Belton, TX

Gather Campground Bell County

132 RV Sites

Gather Campground in Belton, Texas, offers 132 full-hookup RV sites on concrete pads directly off I-35, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 81 feet behind a gated entrance. Deluxe and standard back-in and pull-through categories join a splash pad, pool, fitness center, and private bathroom suites. One hundred thirty-two sites span standard back-in, standard pull-thru, deluxe back-in, and deluxe pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 81 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Eighty-one feet on a full-hookup concrete pad accommodates the longest coaches with a tow. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, on-site dining, and a pet washing station handle the practical side. The private bathroom suites and gigabit WiFi are the details guests notice first. Reach the staff at 254-23 for reservations and directions from Temple. A splash pad and outdoor pool anchor the warm months, with a fitness center, recreation center, clubhouse, lounge, playground, community fire pit, and dog park filling the grounds. Pets are welcome. The design sensibility is the differentiator — resort-caliber finishes at a highway campground, which is not a combination the interstate corridor usually offers. Belton sits two and a half miles from downtown in the heart of Central Texas, between Lake Belton and Lake Stillhouse Hollow, with Temple, Killeen, and Fort Cavazos close and both Austin and Waco within an easy drive. Demand tracks interstate traffic and Central Texas events rather than a season. Spring and fall are most comfortable. Reserve ahead for holiday travel and event weekends.

Temple, TX

Belaire Junction RV Park

15 RV Sites

On the H.K. Dodgen Loop in Temple, Texas—founded by Bell County natives with genuine roots in the Temple-Belton community and positioned at one of the most convenient corridor stops on the I-35 between Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin—Belaire Junction RV Park offers a retro-styled, family-friendly community with full hookups, free WiFi and cable, a pool, splash pad, clubhouse, game room, playground, pickleball and basketball courts, and multiple fenced dog parks in a gated property that takes the standard I-35 layover and turns it into an actual destination stay. The weekly Take-Out Thursday and Food Truck Friday events bring local restaurant vendors onto the property, creating the on-site social energy that distinguishes Belaire Junction from the functional-but-forgettable highway parks that populate the Central Texas corridor. Full hookup sites accommodate big rigs with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer service alongside cable TV, WiFi, and the concrete infrastructure that supports extended stays in the Texas heat. Two laundry facilities and private restrooms and showers support multi-night and weekly guests. A pond on the property provides the immediate wildlife-watching and light fishing opportunity that many long-stay guests discover, and a recreation center, game room, and community fire pit extend the on-site activity options beyond the pool and splash pad. The gated entry provides the security that full-time and working RV travelers prioritize in a park with easy highway access. Temple sits in Bell County in Central Texas at the geographic center of the triangle formed by Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio—a position that makes it one of the most traveled stretches of highway in the state and simultaneously one of the most underappreciated stops for travelers who look past the highway exits. The city's history as a railroad town and the medical center anchored by Baylor Scott & White's flagship campus give it a civic character distinct from the bedroom communities that populate much of the I-35 corridor. The surrounding Bell County landscape transitions between the limestone Hill Country to the west and the blackland prairie that stretches east toward the Brazos River. Belton Lake, impounded on the Leon River in Bell County just a few miles from the park, provides the primary outdoor recreation anchor for the Temple-Belton area—a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir with 110 miles of shoreline, public boat ramps, swim beaches, and the bass and catfish fishing that the Central Texas reservoir system reliably produces. Stillhouse Hollow Lake to the south on the Lampasas River adds additional boating, fishing, and swim beach access within easy range. The city of Waco, 30 minutes north, offers the Magnolia Market at the Silos, Baylor University's campus and bear habitat, and the National Ranger Hall of Fame. Belaire Junction operates year-round in Temple's mild Central Texas climate, where the I-35 corridor's year-round traffic creates consistent demand from both overnight travelers and the extended-stay community that uses the park as a base for work assignments in the medical, military, and manufacturing sectors that drive Bell County's economy. The Food Truck Friday events are the week's social highlight and a genuine incentive for guests to plan their travel timing accordingly. Reserve your site at Belaire Junction and let Temple's friendly Bell County character prove that the best stop on the Central Texas I-35 run isn't always the one the exit signs are loudest about.

