do. Nightly rates run from $20 to $100 depending on site type, and reservations are available. Nearby options like San Gabriel River RV Camp Resort give RV-focused travelers an alternative if hookup sites book out. Berry Springs works well as a low-key base for a weekend close to Austin.
