River Forest Haven- Forest Sites
A bit rough
The sites are pretty lacking. Just a fire ring and that’s it. No picnic table or hook for garbage. There are two portapotties for the whole campground and two shower stalls that are out in the open and don’t offer much privacy. We ended up driving to a state park down the road to use their facilities instead. At night it’s quite noisy due to a live concert venue nearby and from the cowboys shooting off guns.
My car picked up a nail at some point making laps trying to find an open site (the light came on as I was leaving,) which lead to my tire needing to be replaced before we drove the 2+ hours home.
The best part for us were the friendly staff and the fireflies. We would not stay here again.

5 star camping experience
We loved staying here, and you will too if you don’t mind a primitive campsite (no picnic table provided). We had the best forest site, located very close to both the river/beach access and the restroom (which was probably the cleanest porta potty I’ve ever been in), yet still private. All the forest sites have heavy shade. Loved floating on the river. Good vibes all around. Went exploring in McKinney Falls State Park the next day (20-25 min away)

RV Site A
There was lots of trees, campsites felt secluded. The staff we interacted with were friendly and knowledgeable. We had a RV, but couldn't find where to dump grey water. Other then that, we loved it! The common areas were clean and relaxing with great picnic tables and low lighting for the evening camp fires.

Camping with my son :)
It was really easy to set up, get the lay of the land and get help when needed. Staff was always available and generous. Facilities were clean and well maintained. Really enjoyed my stay!

Great secluded camping spot! Would’ve been much more enjoyable had it not been memorial weekend and wasn’t so crowded! But all in all, it was a very nice spot.

Great stay!!
Me and my family stayed here for 2 nights and it was absolutely wonderful. The guys that work the grounds are really friendly and responsive. We camped site 13. It was very private which we all loved. The other campsites are near enough to feel like a little community but spread apart far enough so that you aren’t making eye contact with other campers from your site. 10/10 would recommend!

First time camping w/ my love & dog
I loved camping at River Forest Haven so much that I'd really like to keep it a secret. :) The off-roading experience upon the entry of the campsite is a fun experience - just be careful if it rains hard and it can get very muddy. We learned more about the sites when we camped there and I think the design were brilliant --- some of sites are close to water, while some sites are completely out in the wilderness.
The bonus? The flowing waters of Colorado River. Loved that! Also, only 30 minutes from ATX? That's another bonus right there! A quick weekend escape without long hours of driving.

Best in central Texas.
Say listen, bring a hammock (don't sleep on the ground like a savage) and enjoy a great place to fish and swim during the day. And campfire activities at night with the lightning bugs. Warm showers, and secluded natural spots that embrace nature not conform it.

We had a great time! In fact, we're planning our next trip there in June. Got a little lost at first but they helped us figure out where to go. The firewood delivery was wonderful!

Well kept sites and fun river acces
We had a great time at River Forest Haven. We had site 13 near the beach entrance. There are several other sites nearby in that part of the property which gives you a sense of community. There are other sites that are more isolated if you are looking to be more alone. The site was well kept and the staff was very nice and attentive. The river access was great for our kids and dog. We would return!

Overall we had a good experience, the owner was great with communication and checked on us when we arrived. It was a full weekend and they accommodated us with a space for our trailer to fit. The site was not as private as I was hoping it would be, we ended up driving to McKinney State Park to do some hiking.

Almost Nice
We were very excited to stay because of the information and images found on your website but when we arrived things were in great disrepair. It didn’t look anything like the pictures. Some of it was due to an ice storm that came through our area but it mostly looked like the woods have gone without maintenance for decades. The hosts were nice and willingly changed our campsite to one without fallen trees everywhere. They were apologetic but no discount was offered. It is near an active neighborhood with gun fire at night and barking dogs.

Beautiful land with lots of campsites near the river and many that offer a lot of privacy. The hosts are wonderful and very friendly. We will come back and are letting friends know how close this camp is to Austin. Perfect for weekend getaways to the river! Thank you River!

Definitely recommend this campground, pretty much all the spots are prime spots and they have ave easy access to the river. I have a rooftop tent and it was nice that the spots are pretty leveled. Hot shower was nice but do wish there were more toilets but the walk isn't too bad. TIP: Not the camps fault but because there are neighbor properties, dogs like to bark at night, just bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper :)

Lovely campgrounds
A great setup here, the site was right on the river and felt nice and secluded. The campground manager brought around candy for trick or treaters and a pumpkin to carve for Halloween! The option to text them for firewood or kayaks or other supplies was great and such a thoughtful idea. The showers were great for outdoors showers and even had hot water! I really enjoyed the stay.

Really loved the site and the campgrounds in general, right on the river and river access at sites 17 and 18 was super easy. It was a nice short drive from Austin too which makes a weekend trip very low effort. Very pretty area, staff was super friendly and helpful, and we're looking forward to getting back out there soon.

My son and I had a great time. He enjoyed playing by the river and there was a nice field nearby for us to throw the baseball in. I would definitely come back if staying in Austin again.

Good Camping Spot
It was a great spot, very popping. The bugs are insane but it’s Austin so you can’t expect much else. I camped with my kitten and she loved exploring the area.

Camping in the Colorado River!
We had a great time car camping here. We stayed at spot 9. The grounds were so clean and well kept. We rented kayaks and spent the day on the water. I would recommend staying here for your next trip!
