Best in Texas: Finalist
Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
River Forest Haven is a unique space that seeks to bring you closer to nature. We do not artificially light the camp and we strive to leave as much of the property in its natural state as we can. This provides a unique experience that is not your typical campground as we keep all of our campsites tucked under lush natural canopies. Car and tent camping works great! For most sites, you can easily drive up to your spot. Arrive, take a look around and settle into your site. We are always happy to deliver any of our items from our general store- just message us on HipCamp and we will come by. With nearly half a mile of Colorado riverfront to swim, fish, toob, paddle-board, kayak, and canoe*, along with 30 acres to hike and explore, River Forest Haven is also a quick 20-minute drive from downtown Austin. THINGS OF NOTE: ⁃ cell phone service is mostly non-existent ⁃ firewood can be brought or bought, but not collected.

The campsite offers a beautiful natural setting with lush, shady spaces and an ideal location near Austin. Many visitors appreciate the attentive and friendly hosts who ensure a clean environment and offer convenient services like firewood delivery. While the river provides opportunities for canoeing and kayaking, some guests found it unswimmable due to its murky condition. There are reports of limited privacy at some sites and occasional noise from nearby highways, but overall, the experience is positive with a blend of tranquility and accessibility.