Bertram, TX

Cedar Bend RV Park

30 RV Sites

On 10 acres in Bertram, Texas—the Burnet County Hill Country community where the historic 1912 Bertram Depot once served as a stop on the Austin and Northwestern Railroad and still serves as the turnaround point for the Hill Country Flyer steam train excursion that departs Cedar Park and carries passengers through the live oak and cedar landscape of Burnet County's Hill Country—Cedar Bend RV Park offers 30 full hookup sites with WiFi, laundry, walking trails, a community fire pit, and dog park in a peaceful, cedar-and-oak setting that positions guests in the convergence of the Hill Country, wine country, and Highland Lakes country that the Burnet County landscape uniquely provides. For Austin-area escapes and Texas road-trippers threading the Highland Lakes chain, Cedar Bend puts it all within reach. Full hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer service on private 10 acres provide the comfortable RV infrastructure alongside WiFi connectivity, coin laundry, clean bathrooms, a community fire pit and picnic tables, and walking trails through the cedar and live oak terrain. The dog park accommodates traveling pets in a Hill Country environment where the surrounding landscape—with its rocky terrain, cedar thorns, and the rattlesnake awareness that serious Texas outdoors travel requires—makes a fenced space genuinely preferable to off-leash roaming. A library and personal mailbox service extend the amenity set for extended-stay guests who use Cedar Bend as a longer-term Hill Country base. Bertram sits in Burnet County approximately 45 miles northwest of Austin and 15 miles east of Burnet in the Highland Lakes corridor where the Colorado River's impoundment chain creates Lake Buchanan, Inks Lake, Lake LBJ, Lake Marble Falls, and Lake Travis in the sequence of Hill Country reservoirs that provide the most concentrated water recreation inventory in Central Texas. The Highland Lakes' bass fishing, boating, swimming, and the limestone-canyon scenery that the Hill Country's geology creates around every reservoir provides the day-trip recreation infrastructure for Cedar Bend guests who want the lake experience alongside the Hill Country character. The Hill Country Flyer steam excursion train, departing from the Cedar Park station and stopping at the historic Bertram Depot, provides one of the most authentically nostalgic Hill Country experiences—a round trip through the oak and cedar landscape aboard vintage 1950s coaches behind a heritage steam locomotive, with the Burnet terminus offering the option to explore the historic Burnet square and the Globe Theatre, the 1935 Art Deco movie palace that hosts live music and film screenings in a restored venue that exemplifies small-town Texas's commitment to its cultural infrastructure. The Texas Wine Trail's Hill Country wineries—concentrated between Fredericksburg, Llano, and Marble Falls—are accessible within an hour from Bertram. Cedar Bend operates year-round in Burnet County's Hill Country climate, where the spring wildflower season from late February through April produces the bluebonnet and Indian paintbrush displays that draw photographers and weekend travelers from across Texas to the Hill Country roadsides. Summer brings the Highland Lakes' water recreation to peak activity, and fall offers the Hill Country's golden light and the comfortable temperatures that make October the most pleasant camping month in the region. Reserve your site at Cedar Bend and let Bertram's Hill Country, the Flyer train, the Highland Lakes, and the Texas wine country deliver the complete Central Texas experience from a ten-acre cedar grove.

Comanche, TX

Republic of Texas Campground

25 RV Sites

Republic of Texas Campground in Comanche, Texas, offers a peaceful and welcoming RV park at the edge of the Texas Hill Country, occupying a position in Comanche County where the rolling oak and juniper terrain of the Hill Country's eastern transition zone creates a scenic and genuinely rural setting for travelers seeking the quiet hospitality of small-town Central Texas without the tourist infrastructure pressure of the more heavily visited Hill Country communities to the south and west. Named with pride for the independent republic that preceded Texas statehood, the campground reflects the deep-rooted historical identity of one of the state's most authentic frontier county seats. The campground provides full hookup sites with water, electric, and sewer connections in a pet-friendly environment that welcomes traveling dogs with space to roam and the practical amenities that make multi-night stays comfortable for families. Wi-Fi service, clean restrooms and showers, and a playground supplement the utility connections, and the park's organized activities programming adds social value for guests who enjoy the planned event culture that distinguishes active campgrounds from simple overnight parking options. The property's atmosphere reflects the genuine Texas welcome that characterizes independently operated campgrounds in small communities where repeat visitors and word-of-mouth referrals drive occupancy. Comanche County's landscape represents the Hill Country's northeastern edge, where the Llano Uplift's granite and limestone outcroppings soften into the Post Oak Savanna's gentler rolling terrain and the rivers shift from the clear, spring-fed streams of the deeper Hill Country to the murkier tributaries of the Brazos River watershed. The county's namesake town preserves one of Central Texas's most complete nineteenth-century commercial districts, with limestone and sandstone buildings along the historic square reflecting the courthouse culture and mercantile heritage of a frontier county that was established in 1856 during the era of Comanche raids that gave both the county and the tribe their tangled history. Proctor Lake, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir on the Leon River approximately 15 miles west of Comanche, provides the primary large-water recreation destination for the area, with boating, fishing for catfish and bass, and swimming access in a setting that draws weekend visitors from the Fort Worth corridor and the Waco and Abilene metropolitan areas. The Colorado River communities of Lake Brownwood to the west and the Lampasas and Burnet lake country to the south extend the regional recreation options available for guests using the campground as a base. The town of Comanche's Pioneer Burial Park—one of the most historically significant frontier cemeteries in the state—and the Comanche Chief Courthouse provide local cultural context for guests interested in the deep history of this corner of Texas. Republic of Texas Campground operates year-round in Central Texas's four-season climate, with spring's wildflower season and fall's mild temperatures representing the most comfortable windows for outdoor exploration in the Hill Country transition zone. Summer temperatures in Comanche County can be hot, but the park's mature tree cover and evening breezes off the rolling terrain moderate the heat sufficiently for comfortable camping for guests who plan outdoor activities for morning and evening hours. The campground's value pricing, genuine small-town Texas character, and position at the gateway to the Hill Country's outdoor recreation make it a practical and atmospheric choice for budget-conscious travelers exploring Central Texas.

