Creature comforts
Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
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.

Fantastic place and hosts! Quick to respond and helpful. The roads are a little rough, but the campsites are large and spaced well.

River Haven is really a haven amidst the city vibe. I loved the trees and birds. River and company were all super helpful and kind. The showers were amazing!!

The Bell at River+ Site 3
Relaxing family weekend
We had a lovely 2 night stay at The Bell with our two kids ages 5 and 11. The tent and site had plenty of room for us to spread out. The floating dock was so peaceful. There is an open area nearby where you could play catch or frisbee. It was a short walk to the showers, porta potty, and water spigot. My family really enjoyed the tetherball set up on the other end of the campground. The beach/lawn was meh, but we still enjoyed exploring the property. There are so many pretty spots. There is electricity in the tent and they will deliver firewood to your site, two perks I wasn’t sure about before arriving.

Will be back!
Our favorite hip camp spot we’ve ever used. Bathroom were ok and the trash cans overflowed but overall, staff was SO friendly and honestly just the whole experience was easy and effortless. Such a gem so close to Austin!! Highly recommend. One thing is forest sites do not have picnic sites. Our mistake for missing that.

The Bambi
We had a blast, the best night's sleep, and the most peaceful evening I had. A couple of things when getting to the site it was scary. If you use the link in Hip Camp, Google Maps wants go down through someone's backyard so don't. Just look up Hip Camp in Google Maps for the correct route. I pick the Bambi camper site. The site was amazing the camper is new and very clean. we had a few issues with the camper that the host quickly fixed, they offered us a free rental for tubing down the river which was nice. If you want somewhere out of the way and a quiet night go camping here.
