River Site 2
Great spot to camp!
We stayed in site 2 while in and around Austin camping. This particular site is huge. You can fit at least (8-10) 6 person tents. We had one 12 person tent and one 4 person tent in the back clearing. We brought our 2 dogs and they had plenty of room to roam. Site 1 however, is next door so you can see and hear their presence if someone books it. The property itself was nice and the attendant, James, was incredible to work with. He welcomed us on our first day and brought us firewood on the second day (they can provide basic essentials like firewood and but spray). All the sites are pretty much separated by trees and the river plus sites are right next to the water. We walked from site 2 to the beach area between sites 17 and 18, which was a nice 5 minute walk through the property with our dogs. We also used their outdoor showers and appreciated the hot water and the fairly clean port-a-potty. They have canoe and tube rentals but unfortunately, we didn't have time to float. We also saw some folks fishing that day but they hadnt caught anything. The Colorado River is pretty still so no rapids or real current, but the sites are great for camping and the stars at night are beautiful. James also said they would be renovating soon (possibly this summer) to include a new area with flushable toilets, better showers and a pool! Because this place is so close to Austin but far away to appreciate nature, we will definitely be back. Thank you River Forest Haven!

Fantastic place and hosts! Quick to respond and helpful. The roads are a little rough, but the campsites are large and spaced well.

River Haven is really a haven amidst the city vibe. I loved the trees and birds. River and company were all super helpful and kind. The showers were amazing!!

The Bell at River+ Site 3
Relaxing family weekend
We had a lovely 2 night stay at The Bell with our two kids ages 5 and 11. The tent and site had plenty of room for us to spread out. The floating dock was so peaceful. There is an open area nearby where you could play catch or frisbee. It was a short walk to the showers, porta potty, and water spigot. My family really enjoyed the tetherball set up on the other end of the campground. The beach/lawn was meh, but we still enjoyed exploring the property. There are so many pretty spots. There is electricity in the tent and they will deliver firewood to your site, two perks I wasn’t sure about before arriving.

Will be back!
Our favorite hip camp spot we’ve ever used. Bathroom were ok and the trash cans overflowed but overall, staff was SO friendly and honestly just the whole experience was easy and effortless. Such a gem so close to Austin!! Highly recommend. One thing is forest sites do not have picnic sites. Our mistake for missing that.
