Located in the hill country of Texas, the campsite encompasses 60 acres that borders the Balcones National Wildlife Refuge on three sides. There is a spring fed creek with waterfall, and plenty of trails. There is no running water or power, but there is a porta potty located at the campsite. Whitewater Springs is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Aside from hiking and exploring, the surrounding area offers many activities you can take advantage of. The closest town is Bertram, which has many restaurants to dine in. Twenty minutes gets you to Marble Falls, where you can take in the views of the lake from restaurants balconies. Also in Marble Falls is the Bluebonnet Cafe, which has been in business for over 75 years. Liberty Hill is another great place to visit. It has an international sculpture park that attracts many visitors. An hour away is historic Fredericksburg, with amazing food and historic downtown.

Booked for a last-minute camping trip. Had a bit of a hard time getting in (was given the wrong code!), and had to drive to Oatmeal to get service again, but once we got a hold of the host and got the correct code, we were able to get in and everything was great! Beautiful secluded spot, you can really see the stars. My partner said the porta-potty was rough but I didn't go in so I can't speak first-hand. Otherwise great spot and would definitely recommend!

My family had a fantastic time at Flatrock Hollow! This was our first time camping with our two kids, 3 and 5, and it was just perfect. Exploring the creek and waterfall was a blast for all ages - there are shallow areas good for kids to play in, and a deeper swimming area for the bigger people. We saw wild turkeys, cactus flowers in bloom, gorgeous views, and all kinds of interesting plants and insects (nothing scary though). There is a table, fire ring, and separate grill box available which we used for cooking with charcoal. If you're bringing young kids, bring along a potty chair for them so they don't need to use the porta potty. The camp site felt really secluded but it's such easy driving distance from Austin, and best part is we didn't have to share the camp with anyone else! We will definitely be back again and again.

Great spot to camp. Location couldn't be better. Quiet and peaceful. Creek was short walk with markers to keep u from getting lost. Very impressed.

Awesome camp ground with lots to explore and beautiful scenery. Mark provides maps of points of interest, which is super helpful for finding the waterfall and the scenic overlook. Couple of minor gripes however, the paint used to mark the trails had faded a bit, so it was a tad hard to see, not impossible, but if someone was hard of sight it would have been difficult. Second thing, there were some hogs in the area while we were camping that frightened my girlfriend. At first we heard them snorting around past the waterfall, but then when we returned to camp we began to hear a number of them rooting around, and I saw some in the distance. I have no experience dealing with wild hogs, but have heard how they can be aggressive, so that may be a problem in the future. But like I said, those are minor gripes, the overall experience was amazing and would definitely recommend.