Lake Buchanan RV and Cabin Resort

69 RV Sites, 12 Cabins

Lake Buchanan RV and Cabin Resort in Burnet, Texas, offers 69 full-hookup RV sites and 12 cabins on the Texas Highland Lakes, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet, open year-round. Waterview, premium, and deluxe categories join a boat ramp, boat docks, beach, outdoor pool, hot tub, and fitness center. Sixty-nine sites run in deluxe, premium, and waterview categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 60 feet, with picnic tables. Three tiers keep booking simple, and the waterview category is the one to request. Sixty feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. Twelve cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A boat ramp, boat docks, and beach open the lake for boating, fishing, and swimming, with an outdoor pool, hot tub and sauna, fitness center, clubhouse, disc golf course, volleyball, horseshoes, walking trails, a pavilion, and playground filling the rest. Pets are welcome. Lake Buchanan is the largest and most western of the six Colorado River Highland Lakes that stretch from Austin northwest through the Hill Country — a 22,000-acre reservoir with genuinely open water, dramatic bluffs on the western shore, and a winter bald eagle population that draws birders. Burnet is the county seat, with Longhorn Cavern, Inks Lake State Park, and Marble Falls all close and Austin about an hour southeast. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand, with spring wildflowers and mild winters drawing steady shoulder traffic. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends.

Elm Mott, TX

I-35 RV Park & Campground

6 RV Sites

I-35 RV Park and Campground sits just north of Waco along the Interstate 35 corridor in Elm Mott, Texas — a genuinely full-service destination that exceeds interstate-stop expectations by a significant margin. While its highway-adjacent location makes it a practical overnight stop between Dallas and Austin, the park's amenity lineup and access to Waco's increasingly well-regarded attractions make it equally compelling as a multi-night base for exploring a city that has emerged as one of Texas's most visited destinations in recent years. The park accommodates large rigs with ample space and full hookup service, and the on-site amenity list goes well beyond what highway campgrounds typically deliver. Bubba's Breakfast Cafe handles morning meals without requiring a drive, and the indoor exercise facility, swimming pool, pet wash station, golf driving range, nature trails, and two fishing ponds create an on-site activity environment where guests rarely feel compelled to leave the grounds — even on days with no specific Waco itinerary planned. The park is pet-friendly throughout, reflecting a design philosophy that treats traveling animals as guests rather than afterthoughts. The park is pet-friendly throughout, and the on-site café eliminates the need to locate breakfast in an unfamiliar city after a late arrival the night before — a detail that experienced road travelers consistently rank among the most appreciated practical amenities any interstate campground can offer. The Central Texas landscape around Elm Mott and Waco occupies the Brazos River valley in a stretch where the Hill Country's character begins to assert itself in the limestone terrain beneath the grasslands. The Brazos River corridor through Waco and Cameron Park provides some of the most accessible nature recreation in central Texas, with trails threading through riparian woodland and over limestone bluffs that frame the river in ways that surprise visitors expecting generic Texas flatland. Waco's attraction lineup has expanded dramatically in the years since HGTV's Fixer Upper elevated the city's profile nationally. Magnolia Market at the Silos, the retail and culinary complex built by Chip and Joanna Gaines, has become one of the most visited sites in Texas and warrants at least a half-day. The Waco Mammoth National Monument preserves a remarkable fossil site where the world's largest discovery of Pleistocene mammoths was unearthed — the interpretive shelter over the excavation site puts visitors directly above bones still embedded in the earth. The Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum, Cameron Park Zoo along the Brazos River, and Hawaiian Falls waterpark add further depth to a Waco day-trip calendar that can easily sustain three or four days of varied exploration. I-35 RV Park operates year-round, with the spring and fall seasons offering the most comfortable temperatures for Waco's mix of outdoor monuments and walking-based attractions. Summer stays are comfortable in the park's shaded sites with the pool as a practical midday retreat. Reserve ahead for Baylor University football weekends in the fall, when McLane Stadium fills and accommodation demand across the Waco area intensifies quickly.

