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!

Site 10 - Happy Horse Camping, Cabin, and RV

We visited as first time RV campers and had a blast. The property has wonderful bike trials our kids loved exploring (8 and 10 yrs old). The property is also located close to amazing hiking, kayaking, and fishing spots! Don't forget the music lessons, we now have a new aspiring ukulele player! We cannot say enough wonderful things about this camp site 😀

Site 10 - Happy Horse Camping, Cabin, and RV

Our stay at Happy Horse Hotel exceeded our expectations. Our RV site was well kept, spacious and private and we appreciated the starter pile of firewood. We loved the trails on the property and the bonus of a scavenger hunt. This property is a hidden gem. Hollis and Beaux were the perfect hosts and we look forward to staying here again

This is my favorite place to camp with my family and friends. This was our 2nd year at this site and we absolutely loved it. The hosts are always accommodating and helpful. The set ups for each campsite are super cute. Recommend to book!!

Happy Horse Bungalow

We always have a great time whenever we stay here. A group of us get together for a friend‘s birthday and plenty of room for us and the kids to run around and just be together and relax. Hollis is a great host and very responsive to any needs you may have.

Site 7 - Happy Horse Camping, Cabin, and RV

First time at Happy Horse and we will definitely be back. Hollis and Beaux were wonderful hosts and made us feel so at home in their oasis. They met us at the gate and suggested a better spot for our two campers so that we were better situated next to each other. The evening music show was a great add around the campfire. There are a bevy of trails on the property and the adults enjoyed competing on the scavenger hunt, finding all the little surprises and tchotchkes all around the property. The "johns" were very simple and clean - all you needed. And they also have outdoor showers so you can look at the stars while you clean up! If you need a decompression weekend, this is your place. Looking forward to coming back and visiting some more with Hollis and Beaux again.
