GET AWAY without going FAR AWAY! Feels like the middle of nowhere, but it's only 25 miles to downtown Austin and 15 miles to the charming little town of Bastrop with its eateries, shops and historic buildings. Spend quiet nights in the country listening to the coyotes howl and the owls hoot. Hike the nearby Roughs (trailhead is 2 miles away) or book a river canoe or kayak trip with one of the local outfitters. Bring the family and have a weekend event under the trees and covered shade of our Pony Pavilion! Hollis and her wonderful voice, great stories and powerful ukuleles now offer LIVE MUSIC by your very own campfire, for your private enjoyment. (See the EXTRAS category to book a $20/45 minute/weather-permitting show, or a 1-hour Ukulele lesson, or just get with Hollis when you show up at camp) Enjoy the park trails, the Happy Horse on-site Scavenger Hunt, the delightful maze of campground trails (on your bikes!) and the peace and quiet! Happy Horse Hotel is on 22 acres conveniently located between Austin and Bastrop in the Pope Bend of the Colorado River. LCRA's fabulous McKinney Roughs Nature Park is 2 miles up the road, adjacent to the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort. The camp area is 9 secluded, fenced and wooded acres laced with all-dirt flat biking and walking trails on our property. We encourage you to bring your bicycles along. The bird watching is great!

We had a wonderful time at Happy Horse! It was our second trip and the kids requested coming back here specifically! Hollis gave us a great show and Beaux was a thoughtful host. Great site and a great experience all around!

Happy at the Happy Horse!
Heaven on earth! Hollis & Beaux have created a wooded paradise at the Happy Horse! Their hospitality was amazing - offering assistance for us camping novices, making us feel welcome, everything. The campsite and the trails were all amazing. Most important thing: don't fail to add on a concert from Hollis to your itinerary! An hour with her camp songs, her ukulele, and her wonderful stories - all under a full moon by a campfire!! - was magical. We'll be back.