Kingsland, TX

Lake Fun Properties

28 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 1 House

Lake Fun Properties in Kingsland, Texas, delivers a lakefront resort camping experience on Lake Lyndon B. Johnson in Llano County's Hill Country corridor, where the Highland Lakes chain's deepest reservoir provides year-round boating, fishing, and water skiing on the clear, warm waters of the Colorado River impoundment that the Lower Colorado River Authority created in 1951. Positioned in the Colorado River's Highland Lakes chain between Lake Marble Falls to the east and Lake Buchanan to the west, the resort serves the lake-lifestyle visitors and Hill Country tourism travelers whose Kingsland itinerary centers on LBJ Lake's consistent recreational productivity and the nearby wine country and natural scenery of central Texas's most popular vacation region. The resort's waterfront amenity package delivers direct lake engagement: boat docks for guests who bring their own watercraft, canoeing and kayaking access, swimming in the Highland Lakes' clear warm water, and the walking trails and pavilion that extend the outdoor experience beyond the waterfront. Full hookup big-rig-friendly sites, cabin rentals, a clubhouse, dining, laundry, dump station, and Wi-Fi provide the complete infrastructure for multi-day lake stays, and the golf course access nearby serves guests who integrate fairway recreation into their lake-centered itinerary. Stargazing under the Hill Country's dark skies adds a celestial dimension to evening hours on the lake that the region's low light pollution makes genuinely rewarding. Lake LBJ is the deepest lake in the Highland Lakes chain and the most constant in level, receiving its water from the Highland Lakes impoundments above and maintaining consistent boating conditions that make it particularly popular for water skiing, wake boarding, and the pontoon boating culture that has defined the Kingsland and Horseshoe Bay residential lake community since the 1960s. The lake's 6,000 acres of clear Colorado River water enclosed by the Hill Country's granite-and-limestone terrain create the visual character of the central Texas lake experience at its most appealing—glassy morning water reflecting the live oak and juniper hillsides on both shores before the afternoon breeze arrives. Enchanted Rock State Natural Area, approximately 30 miles northwest via RM-152 and RM-965, provides the Hill Country's most celebrated geological attraction in the massive exfoliated granite dome that rises 425 feet above the Llano Uplift and is considered sacred by the Tonkawa people who inhabited this territory before European settlement. The Fredericksburg wine tasting corridor and the LBJ Ranch's birthplace and burial site are accessible in under an hour, and the Llano River—a dedicated Geological State Landmark for its exposure of some of the oldest rocks in Texas—flows through nearby Mason County in one of the Hill Country's clearest and most beautiful river corridors. Lake Fun Properties operates year-round in the Highland Lakes' semi-arid Hill Country climate, with the Lake LBJ boating and water sports season running at full capacity from late April through September when the warm water, consistent sunshine, and school-vacation calendar drive maximum lake recreation demand. Fall's cooler temperatures extend the boating and kayaking season into November with dramatically reduced boat traffic, and the wine harvest season at the surrounding Hill Country wineries creates an additional September-October visitation draw for guests combining lake recreation with the corridor's wine tourism. Winter's mild conditions sustain year-round lake fishing for the bass and crappie populations that LBJ's clear, deep water sustains.

North by Northwest RV Park

71 RV Sites, 8 Park Models

North by Northwest RV Park in Jonestown, Texas, offers 71 full-hookup back-in RV sites and eight park models four miles from Lake Travis, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 55 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Categories publish exact length — 35, 45, and 55 feet — alongside a premium tier, with a pavilion, laundry, and cabins. Seventy-one back-in sites run in 35-foot, 45-foot, 55-foot, and premium categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp. Publishing length by the foot removes every guess about fit and prices fairly — a 30-foot trailer does not pay for space it cannot use. Eight park models and tiny home cabins round out the lodging. A laundry and pavilion handle the practical side. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which keeps rates workable in one of the most expensive corners of the Austin metro and suits a park built for guests who spend their days on the water. Boating is nearby. Pets are welcome. The park is veteran-owned, and the attention to detail shows in the level sites and the maintenance. Jonestown sits in the Highland Lakes corridor four miles from Lake Travis, where the Colorado River's chain of reservoirs meets Hill Country terrain — one of the most coveted addresses in Central Texas for boating, fishing, and swimming, with Austin's music, food, and event calendar a straightforward drive southeast. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand from Austin, with SXSW, ACL, and Formula 1 weekends creating sharp spikes across the metro. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends and major event dates, and ask about extended-stay rates.

