Had a great time. The camping areas were very wide and had a lot of room for us. There was a table, fire pit and a water pump. The water was crazy low but that was expected. There was a little night noise and we had two bucks damn near walk up to the campsite. We'll definitely be coming back here.

We really like this campground! As others have stated, the sites and bath/shower houses are new and very well done. There are 8 or so sites in phase one that will have FHUs, but they haven’t come on line yet (the open sites have water and 20/30/50 electric). It’s only 30ish minutes to Cedar Park, with great restaurants and all the regular suburban stores.

1/30/24 UPDATE: Yep. We're still loving the place. We stayed at site 6 this time for more shade. We also walked to where the cabins are to get a sneak peek. They're very simple cabins with a Murphy bed and 2 bunks, and heat and A/C. Cooking will need to be done on appliances you bring or on the grill. There's also a pergola on each site. You can fit a tent or 2 on the site also. Everything seems to be done and ready to go. Speaking with a frequent visitor there, the park is awaiting approval to rent the cabins out. I'm adding pics of site six and pics of the restroom facilities. They all look the same regardless of which restroom you're closest to. That's all folks! ___________________________ Love it. Know that when you come out here, the sites are cheap, but you have to pay a fee per person per day (which we aren't used to). So instead of $20/ night it came out to $100 for 3 nights,2 adults, 2 children. We'll definitely come back though. There's a camping pad, electricity, water (although brown upon arrival),a fire pit, a fire ring, nice restrooms with a shower, walking trails and dare i say...wifi. None of the sites appear to be super shaded, only partially shaded... although i did see someone hang their hammock on the trees around the pad. So there's shade that way. No matter what site you're at, you're close to a restroom with a shower. With that said, our nearest restroom was closed. There was another one not too far, though. You do have to hike down steep and rocky hills to access the lake. Fine for us, but not our 14-year-old fur baby. Visit #2 was another fantastic trip! We had site 5, which was RIGHT next to the restroom, which is great for those 2am/4am potty trips. 😑 I ran into the maintenance man and the site hosts, who are all fantastic and friendly. I saw the maintenance man having to clean the pits each morning. It would be a nice gesture, for anyone staying, to clean the pits after their use. If you're up to the task, take a small shovel. I'd recommend the park provide a shovel (since we didn't think of it) for anyone inclined to clean the pit. We had friends join us on night 2 and they LOVED the park. They camp about 3x per year and said it's the nicest park they'd ever been to. They'll be back, as will we!

Love this place. Each site is brand new. Even the public shower house was redone. And they are still adding additional campsites and mini cabins right now!! Each campsite has a lot of space. The area around the park has nice short hiking and biking trails and plenty of wildlife to see. The only downside is that the water at Lake Travis was only at 44%. So it was quite a hike to get to the water. But once you made it to the water, it was definitely refreshing. Once the water is back to what it is supposed to be, we will definitely be back!!

Great, clean and fun park. We went camping and it was a lot fun. The bathrooms are family style with a shower in them, Nice and spacious with a lock. What a wonderful feature. The loop for camping is great👍. Not too big so the kids had a great time getting a little extra freedom. The park was great. Nice view. Wonderful climbing opportunities. Great new grills. Plenty of picnic tables. Recycling and trash throughout the park. Water bottle and fountain features throughout the park, although it does not taste good. The trail has been recently created and is a very short and easy walk. The staff was very friendly.
