Arkansas Bend Park Campground

Like the other reviews on here, we found this campground to be pristine and clean, mainly because it has recently been renovated. Clean bathrooms, LARGE camping pads, and lots of privacy between sites. The price is a bit steep though. 30 bucks a night plus a 5 dollar a day per person day use fee. That’s basically 40 a day for a couple people. The showers are luke warm and push button style. Should be a little more user friendly for 40 a night. Still a nice park, but should be a little price break for campers.

Cam down for the weekend to visit some of our favorite hill country wineries. This ended up being a beautiful spot on Lake Travis. It’s 40 minutes to Marble Falls, and about an hour to Spicewood. The drive is beautiful and made for a great weekend getaway. The park is super clean and the pads are huge and level. Will definitely keep this one on our list!

This park has been around for a few years, but was completely re-modeled in 2019. It is awesome. Currently there are 18 RV sites with electric and water, but it looks like they have plans to build more campsites. Each site is built on a large gravel pad. This is perfect to keep dirt and mud out of your RV or tent. Each site also has a picnic table, stand up grill, fire pit and lantern/trash post. There is a fair amount of space between sites and many are surrounded by cedar trees for some privacy and shade. Our site 4 had shade on the picnic table in the morning, but was completely sunny in the afternoon and evening. This park has free wifi! Site 4 is right across from the router, so the wifi was fairly strong. We were also only a 5 minute walk to the lake. The lake is great, but wear your water shoes. Rocks and zebra mussles will get you. We absolutely loved this park. Not a lot of campers or people, so it was not crowded. I think once people start catching on to how awesome this park is though, I think it will be booked. Oh booking is not easy to do online. They have an archaic website that doesnt use Safari or Chrome. You might have to find an old computer with Explorer to do the booking. Also, when you check in, its cash or check only.

This county park on Lake Travis underwent an extensive and well-thought out renovation. Sites are large, mostly level, and separated by landscaping. Lots of bath houses, each with four private bathrooms w/shower.
Can't see the lake from campsites, but nearby trails go along it. Nice ADA trail, picnic areas and kids zone. Quiet during our weekday stay. Friendly staff. Park is a little out of the way, at the entrance to the Hill Country, but a nice break from Austin. Park is still under construction; more sites to be added to the 18 here now. Rate is $30 day, plus $5 pp daily rate. Cash or check.
Tip: Lowes food market and gas station convenience stores nearby. Good shopping in Leander 1/2 hour away: HEB plus, Lowes, Leander Laundry and car wash.