Krause Springs

18 RV Sites, 6 Tent Sites

Krause Springs in Spicewood, Texas, is one of the Texas Hill Country's most beloved and most enduring swimming and camping destinations — a 115-acre property owned by the Krause family for over five decades in Burnet County, where 32 natural springs feed both a manmade swimming pool and the natural pools of Cypress Creek's spring-run in a camping environment that combines the 45-degree spring water's clarity and cold with the cypress shade, the Hill Country cedar landscape, and the swimming hole character that Texas families have been making the Spicewood pilgrimage to enjoy across multiple generations of family camping tradition. The Krause family's long stewardship of the property has preserved the springs' natural character against the development pressure that has transformed much of the Lake Travis corridor surrounding them. Camping sites alongside the natural swimming pools, the manmade pool, and the 115-acre property's varied terrain give guests the full Krause Springs experience — the ability to camp overnight at the springs and swim morning and evening in the cold spring water that the cypress-shaded pools and the Cypress Creek spring run maintain at a consistent temperature regardless of the Hill Country's summer heat represents the specific family camping tradition that the Krause property has sustained for decades. The spring-fed pools' 45-degree temperature gives the swimming a refreshing contrast to the 95-degree summer air that Hill Country camping in July and August consistently provides. Pets are welcome. The spring system's 32 individual springs feed into the natural pools and Cypress Creek in a landscape that the overhanging cypress canopy and the limestone karst topography of the Hill Country define — the spring's origin in the Edwards Plateau aquifer system that underlies the central Texas Hill Country gives it the consistent water quality, temperature, and flow rate that surface-water features cannot maintain during summer drought conditions. The natural pools' graduated depth, the travertine terracing of the spring ledges, and the specific visual clarity of the karst spring water give the Krause Springs experience the character that distinguishes natural spring swimming from reservoir or river swimming. Pedernales Falls State Park, 20 miles east of Krause Springs in Blanco County, extends the day-trip range from the Spicewood spring campsite into the Pedernales River's limestone waterfall staircase and swimming holes that sustain another signature Hill Country water recreation experience. The park's Pedernales Falls overlook trail and the river access below the falls give visitors the full Hill Country river character that the spring swimming of Krause Springs complements with a different hydrology and a different scale of river landscape. Lake Travis, immediately east of Spicewood, provides the large-reservoir boating and water sports that the private and commercial marina infrastructure along the lake's north shore sustains for the Austin leisure market. Krause Springs serves guests from spring through fall in Burnet County's temperate Hill Country climate, with the summer swimming season from Memorial Day through Labor Day representing the most concentrated family camping demand from the Austin and San Antonio regional markets that have used the springs as a traditional summer cooling destination for generations. The spring's consistent water temperature makes it specifically rewarding in the hottest weeks of July and August when the 45-degree pool water provides the most dramatically refreshing contrast to the surrounding air temperature — a natural refrigeration that Austin-area families specifically plan the Spicewood trip around. Reserve camping spaces well ahead for summer weekends, when the Krause Springs camping availability fills from the Austin area family market that has made the property a multi-generational Hill Country summer tradition.

Spicewood RV Resort

101 RV Sites

Spicewood RV Resort in Texas offers 101 full-hookup RV sites with 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 80 feet in the Hill Country between Austin and Marble Falls. Waterfront, premium, compact, and standard back-in categories join pull-through sites, with an outdoor pool, clubhouse, pickleball, and a pond. One hundred one sites span compact back-in, standard back-in, premium back-in, waterfront back-in, and pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 80 feet. Two things worth knowing: service is 50-amp throughout, so bring an adapter if your rig runs 30, and the 80-foot capacity handles the longest coaches. The compact category gives smaller rigs a right-sized option. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, and a pet washing station handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with a pond supporting fishing, and pickleball, volleyball, ping pong, gaga ball, sports courts, a clubhouse, pavilion, playground, dog park, and biking filling the grounds. A golf course is nearby. Pets are welcome. Spicewood sits in Burnet County's Lake Travis and Lake LBJ corridor, where the Highland Lakes chain on the Colorado River gives the Hill Country its water recreation and the surrounding country gives it the limestone-and-live-oak character people come for. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand from Austin, with spring wildflowers and fall bringing the most comfortable Hill Country conditions. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends.
