Tejas Park

I am writing this review after staying here about 10 nights over a two year period. I will always have a soft spot for Tejas Park due to its proximity to Austin and the $6 per night cost. The sites are very basic - tent only without any water or electric at the tent site. There is a drinking water fountain/spigot rather near the parking area. No fancy bath house, just a very rustic composting toilet. Again, for the cost, I feel that’s fair. I have never had a single problem with anyone here. People seem to be happy to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Note, it does get super super busy on weekends, year round. In summer I suggest you book in advance. The park is always well maintained and free of trash.

The campsite was great, thanks.

I stayed at site 1 this weekend. Very clean and pretty private. Lots of space. Saturday mornings get pretty busy and this site is adjacent to the road. So quite a bit of traffic comes and goes. Great river access here.

This camp is so well maintained. The camp host always takes time to wave or say hello. You can chose trails for hiking, swimming and fishing. I'll be back!

I did get to go.
I did not see a way to cancel, so that was disappointing. This site's GUI could use an improvement or two

Great trail, great size plots. Only issue was that the gravel was too rocky for tent stakes in some areas on my platform (#10).

I really like this park. I have camped in Tejas Camp Park at least four times. Several of these trips I arrived on bicycle from the Lake Georgetown Trail.
That said, and with the memories of those visits I am sorry to report I feel the park is no longer on my 'favorites' list.
Problems: The entrance road has a huge car damaging hole right in the middle of the entrance! Several times I was awakened by the sound of cars dragging on the ground and metal parts being bent and broken. The Pit toilets ventilation system is not working. However the door latches are improved! The Camp Host is a wonderful man! I'm sorry he has to deal with the trials of being the point of contact for this park. The tent pads are eroded and no longer level... all of them, I was there through the day on a Tuesday, and being the only camper there I walked the park to see if there was a pad I would prefer... nope. There is still no way to enter campsites 1 through 4 or 5... without having to lift your baggage over a crotch-wrecking metal guard rail. Come on, put some openings in there so we don't have to park on the county road and cross at the low spot in the railing.
The area outside of the park looks like the runoff to a truck stop. Mud, pot holes and trash. I have cuts all over my arms from trying to reach the trash to throw it away. Clear some brush at least!

Used Camp Tejas as basecamp for our trip to Sawyer Campground - It was excellent

Great trail along the south bank of the North San Gabriel River and Georgetown Lake. Campsite was comfortable. The coyotes did get a little loud overnight, though.

The sites are set up perfectly to make things easy. The square pads for tents make it easy for level ground with no large rocks to worry about. I also loved the fire pits that have a pull down grill built right in. It is a nice quite get away and not too far from stores in case you forget something.
