The best camping near Evant with hiking

·

Evant sits at a crossroads of oak-studded hills and rugged trails—prime hiking country in central Texas. Hipcamp lists over 330 places here where you can roll out your sleeping bag and hit the trails straight from camp. Expect campsites with pet-friendly policies, hot showers, and toilets that don’t require a trek of their own. Hiking is the star, but you’ll also find spots for a swim or a horseback ride if you want to mix things up. Prices start at $25 a night, averaging around $99. The Hill Country Glamping Photo Safari (85 reviews) stands out for its wildlife views and sunrise hikes; Off the grid ranch (48 reviews) draws hikers looking for wide open space; Regency Bridge Park (45 reviews) puts you right near the historic bridge and river. You’ll find trails that cut through cedar breaks, climb limestone bluffs, and wind along creeks—just don’t forget sturdy boots and plenty of water.
