Look no further for camping near Austin - Pace Bend Park is popular for camping on the cliffs overlooking Lake Travis, swimming on a beach, boating, and exploring the Hill Country beauty with miles of hike, bike, and equestrian trails.
Primitive Camping
Primitive campsites with picnic tables, barbecue grills, fire rings, and plenty of trees for shade and privacy are scattered along the cliffs and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The east and north sides of Pace Bend offer more gentle, sloping shorelines with sandy and gravel beaches, providing easy access to the lake for families with young children and people with disabilities. Numerous primitive campsites can be found among the oak and mesquite trees and all are within a short walk to the lake. Camping on the beach is also permitted.
Please note that primitive camping permits do not include shower privileges. Waterless toilets are available.
Improved Camping
Pace Bend offers 20 improved campsites, with water and electrical hook-ups, showers and restrooms. These sites are all located on the east side of the park just above Levi Cove, within easy walking distance to the lake. They feature plenty of shade trees and flat, grassy areas for tent camping. All sites are back-ins only. Reservations are highly recommended.
Parking is available on site. A maximum of two vehicles may occupy a site.
Have lived near Lake Travis for years and long sought some great cliff jumping. Finally found it (all I had to do was ask 🤣)
Beautiful park with lots of room for biking or hiking. Much of the water front is accessible but a turn on one side gets cliffs and rock formations up to 40' high. ❤️❤️
Last I was there, cash only, so make sure you have it.
Been going to this park for years. Spacious sites for the rv. Spotless park, very friendly park personel.
This is a great spot for all year round! We love to come on random weekends or weekdays and just enjoy the peaceful scenery. It's never overcrowded. You can drive right up to the water in some parts. Bluebonnet season is the best time out here.
We pitched a tent and camped here for two nights in March and it was GREAT! Our spot #12, had everything we needed for a great stay. Grill, picnic table, parking spot, excellent power situation, fire pit, water spout for dishes and a flat, dry spot for the tent. This spot was far away from the restrooms so that no one really bothered us during the night.....but the walk wasn't so far that it was a pain to walk that way when we needed to. Highly recommend. Hope the pics help!
Awesome park with beach like spots and great MTB trails. Park is very big and has 40 to 50 ft cliff faces at some points. Its the same distance for me to the coast but no gellyfish and clear water will make this my new beach destination. No more gulf coast for me
