Pitch a tent or park a trailer about a 1/3rd mile away from the river bank at the park’s main campground. The 58 campsites here come tricked out with water and electric hookups, plus picnic tables. Hiking and biking trails led right out of the campground, and Buck Lake sits just to the north, so there’s lots to explore nearby. Crave a little bit of privacy but still want access to all of the action? Try to reserve one of South Llano River’s eight walk-in campsites. Set not far from the main campground, these sites have picnic tables and fire rings plus restrooms and running water nearby. You’ll have to walk somewhere between 30 and 60 yards to get to your site, so pack appropriately.

Dos Rios - Hill Country Adventure

36mi from South Llano River Campground · 24 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Mason, TX

At the Confluence of the Mighty Llano River and the Majestic James River lies something completely unexpected - an undiscovered gem in the Texas hill country. The Dos Rios. We have over 19.3 acres of hill country beauty to explore. Take a casual dip in the mighty Llano River, or take the plunge off of 20-foot red rock cliffs into deep cool water. Kayak, canoe, swim, visit the Eckart Bat Cave, or take a scenic drive down the gorgeous James River Road (a winding gravel road that goes over several low water crossings on the crystal clear James River). Enjoy the island in front of the property, with its beaches and multiple access points to swimming holes. We also have camping, tiny homes, vintage airstreams, and modern glamping tents available (see other Hipcamp listings). Kayaks and canoes available for epic river trips too!

Low Gear Farmstead

32mi from South Llano River Campground · 32 sites · Tents, RVs · Menard, TX

Get into low gear and enjoy the slow pace and peace of our little working farm on the edge of the hill country. Low Gear Farmstead's 75 acres border the lovely San Saba River, providing campers the opportunity to swim, wade, fish and paddle. Farm animals including dairy goats, chickens, and horses inhabit the property, but wildlife such as deer, wild turkey, ringtail, fox and armadillo is also abundant. Bird watchers will be delighted at the diversity of birds, especially in spring. Don't forget to look up at night as our dark skies provide excellent stargazing on clear nights and a very visible Milky Way. We limit the number of campsites and spread them out so that campers may enjoy privacy and seclusion. Campsites are provided with compost toilets and most sites also have a fire ring. 4WD is not required unless we have had heavy rains, otherwise most vehicles, except very low clearance ones, do fine. The nearest town, Menard, is about a 12 minute drive from the property and has a grocery store, gas stations, a couple restaurants, a pub and a bakery. Lovers of history might enjoy visiting the Presidio de San Saba, about 20 minutes from the farm, as well as the historic Pioneers Rest Cemetery in town. Low Gear Farmstead is a safe, welcoming space for queers and POC.

Cabin at the Ranch - Harper, TX

28mi from South Llano River Campground · 1 site · Lodging · Harper, TX

The Ranch is our place we like to go when we need to get away. It's raw and it's nice land to camp, explore and enjoy wildlife. We have a Wildlife Exemption on the property and enjoy managing native song birds. We keep a constant flow of bird seed located in feeders around the ranch, and we have seen all kinds of birds making this a great place for birders. The ranch has nice elevation changes with a wet weather creek that traverses the property. There are some trails to hike or mountain bike. The cabin is rustic without plumbing or electricity, but we enjoy it and it's fun to think it's everything we would need. This is off-grid living all the way, and we are constantly learning new and better ways to do things. The cabin is located on the very first spot we pitched a tent after purchasing the land, and we continue to make improvements as we go. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Hill Terrace

6.3mi from South Llano River Campground · 8 sites · Lodging · Junction, TX

The site sits near the junction of Bailey Creek and the South Llano River. The land is managed for bird watching and plant diversity and boast and astonishing variety of plant species. The Painted Bunting and the Black-throated Sparrow almost always available for view here. Hill Terrace Cabins One and Three began their existence as Depression era Girls Scout cabins. Humans have been on the site and estimated 7,000 years now and there is strong sense of peace and continuity in the land and waters here. An historical marker on site relates a famous shoot-out between The Texas Rangers and the infamous Potter gang. The wells are shallow, spring fed, and sweet with limestone, so bring your favorite tea or coffee. And a hat! The river is flowing well, but burn bans may be in effect.

North Llano River RV Park

3.9mi from South Llano River Campground · 46 sites · RVs · Junction, TX

North Llano River RV Park in Junction, Texas is the perfect place to stop for guests traveling along I-10. If you’re traveling west, stop here to relax and fuel up before driving through hundreds of miles of vast desert until you get to El Paso, Las Cruces or Phoenix, etc. If you’re headed East along I-10, our safe, quiet and scenic RV Park is a refreshing sight, as there are not many options for RV Parks along I-10 west of Junction.

Turkeys everywhere. loved the nature and river

Mark W.

July 2018

Maybe tent-camping in 100 degree weather wasn't the smartest idea we've ever had, but South Llano River State Park kept us cool. For the most part. There are two main areas to access the river and swim, float, sit, cool off. It involves a .3 mile walk or drive from the campsites, depending on where you go, so plan accordingly. The walk in campsites nice, but next time we may stay at the water/electric sites, as there was a good mix of tent campers and RV's and there was more shade. GREAT hot showers and had amazingly great cell phone service the whole time. Saw a variety of wildlife: armadillos, turkeys, snakes (in the water!), a fox, deer, a great Blue Heron and lots of birds and lizards.
