Cedar Point Recreation Area Campground

I think their pricing structure is keeping both campers and boaters away. They have a per person per day fee that is in addition to the campsite fee. It's $5 per adult per day plus $12 for the campsite. If you're 65 or disabled the per day fee drops to $2. Thus, the absolute cheapest cost per night is $14 and that seems pricey for dry camping where the only on-site activity is boating. We were in site 1 which is big, wide open, by itself, close to the boat ramp and the vault toilet. Site 3 is also big, by itself, and has more privacy but has no picnic table. Sites 4 - 9 are all bunched together with no separation, not our style. Except for a few boaters we were the only ones here over Thanksgiving weekend. Nobody wants to pay the too-high fees, and under different circumstances, we wouldn't have either.

It can be hard to find cheap and free campsites in the middle of Texas, so we were very happy to find Cedar Point. We arrrived a few weeks before they started charging a fee, so our nightly rate is no longer relevant, but the site is nice. Several sites sit out on a peninsula with water on 3 sides. Picnic tables and fire rings are provided.

The vault toilet was clean and maintained. The road in was nice and smooth. It’s a shame they started charging a fee, but I can’t blame them. It’s a nice spot, and very peaceful. Would have given 5 stars if it were still free.

This free campsite at the LCRA Lake Buchanan was less crowded than the popular Black Rock Campground and definitely less noise. The #1 campsite is located on the shore of the lake with good swimming area. The other sites (I think there are only 8) on the lake however beach access is not so accessible for swimming. Also there is much more shade trees than at Black Rock. These are primitive campsites; no water and there is a vault toilet. Also a public boat ramp.
